All 24 copper ports run 1G\/2.5G and deliver Ultra60 PoE++ (802.3bt) up to 60W each, backed by a substantial 720W total PoE budget. Layer 2+\/Lite L3 management, IPv6 support, ACLs, and optional NETGEAR Insight cloud control make it a rack-mount aggregation switch for powering and managing large fleets of access points, cameras, and endpoints. Four 10G SFP+ ports provide fiber uplinks to the network core.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MS324TXUP is designed for installations where you need to power and manage many PoE devices from one rack unit. Its 24 multi-gig copper ports auto-negotiate 100M\/1G\/2.5G over existing Cat5e, and every port supports Ultra60 PoE++ at up to 60W, with a 720W budget that can power a full room of WiFi 6\/6E access points, PTZ cameras, and VoIP endpoints. Four dedicated 10G SFP+ ports aggregate traffic to the core over fiber or copper modules, and the non-blocking 200Gbps fabric forwards traffic at wire speed across the switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the management side, the MS324TXUP delivers Layer 2+\/Lite L3 features including advanced VLANs, L2\/L3\/L4 ACLs with 802.1x authentication, IGMP snooping and querier, IPv4\/IPv6 static routing, DHCP server\/relay\/snooping, and SNMP v1\/v2c\/v3 with RMON. Advanced per-port PoE controls, uninterrupted PoE, PoE self-healing, and PoE scheduling give precise control over connected devices. Optional NETGEAR Insight remote cloud management handles multi-site monitoring, configuration, and firmware updates from a mobile app or web portal. Temperature- and load-based fans keep it to 38 dBA at full load.
