Important Notes
Default uplinks are 4 × 1 Gb SFP; for higher-speed uplinks, choose a model with 10 G ports.
The 505 W PoE budget may limit maximum PoE+ power across all 48 ports simultaneously.
Network Essentials license includes core Layer 3 features; advanced routing (BGP, MPLS) requires Network Advantage.
Stacking requires a separate StackWise-320 kit.
