TP-Link Omada S7500-48XF4C Managed L3 Stackable Aggregation Switch with 48 10G Ports

The TP-Link Omada S7500-48XF4C is a high-performance L3 managed stackable aggregation switch designed to meet the rigorous demands of enterprise-grade network infrastructures. Featuring 48 10G SFP+ ports and 4 100G QSFP28 uplink ports, this device provides massive throughput and low-latency connectivity for data centers, campus networks, and ISP environments. With a switching capacity of 1760 Gbit/s and a robust 128,000 MAC address table, it ensures efficient traffic handling and scalability for large-scale deployments.

Advantages

This switch offers exceptional flexibility through its physical stacking capability, allowing up to 12 units to be managed as a single entity for increased port density and redundancy. The inclusion of advanced Layer 3 routing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, and IS-IS enables dynamic path selection and network stability in complex topologies. Furthermore, the device is built for high availability, featuring dual field-replaceable power supplies and sub-second failure detection via BFD. Security is prioritized through features like Secure Boot, RADSEC, and 802.1X authentication, ensuring that the network remains protected against unauthorized access and malicious threats. The integration with the Omada Pro SDN platform simplifies management, offering centralized cloud control, Zero-Touch Provisioning, and intelligent anomaly detection.

Suitable for

• Data center aggregation and core switching
• Large-scale enterprise campus networks
• ISP and service provider infrastructure
• High-density server connectivity

When it may not be suitable

This switch is designed for professional enterprise and data center environments and may be overkill for small office or home network setups. Its advanced L3 routing and high-speed 100G uplink requirements necessitate specialized networking knowledge and infrastructure that typical small business hardware does not provide.

Key specifications

• 48x 10 Gbps SFP+ ports and 4x 100 Gbps QSFP28 ports
• Switching capacity: 1760 Gbit/s
• MAC address table: 128,000 entries
• Physical stacking support for up to 12 units
• Dual field-replaceable power supplies
• Layer 3 routing protocols: OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, VRRP, PIM, ECMP, PBR
• Management: Omada Pro cloud, Web GUI, CLI, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, NETCONF
• Rack-mountable design

How to use

The S7500-48XF4C is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting. After physical installation, connect the device to your power source using the provided AC power supplies. Initial configuration can be performed via the RJ-45 console port using a CLI or through the web-based management interface. For centralized control, adopt the switch into your Omada Pro SDN controller environment. Ensure that all fiber connections use compatible SFP+/QSFP28 modules and that the firmware is updated to the latest version to utilize hot-patching capabilities.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your existing infrastructure supports 10G SFP+ or 100G QSFP28 connectivity
• Verify rack space availability for the unit
• Assess whether your network requires L3 routing features or if a simpler L2 switch would suffice
• Confirm compatibility with your current Omada Pro management ecosystem

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and network reliability, it is recommended to utilize the physical stacking feature in a ring or chain topology to ensure redundancy. Regularly monitor the system via the Omada Pro dashboard to leverage intelligent anomaly detection and maintain firmware integrity through the hot-patching feature to avoid unnecessary downtime.
