RUCKUS ICX7550-24P-E2-R3 Stackable Switch
1. Product Overview
The RUCKUS ICX7550-24P-E2-R3 is a mid-range enterprise-class stackable switch designed for high-performance access and aggregation layers. It features 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support, delivering up to 30W per port and a total PoE budget of 1900W. With dual 40G QSFP+ uplink ports, advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities, and support for perpetual PoE, this switch is ideal for modern Wi-Fi 6/7 deployments, IoT networks, and smart building infrastructure.

- OpenFlow 1.3 for SDN Support
- LLDP, QoS, VRF, VXLAN
4. How It Works
The RUCKUS ICX 7550 operates as a stackable switch, allowing multiple units to function as a single logical device. It uses hitless failover and in-service software upgrades (ISSU) to maintain uptime. PoE devices remain powered during reboots thanks to perpetual PoE technology. The switch supports advanced traffic management, ACLs, and dynamic routing protocols to optimize network performance.
5. Applications
- Enterprise Wi-Fi 6/7 Access Point connectivity
- IoT and smart building deployments
- VoIP and video surveillance systems
- Campus and branch network aggregation
- Data center edge connectivity
