Overview
- The TP-Link SG3218XP-M2 is a Layer 2+ managed switch purpose-built for growing networks. With 16 ports of 2.5 Gbps connectivity and dual 10 Gbps SFP+ uplinks, it eliminates bottlenecks and delivers non-blocking switching capacity. Eight PoE+ ports deliver up to 240 W of power, making it ideal for powering multiple WiFi 7, 6E, and 6 access points from a single device.
Integration with the Omada SDN controller enables centralised management, Zero-Touch Provisioning, and real-time monitoring from anywhere. This reduces administrative overhead and accelerates network deployment.
Security is built in with IP-MAC-Port binding, access control lists, 802.1X authentication, DHCP snooping, and DoS protection. L2/L3/L4 QoS capabilities prioritise voice and video traffic, ensuring application performance across your network.
The SG3218XP-M2 is backed by a 5-year warranty, providing peace of mind for long-term investment.

FAQs
What is the difference between the PoE+ and Non-PoE ports?
The 8 PoE+ ports can deliver power and data to compatible devices like access points and IP cameras, up to the 240 W shared budget. The 8 Non-PoE ports provide standard 2.5 Gbps connectivity for devices that have their own power source.
Can this switch power WiFi 7 and WiFi 6E access points?
Yes. The 2.5 Gbps ports and 240 W PoE budget are designed to support modern high-power access points, including WiFi 7, WiFi 6E, and WiFi 6 models.
What is Zero-Touch Provisioning?
Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) allows the switch to automatically discover and connect to the Omada SDN Controller, significantly reducing setup time and manual configuration.
Do I need an Omada Controller to use this switch?
The switch can operate standalone with basic management. However, the Omada SDN Controller unlocks advanced features like centralised cloud management, monitoring, automation, and Zero-Touch Provisioning.
What is the switching capacity?
The SG3218XP-M2 features non-blocking switching capacity, meaning all ports can operate simultaneously at full speed without congestion or performance loss.
Is this switch suitable for small businesses?
Yes. The combination of 2.5 Gbps connectivity, PoE power delivery, advanced security, and centralised management makes it ideal for small to medium businesses deploying modern wireless and wired networks.
What security features are included?
The switch includes IP-MAC-Port binding, access control lists (ACL), port security, DoS protection, storm control, DHCP snooping, 802.1X authentication, and RADIUS support.
