LANCOM XS-4530YUP

Highlights

High performance on 30 ports
The LANCOM XS-4530YUP is equipped with 12x 2.5G multi-Gigabit PoE++ Ethernet ports, 12x 10G multi-Gigabit PoE++ Ethernet ports as well as 4x SFP28 and 2x QSFP28 ports, which support transfer rates of 25 and 100 Gbps respectively. With the SFP28 and QSFP28 ports, you can continue to use your existing fiber optics infrastructure while benefiting from higher bandwidths per port at the same time. This means that fewer hardware purchases are required in the long term, which reduces your investment costs (CapEx). With a data throughput of 900 Gbps on the backplane, the switch offers wirespeed performance even at high workloads. The multi-Gigabit access switch thus forms the powerful basis for modern network infrastructures in all industries and areas of application.

Network design with 100% uptime via VPC
Virtual Port Channel (VPC), or Multi-chassis Link Aggregation Group (MC-LAG), is the preferred solution for increasing the reliability of large network infrastructures. If you link two LANCOM XS-4530YUP in a VPC network and connect the underlying network components redundantly, the other switch remains active in the event of a failure or during in-service software update (ISSU) of one of the VPC-connected switches, thus ensuring 100% uptime. This is possible because both switches remain physically independent devices that merely form a virtual network. In addition, the link speed of the underlying network components is multiplied, as a VPC network allows multiple connections to the underlying level (active/active). For constant data forwarding, the switches exchange important information about the network, such as MAC tables, via their peer link.

A high-performance basis for Wi-Fi 7 – PoE included
Thanks to twelve high-performance 10G multi-Gigabit Ethernet ports, the PoE switch LANCOM XS-4530YUP is the ideal LAN-side basis for integrating Wi-Fi 7 into modern infrastructures. This is because Wi-Fi 7 access points or other network components with high transmission speeds and energy requirements mean increased performance requirements at the access level. To ensure the full performance and range of 10G, cables with higher specifications such as CAT6a or CAT7 are required. For a centralized and efficient power supply without additional electrical installation or power supply units, the LANCOM XS-4530YUP supplies connected PoE end devices and supports the Power over Ethernet standards IEEE 802.3af (PoE), IEEE 802.3at (PoE+), and IEEE 802.3bt PD-Type 4 (PoE++) with up to 90 watts per port. Thanks to high power reserves, a PoE budget of 1,440 watts is available when using both power supply units in power mode.

Advantages

Redundant network topologies with high-performance stacking
Stacking allows up to eight physical switches from the XS-4500 series to be combined into one logical unit for convenient maintenance and management – at a single site or even distributed across different sites. The stacking function can be activated on both the front SFP28 and the rear QSFP28 uplink ports. The stack manager uses the non-stop forwarding function to cyclically supply its standby with current information such as the MAC table and its own status information. In the event of a failure, the standby manager can ensure that the network is almost 100% up and running within a few seconds. In the event of a firmware update, the stack is restarted, for which a maintenance window must be scheduled. The entire stack can be conveniently managed and monitored via cloud-managed switch stacking using the LANCOM Management Cloud. The network can also be expanded at a later date, as the new switch receives its configuration automatically from the stack manager and is ready for use within seconds.

Full control over your investment
Fully equipped ex works, ready for immediate use, everything from a single source: In accordance with the principle of „Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO), the LANCOM XS-4530YUP gives you planning security from the very beginning and at all times with regard to the acquisition costs for your network expansion. The full expansion with all necessary ports in the industry standard makes time-consuming and costly retrofitting of pro­prietary port modules a thing of the past. Furthermore, our accessories portfolio provides you with the necessary SFP modules and direct attach cables directly from us in tested LANCOM quality. In addition to the guarantee of maximum operational reliability through extensive load and long-term testing of the modules and interoperability tests with the entire LANCOM portfolio, you also save on long delivery times.

Full layer 3 routing for high network efficiency

The LANCOM XS-4530YUP is full layer 3 capable with policy-based dynamic routing via OSPF or BGP4, providing dynamic network routes through one or more network segments. This provides tremendous increase in network efficiency for example in meshed networks with multiple aggregation switches at different locations.

Operational reliability with hardware redundancy
The LANCOM XS-4530YUP with a “hot-swappable“ PSU (power supply unit) allows the power supply unit to be replaced quickly and without inter­ruption in the event of a breakdown. A separate plug-in slot realizes the addition of a second PSU. With the integration of two redundant power supply units, for example, highly fail-safe scenarios can be realized. In addition, the redundant (N+1) fan concept also ensures fail-safe switch operation in case one of the two fans fails.

Cloud-managed LAN with port templates
With the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC) and Cloud-managed LAN, the LANCOM XS-4530YUP offers quick and easy network integration as well as automatic provision of the configuration across locations with the a click of a mouse. Time-consuming individual device and switch port configurations are now a matter of the past. The targeted switch rollout via the LMC enables automatic VLAN assignment to switch ports including practical switch port profiles and therefore “zero-touch” assignment to the devices.

Secure Terminal Access provides access to the command line of the LANCOM switch („CLI tunneling”) directly from the LANCOM Management Cloud – encrypted and without leaving the cloud interface. Secure Terminal Access provides expert functions as well as extensive diagnostic and troubleshooting commands for the devices. Some highlights include: “trace” and “ping” commands for quick troubleshooting, access to low-level configuration parameters and detailed statistics of the LCOS SX operating system as well as secure remote access to third-party devices in the local network via the integrated SSH client.

Configurable access control & secure remote management
The LANCOM XS-4530YUP stops rogue clients from gaining unauthorized access to the network. This is ensured by secured access control on all ports as per IEEE 802.1X (port-based, single, multi, and MAC-based) or by ACLs (access control lists). Thanks to secure communication protocols such as SSH, SSL, and SNMPv3, professional remote management of the network is possible. The switch also supports the TACACS+ protocol for authentication, authorization, and accounting. This optimized solution promises maximum security for multi-site network management and monitoring.

Maximum future-proofing and digital sovereignty
As an established German manufacturer of IT network solutions, LANCOM stands for reliability and know-how. Software and hardware development as well as production take place primarily in Germany, as does the hosting of the network management. Special attention is given to providing trusted solutions with outstanding security features. Another important security characteristic of the products is that they are free from backdoors, as awarded by the German Federal Ministry of Economy with the quality seal “IT Security made in Germany”. All devices are always equipped with with hardware that is dimensioned for the future. Even across product generations, updates to the LANCOM operating system family are available several times a year, free of charge. his guarantees a long service life while staying technically up to date, which represents a true protection of your investment. In addition, LANCOM infrastructures are easily scalable thanks to maximum compatibility.
