Managed L3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch HPE R8Q71A 36 Ports PoE
The HPE R8Q71A Managed L3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch is a high-density network device designed for enterprise environments that require centralized control, Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities and Layer 3 routing features. With 36 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports that support PoE standards and an aggregate switching capacity of 272 Gbit/s, the unit delivers the throughput and port density suitable for access-layer and distribution-layer deployments in offices, schools, retail sites and branch locations.
This managed switch provides Layer 3 functionality for inter-VLAN routing and advanced traffic management while maintaining full Gigabit performance on each RJ-45 port. Native support for IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt PoE standards enables powering of IP phones, wireless access points and other PoE devices without separate power supplies. A 272 Gbit/s switching capacity and 36-port count offer a balance of high port density and switching performance for consolidated cabling and simplified network design.
Install the switch in a standard 19-inch rack or on a suitable shelf following site planning for airflow and cable management. Connect uplink ports to the core or aggregation layer and connect access devices to the Gigabit RJ-45 ports. Configure Layer 3 interfaces, VLANs and PoE settings through the switch management interface (CLI, web GUI or management platform) according to network addressing and power budget requirements. Monitor port status and PoE consumption to ensure reliable power delivery to connected devices.
Place the switch in a temperature-controlled equipment room and verify PoE power budget before connecting many high-power devices. Use network segmentation via VLANs and Layer 3 routing to separate traffic types and apply access control and QoS policies for voice and wireless services.
