Uniview NSW5660-28GP8XP-IN Layer 3 Aggregation Switch, 28 GE + 8x 10G

The Uniview NSW5660-28GP8XP-IN is a Layer 3 aggregation switch with 20 Gigabit SFP ports, 8 Gigabit combo ports and 8 10G SFP+ ports, rated at 216Gbps. It is designed for hospitals, campuses and compounds whose networks span several floors and buildings linked by fiber.

====

The Uniview NSW5660-28GP8XP-IN is a Layer 3 aggregation switch that collects fiber links from floor and building switches in one place and passes them on to the network core. It carries 20 Gigabit SFP ports, 8 Gigabit combo ports and 8 SFP+ ports at 10G, with 216Gbps of switching capacity and 160.7Mpps forwarding. This is the box for anyone running a spread-out network: a multi-building hospital, a university, a residential compound or a factory with separate halls.

Why an aggregation switch with fiber ports?

Large networks put an access switch on every floor or in every building, and each one needs a link back to a central point. That is the NSW5660-28GP8XP-IN's job: its 28 Gigabit ports terminate the fiber runs from the access switches, while the eight 10G ports carry the combined traffic to a core switch or server room. The combo ports add flexibility, since each can be used as copper RJ45 or as fiber SFP depending on the link.

Layer 3 routing and segmentation

The switch routes between networks on its own. For IPv4 it supports static routes, RIP v1/2, OSPF and IS-IS; for IPv6 it adds RIPng, OSPFv3, BGP4+ and ISISv6. In practice, cameras, staff and guests can each live in their own VLAN while inter-VLAN routing happens inside the switch rather than on the router. ACLs based on VLAN, MAC, IP and TCP/UDP port control who reaches what, and Guest VLAN, PVLAN, QinQ and VLAN mapping are supported.

Uptime: ERPS rings and VSM

Wire your buildings in a fiber ring and ERPS (G.8032) switches traffic the other way round when any link is cut, alongside STP, RSTP, MSTP, FRRP and FLRP. It also supports VSM virtualization for combining switches. Power, fan and temperature alarms are built in, and ULDP flags links that only work in one direction.

Where it fits in Saudi Arabia

• Multi-building hospitals: clinic, ward and emergency switches all meet in the main network room.
• Universities and large schools: every building on fiber, with separate VLANs for students and admin.
• Residential compounds in Riyadh: links from each block, the gates and the camera network.
• Factories and warehouses in Dammam and Jeddah industrial cities: camera streams distributed efficiently with IGMP snooping and PIM.

NSW5660-28GP8XP-IN or NSW6630-24XP2CQ-IN?

The NSW5660-28GP8XP-IN is an aggregation switch with mostly Gigabit ports plus eight 10G uplinks, rated at 216Gbps and 90W. The NSW6630-24XP2CQ-IN is a core switch with 24 10G SFP+ ports and two 100G QSFP28 ports, 880Gbps, dual hot-swap power supplies and VxLAN/EVPN support. Use this model to aggregate floor switches that uplink at 1G; put the NSW6630 at the center when many 10G links converge. In larger networks the two work together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the NSW5660-28GP8XP-IN support Layer 3 routing?

Yes. IPv4 static routing, RIP v1/2, OSPF and IS-IS, plus IPv6 static routing, RIPng, OSPFv3, BGP4+ and ISISv6.

Does it have copper RJ45 ports?

Its main ports are fiber, but the 8 Gigabit combo ports can run as copper or fiber depending on the link.

Does it support PoE?

No. It is an aggregation switch for linking other switches over fiber, and its specifications include no PoE. Use a PoE access switch on each floor for cameras.
