RUCKUS ICX 7550-24ZP: Advanced Multigigabit Stackable Switch for Next-Generation Networks

The RUCKUS ICX 7550-24ZP is a high-performance, enterprise-class stackable switch designed to meet the demands of modern Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 deployments. It combines high-density multigigabit connectivity with advanced Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, making it an ideal solution for access and aggregation layers in mid-to-large-scale enterprise networks. With support for up to 90W per port PoE, 100GbE uplinks, and flexible stacking options, the ICX 7550-24ZP delivers chassis-like performance with the simplicity and scalability of a stackable switch.

Key Features

• 24 Multigigabit Ethernet ports (12x 2.5G, 12x 2.5/5/10G) with 802.3bt PoE++
• Up to 90W per port PoE with 1900W total PoE budget
• Dual 40/100GbE QSFP28 uplink/stacking ports
• Support for advanced Layer 3 routing (BGP, OSPF, VRF)
• MACsec encryption for enhanced security
• Perpetual and Fast Boot PoE for uninterrupted power delivery

Technology

The ICX 7550-24ZP leverages cutting-edge technologies including IEEE 802.3bt PoE, MACsec 256-bit encryption, and advanced stacking capabilities with up to 12 switches per stack. It supports OpenFlow 1.3 for SDN integration and offers comprehensive Layer 3 routing protocols including OSPF, BGP, and VRF.

How It Works

The switch operates as a standalone or stacked unit, providing high-speed connectivity and power to connected devices. It uses hardware-based forwarding engines to ensure low latency and high throughput. PoE ports deliver power even during switch reboots, ensuring continuous operation for critical devices like APs and IoT endpoints.
