NetForce covers the whole wired estate (managed Layer 3 for the core and distribution, managed Layer 2 for the access layer, and plug-and-play PoE at the edge), all from one Indian OEM and one management console.
A switch is the part of the network nobody notices until it fails. NetForce is designed alongside our NetWave access points and NetGuard controllers, so PoE budgets, VLAN separation and management are planned as one system rather than assembled from three vendors’ catalogues. Supported in India by the OEM, with per-model certification status available in writing.
Wire-speed inter-VLAN routing, static and dynamic routing and high-availability designs for campus cores, hospital backbones and industrial rings.
VLANs, QoS and 802.1X access control with PoE/PoE+ budgets for access points, cameras and desks, centrally managed with NetCloud Central.
Zero-configuration PoE switches for CCTV and IP-camera runs, kiosks, small offices and edge drops where simplicity and uptime matter most.
The role in the network decides the family. The port count and PoE budget decide the model.
| Capability | L3 managed | L2 managed | Unmanaged |
|---|---|---|---|
| Network role | Core / distribution | Access layer | Edge / device drops |
| Inter-VLAN routing | Yes, at wire speed | No (switching only) | No |
| VLANs, QoS, 802.1X | Yes | Yes | No |
| PoE options | Model dependent | PoE / PoE+ models | PoE for cameras & APs |
| NetCloud Central | Yes | Yes | No |
| Typical deployments | Campus cores, hospital backbones, industrial rings | AP and desktop ports, hotel floors, classrooms | CCTV runs, kiosks, small offices |
NetForce powers and connects the rest of the stack. The pieces are designed together, so the VLAN plan, PoE budget and monitoring are one design, not three.
Lotus Alpha access points, indoor and outdoor, powered over PoE from NetForce access switches.
NetWave access points →Gateway security, captive portal and policy applied between the VLANs NetForce carries.
NetGuard controllers →Managed L2 and L3 models join the APs and gateways in one console: monitoring, alerts and configuration.
NetCloud Central →The switch stays the same. The VLAN plan, PoE budget and uplink design change with the building.
L3 cores with L2 access for classrooms, hostels and labs across a multi-building estate.
Campus networks →Segmented VLANs for medical devices, guest Wi-Fi and CCTV, ward by ward.
Hospital networks →Per-floor L2 PoE feeding NetWave APs, with guest traffic isolated from PMS and POS.
Hotel networks →Passenger, operational and tenant domains kept apart in switching hardware.
Airport networks →Collapsed-core designs for single sites; three-tier for multi-building headquarters.
Switching & routing design →Unmanaged PoE for camera strings and kiosks, with managed uplinks where audits demand visibility.
PoE at the edge →Port counts, PoE budgets and certification status are confirmed per model, in writing, before you commit to a bill of materials.
Start with L2 vs L3 switching explained, then how to choose an enterprise switch. Planning cabling? Read fibre vs copper. Designing for uptime? See redundancy and high availability. Buying through government channels? Our GeM guide walks through the paperwork.
Certifications →An L2 switch forwards traffic within a network using MAC addresses and VLANs. An L3 switch adds routing, moving traffic between VLANs and subnets at wire speed, which is the job of a campus core or distribution layer. Full explainer: L2 vs L3 switching.
When you need reliable plug-and-play connectivity without VLANs or remote management: CCTV runs, kiosks, small offices. Anything needing segmentation, QoS or monitoring should use a managed model.
NetForce is Immunity’s own switching range, from a Make-in-India OEM with engineering and support in India. Ask us for current certification and local-content status per model, in writing, for any tender requirement.
Managed L2 and L3 models integrate with NetCloud Central for monitoring, alerting and configuration alongside your access points and gateways.
Yes. As a Make-in-India OEM our equipment suits Class-I local content preferences. Contact us for GeM listings and tender documentation.
