Managed Network Switch Asus RG-NBS3300-8MG2XS-P — 10 ports: 8×2.5GE PoE+ (240W), 2×SFP+, Rack, L2+

The Asus RG-NBS3300-8MG2XS-P is a managed network switch with ten ports: eight 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports that provide PoE+ and two SFP+ uplink ports. Built for rack mounting and offering an L2+ feature set, this switch supports centralized cloud management and is intended for deployment in small to medium enterprise networks, access aggregation points, and environments that require reliable PoE power distribution for devices such as access points and IP cameras.

Advantages

This managed switch combines multi-gigabit 2.5GE access ports with high-capacity SFP+ uplinks, enabling higher throughput and flexible uplink options without requiring external converters. With PoE+ on all eight access ports and a total PoE budget of 240W, it allows simultaneous powering of a range of powered devices. Rack form factor and L2+ features provide industry-standard deployment flexibility and advanced switching functions such as VLANs, QoS and basic routing capabilities. Centralized cloud management support simplifies configuration, monitoring and firmware updates across multiple devices.

Suitable for

• Small and medium enterprise access layer with multi-gigabit requirements
• Powering and connecting wireless access points and VoIP phones via PoE+
• Aggregation switch for uplinks to core switches or servers using SFP+
• Surveillance systems with multiple PoE cameras

Key specifications

• 10 ports total: 8 × 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet with PoE+ and 2 × SFP+ uplinks
• PoE power budget: 240 W total across PoE ports
• Form factor: rack-mountable chassis suitable for standard server racks
• Switching level: L2+ with support for VLANs, QoS and access control features
• Management: centralized cloud management and local management interfaces

How to use

Install the switch into a standard rack using the supplied mounting brackets and connect power to an appropriate AC source. Connect network devices to the 2.5GE PoE+ ports to supply both data and power; use the SFP+ uplinks for high-speed connections to aggregation or core switches. Access the management interface locally through the web GUI or command-line interface, or register the device with the vendor's cloud management platform to perform centralized configuration, monitor port status, set VLANs, and apply QoS policies. Follow vendor guidance for firmware updates and backup of configuration settings.

Usage recommendations

Distribute PoE load across ports to avoid exceeding the 240 W budget and prioritize critical devices with PoE allocation policies. Use SFP+ uplinks for backbone connectivity where higher throughput is required. Configure VLAN segmentation and QoS to separate traffic types (for example, surveillance, voice and data) and ensure predictable network performance. Schedule firmware updates during maintenance windows and monitor port and power usage via the cloud management dashboard.
