TP-Link SG6654X – Professional-Grade L3 Aggregation Switch with 48 GE Ports and 6× 10G SFP+ Slots

The TP-Link SG6654X is designed for modern, scalable, and highly available networks where reliability and performance are critical. It combines Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, offering an extensive set of management functions, full L3 routing, physical stacking, and seamless integration with the Omada SDN platform. This makes it an excellent foundation for infrastructures in enterprises, data centers, and ISP networks.

With 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 6× 10G SFP+ slots, the SG6654X is a flexible tool for building both high-speed core backbones and complex distribution layers. The switch delivers an impressive switching capacity of 216 Gbps per unit, along with high packet-forwarding performance. Physical stacking of up to 8 units enables treating all devices as a single logical switch, simplifying administration and improving infrastructure reliability.

Advanced Hardware Architecture and Reliable Operation

The TP-Link SG6654X features two integrated redundant power supplies that ensure operational stability and eliminate downtime caused by a single power source failure. Four high-performance fans ensure proper cooling and long device life, while the compact 1U enclosure fits conveniently into 19” rack cabinets.

The model also supports RPS (Redundant Power Supply) units, providing an additional safeguard against unexpected outages. As a result, the SG6654X is well-suited for environments requiring continuous 24/7 operation.

Performance and Speed to Meet Growing Demands

The switch is built to handle increasing network requirements. By combining 10G uplinks and stacking, it supports topologies with very high throughput capable of running multiple services simultaneously—from data transmission to IP CCTV and advanced VoIP systems.

• 48× RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet — ideal for connecting large numbers of endpoints

• 6× 10G SFP+ — high-speed uplinks and backbone links

• 9 KB Jumbo Frames — improved efficiency for large data transfers

• 32K MAC Address Table — suitable for large-scale deployments

With its flexibility and bandwidth, the switch can simultaneously serve as an access, distribution, and aggregation device.

Comprehensive Layer 3 Feature Set

The SG6654X is not just a switch but a powerful routing device. It supports a wide range of protocols for building scalable, multi-layer networks.

Supported L3 functions include:

• Static Routing for IPv4 and IPv6

• Dynamic Routing Protocols: RIP, OSPF v2/v3, ECMP, VRRP

• Large routing tables — thousands of entries for complex environments

• DHCP Server and DHCP Relay

• Multicast Routing: PIM-DM, PIM-SM

This makes the SG6654X suitable for modern enterprise networks that require routing tasks to be offloaded from edge routers to the distribution layer.

High Availability and Fast Recovery

The device includes mechanisms designed to keep networks running with minimal downtime:

• VRRP — redundant default gateways

• ERPS — rapid recovery in Ethernet ring topologies

• Physical stacking — automatic failover and unified configuration

These features enable the SG6654X to operate as the central element of a network, maintaining service continuity even if a single device fails.

Advanced Network Security Features

Security is critical for modern administrators. The SG6654X offers multi-layer protection to minimize risks of attacks and misuse:

• Advanced IPv4/IPv6 ACLs

• Dynamic ARP Inspection

• 802.1X with MAB and VLAN assignment

• Port Security with MAC address limits

• DoS protection

• IP-MAC-Port Binding, DHCP Snooping, ND Snooping

• Secure management protocols: SSH and HTTPS

This makes the switch suitable not only for businesses but also for ISPs and public institutions with strict security requirements.

Omada SDN – Centralized Automation and Management

Integrating the SG6654X with the Omada SDN ecosystem enables remote management via:

• hardware controllers

• cloud controllers

• software controllers

Administrators gain access to:

• Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)

• mass updates and configuration deployment

• traffic analytics and network monitoring

• centralized reporting

• intelligent alerts

For local management, the switch offers:

• Web GUI

• CLI via console port, Telnet, or SSH

• SNMP v1/v2c/v3 and RMON support

It is designed to provide full control and automation regardless of network size.

Product Applications

The SG6654X is well-suited for:

• enterprise networks as a distribution-layer switch

• high-throughput backbone networks

• ISP operator environments

• organizations using the Omada SDN ecosystem

• large companies requiring redundancy, stability, and advanced routing features
