TP-Link Omada 24-Port Gigabit Easy Managed Switch

TP-Link Omada 24-Port Gigabit Easy Managed Switch (ES224G) - 5 Years Local Warranty

The ES224G is the 24-port member of Omada's Easy Managed switch line, sitting between unmanaged switches and the fully managed Pro range. It gives 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports a 48 Gbps switching fabric with a 35.7 Mpps forwarding rate, and adds VLANs, QoS, IGMP snooping and cable diagnostics on top of plug-and-play operation - configurable through a web GUI or adopted into an Omada Controller.

48 Gbps Of Non-Blocking Gigabit Capacity Across 24 Ports

Every one of the 24 RJ45 ports runs at 10/100/1000 Mbps with auto-negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX, so the switch adapts to whatever it is patched into without crossover cables or manual speed settings. The 48 Gbps switching capacity is exactly twice the aggregate port bandwidth, meaning all 24 ports can transmit and receive at full Gigabit line rate simultaneously without contention in the fabric. A 35.7 Mpps packet forwarding rate sustains that even with small frames, and a 4 Mbit packet buffer with 8K MAC address entries absorbs bursts across a busy access layer.

Plug And Play First, Configuration Only When You Need It

Out of the box the ES224G forwards traffic the moment it is powered and patched - no console, no IP address, no setup wizard. When you do want more, a web GUI exposes the Easy Managed feature set, and the switch acts as a DHCP client so it picks up a management address automatically. That split matters for installers: a technician can rack and cable the switch in minutes, then a network administrator can log in later to add VLANs or rate limits without ever revisiting the site or disrupting the traffic already flowing.

Segment The Network With 802.1Q, Port-Based And MTU VLANs

Three VLAN modes cover most small-network segmentation jobs. 802.1Q tag VLAN supports up to 32 groups drawn from the full 4K VID range, letting you trunk tagged traffic to a router or upstream managed switch. Port-based VLAN gives a simpler untagged split when no tagging is required, and MTU VLAN isolates each port from its neighbours while keeping them all connected to a single uplink. Port isolation adds a further layer for surveillance or guest deployments where cameras and endpoints should reach the uplink but never each other.

Eight Priority Queues Keep Voice And Video Ahead Of Bulk Traffic

QoS can be driven from three sources - the physical port, the 802.1p CoS bits in a VLAN tag, or the DSCP field in the IP header - and maps traffic into eight priority queues serviced by weighted round robin. WRR means lower-priority traffic still gets a share of the link rather than being starved outright. Alongside this, bandwidth rate limiting caps what any single port can consume, and storm control clamps broadcast, multicast and unknown-unicast floods before they saturate the fabric and disrupt latency-sensitive traffic.

Loop Prevention And IGMP Snooping Protect Against Self-Inflicted Outages

Loopback detection continuously watches for a cable patched back into the same switch or a bridged pair of ports, and shuts the offending link before the resulting broadcast storm takes the whole segment down - the single most common cause of small-network failure. IGMP snooping for v1, v2 and v3 handles the other half of the problem, learning which ports have actually joined a multicast group so IP camera and streaming traffic is forwarded only where it was requested instead of flooded to every port. Fast Leave prunes a stream immediately when a receiver departs.

Fanless Metal Rack Chassis Built For Hot, Noise-Sensitive Sites

The ES224G runs entirely without a fan, so there is no acoustic noise, no dust ingress path and no moving part to fail - it is rated for ambient temperatures from -5 to 50 degrees Celsius and draws only 11.4 W at maximum load on 110 V. The 294 x 140 x 44 mm metal enclosure weighs 1.26 kg and mounts either on a desk or in a standard 19-inch rack. Its built-in 100-240 V supply removes the external brick, and +/-6 kV surge protection on the ports guards against lightning-induced transients on long copper runs.

Ideal For

Singapore businesses, schools, hotels and managed-service providers building on Omada, and IT teams that want a switch they can adopt, monitor and update centrally rather than box by box. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and project pricing on request.
