Stackable Layer 3 switch for voice networks

The HPE A3600-48 EI is a stackable Layer 3 switch built for voice-optimised Gigabit networking. It provides up to 48 ports running at 10/100 speeds and four Gigabit uplinks. The design supports Distributed Device Management and Dynamic Link Aggregation for simplified operations.

17.6 Gbps switching capacity under sustained load

The 17.6 Gbps switching capacity handles continuous traffic from 48 active ports and four uplinks without oversubscription. RIP and OSPF routing run in hardware to keep latency low during prolonged convergence events. Stackable architecture lets multiple units share the load across a single logical control plane.

Replaces standalone 10/100 switches lacking Layer

This unit consolidates separate access switches and a router into one stackable chassis. The jump is worth it when you need hardware-based RIP and OSPF, DDM visibility across the stack, and PoE-ready ports for IP phones. It is not for buyers who require 10 GbE uplinks or higher port densities.
