Managed L2/L3 Switch Lancom Systems LANCOM XS-6128QF — 10G support, USB 2.0, MAC table 32k, 1U rack-mount

The LANCOM XS-6128QF is a managed L2/L3 1U rack-mount switch designed for enterprise and data-centre environments. It provides 10G connectivity across multiple SFP+ ports, four multi‑Gigabit combo ports, FleX uplink options with high uplink capacity and stacking capabilities. The switch supports extensive IEEE switching and Ethernet standards including VLAN, STP, QoS, Link Aggregation and 802.1X, and offers a MAC address table of 32,000 entries. Built with redundant power and hot‑swappable fans, it is intended for use as an access or aggregation switch in high‑throughput and segmented VLAN networks and can be managed via LANCOM Management Cloud, Web GUI or CLI.

Advantages

The LANCOM XS-6128QF combines high port density and flexible uplink options to deliver multi‑gigabit performance with non‑blocking backplane capacity. Native SFP+/SFP28 FleX ports and standard industry interfaces eliminate the need for proprietary modules and reduce total cost of ownership. Hardware features such as redundant hot‑swappable power supplies, swappable fan modules and backplane stacking provide operational resilience and facilitate rapid serviceability. Comprehensive support for IEEE standards, access control and layer‑3 routing functions enable secure segmentation and dynamic routing within complex network topologies.

Suitable for

• Aggregation layer in enterprise campus networks (2‑tier and 3‑tier designs)
• High‑throughput distribution for access switches in data centres and large offices
• VLAN segmentation, secure port access and network segmentation
• Virtualized environments and cloud‑centric deployments requiring high backhaul bandwidth

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U rack‑mount
• Port configuration: 20 SFP+ (10G) plus 4 multi‑Gigabit combo ports
• Uplink/FleX capacity: support for 25G/40G uplinks and stacking up to 400G backplane
• Stacking: dedicated SFP‑DD FleX ports for non‑blocking stacking
• Layer support: Managed L2/L3 switching with DHCP server and dynamic routing

• Cooling and power: front‑to‑back airflow, hot‑swappable fan modules, support for dual hot‑swappable PSUs
• Weight and colour: approximately 6 kg, black

How to use

Mount the switch in a standard 19‑inch rack using the 1U form factor and connect SFP+/SFP28 modules or compatible fiber/copper media to the required ports. Configure basic management and network settings through the Web‑GUI or CLI, or adopt the LANCOM Management Cloud (SD‑LAN) for centralized provisioning and automated configuration across multiple sites. Use stacking to combine multiple physical units into a single logical device for unified management; when a new unit joins the stack it can automatically receive the stack master’s configuration. Enable IEEE 802.1X or ACLs on access ports to enforce secure admission control and configure VLANs, QoS and link aggregation according to traffic and segmentation requirements.

Usage recommendations

Use industry‑standard SFP/SFP+ modules to maintain flexibility and avoid proprietary cabling. Plan redundancy by installing dual PSUs and enabling stacking for automatic failover. For environments with high east‑west traffic or virtualized workloads, allocate uplink bandwidth using FleX ports at 25G/40G and enable QoS and dynamic routing to optimise traffic flows.
