Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q1: Is the SF300-24P a fully managed switch?
Yes, it offers full Layer 2 management with an intuitive web GUI, SNMP, CLI access, and support for VLANs, QoS, and access controls.

Q2: Can it power IP phones directly?
Yes, with its PoE support, it can power standard IEEE 802.3af-compatible devices such as IP phones and wireless APs.

Q3: What’s the difference between this model and the SF300-48P?
The SF300-24P has 24 PoE-capable ports while the SF300-48P offers 48. Both provide similar Layer 2 capabilities and uplink options.

Q4: Does it support fiber uplinks?
Yes, the switch includes 2 combo mini-GBIC ports, allowing fiber connectivity for backbone or long-distance links.

Q5: Is there fan noise in this unit?
The SF300-24P includes fan-based cooling. While it is generally quiet, environments requiring silent operation may want to consider fanless alternatives.
