The E486 delivers PoE+ (802.3at) from a 460W budget across 48 Gigabit ports, with 6 × 10G SFP+ uplinks and static routing for IPv4 and IPv6.
Lotus Alpha access points run on PoE/PoE+, so the E486 can power them and route their client VLANs from one switch. Six 10G SFP+ uplinks carry the combined wireless traffic.
IP phones can be powered and placed on a voice VLAN with QoS priority. Plan phone and camera loads against the shared 460W budget.
Sites that must carry IPv6 alongside IPv4 can route both at the access layer. 802.1X and ARP inspection keep control at each port.
Choosing between models? Without PoE, the NetForce L3-D486 offers the same 48 Gigabit plus 6 × 10G SFP+ layout and adds ERPS ring support. For a few powered devices at the edge, the NetForce L2 E822 gives 8 PoE+ ports and 2 SFP uplinks.
