The ICX8100-48, a part of the RUCKUS ICX 8100 series, is a 48-port 1G enterprise-class access switch designed to deliver high-performance connectivity with simplicity and flexibility. This model is purpose-built to support demanding wired access deployments, providing silent operation and a range of advanced features without unnecessary complexity or cost.
The ICX8100-48 is designed to provide enterprise-class connectivity for organizations of all sizes. From hospitality and education to multi-dwelling units, this model delivers the reliability and scalability necessary to meet modern connectivity needs—without paying for features that aren’t required.
Offering unparalleled flexibility, the ICX8100-48 supports on-premises controllers, AI-driven cloud-based management, CLI, and an intuitive web-based interface. This adaptability enables IT teams to select the management method that aligns with their operational preferences and staffing resources.
Equipped with 48 fixed 1 GbE access ports and up to four 10GbE SFP+ uplink ports, the ICX8100-48 delivers high-bandwidth connectivity to aggregation or core switches. This combination supports growth and evolving traffic requirements while preserving investment protection.
The ICX 8100 family includes a broad range of models to suit various deployment needs. Variants include non-PoE fanless designs like the ICX8100-48, PoE+ models supporting up to 740W power budgets (ICX8100-48P/48PF), and compact fanless PoE+ models for space-constrained environments. Each model supports quiet operation, making them ideal for office spaces and classrooms.
The ICX8100-48 offers a switching capacity of up to 176 Gbps and a forwarding rate of up to 132 Mpps. With support for 32K MAC addresses, 4,095 VLANs, and jumbo frames up to 9,216 bytes, it is capable of handling dense client environments and high-throughput applications without bottlenecks.
Security features include 802.1X port-based authentication, MAC-based authentication, dynamic ARP inspection, DHCP snooping, and support for RADIUS and TACACS+ servers. Encrypted management protocols like SSHv2 and SCP ensure secure device access and configuration, protecting critical infrastructure from threats.
The ICX8100-48 supports robust Layer 2 features such as advanced spanning tree protocols (RSTP, MSTP), VLAN segmentation, IGMP and MLD snooping for multicast optimization, link aggregation (LACP), loop detection, and private VLANs. It is focused exclusively on Layer 2 access switching without Layer 3 routing, simplifying deployment and reducing operational costs.
Targeted at organizations seeking a balance between advanced performance and operational simplicity, the ICX8100-48 provides enterprise-class features at an affordable price point. It is designed to accommodate future growth and evolving network demands without overcomplicating network design or exceeding budgets.
Fully compliant with key industry standards, including IEEE 802.3af/at (PoE for other variants), 802.1Q (VLAN), 802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet), and more. This ensures seamless integration with existing network infrastructure and supports long-term interoperability and efficiency.
