Campus Network Switching & Management
Overview
A campus needs managed switching to segment student, staff, lab, and IoT traffic and to power access points and cameras over one cable. Managed PoE switches give IT central control of VLANs and port power across buildings, with remote management so a small team runs the whole network.
Challenges
- Student, staff, and lab traffic must stay segmented
- Access points and cameras need power and data on one run
- A small IT team cannot walk every building to configure
- Unmanaged switches give no visibility into port health
Benefits
- Managed VLANs segmenting campus traffic
- PoE powers access points and cameras over one cable
- Central remote management of every switch
- Port-level visibility and control for a small team
Recommended Products
SWM280
Twelve of the SWM280’s 24 Gigabit ports deliver PoE+, so cameras and access points draw power from the switch itself. Four SFP slots take the uplinks, and L2+ routing with PROFINET and EtherNet/IP suits a plant network.
- L2+ - Advanced routing protocols & VLAN segmentation
Teltonika Networks
SWM281
The SWM281 gives all 24 Gigabit ports to data rather than power, with PROFINET Class B conformance for industrial control traffic. Four SFP slots take the uplinks and L2+ routing segments the network by VLAN.
- L2+ - Advanced routing protocols & VLAN segmentation

SWM282
Every one of the SWM282’s 24 Gigabit ports supplies PoE+, for sites where each drop has to power the device on the end of it. Four SFP uplink slots and L2+ routing with PROFINET and EtherNet/IP complete the switch.
