EnGenius has expanded its cloud-managed networking portfolio with a new range of Layer 3 switches designed to help enterprises, SMBs, managed service providers (MSPs), and system integrators build scalable, resilient, and high-performance network infrastructures.
The new portfolio introduces three cloud-managed Layer 3 switch models—the ECS8830F, ECS8854F, and ECS6824F—offering high-density 10G aggregation, 100G backbone connectivity, advanced Layer 3 routing, and centralized cloud management with local administration capabilities.
The new switches extend the EnGenius Cloud platform beyond network access to core and aggregation layers, providing organizations with greater visibility, flexibility, and operational efficiency.
Enterprise Core and Aggregation Switching
The ECS8830F and ECS8854F are designed for enterprise core and aggregation environments that demand high throughput, advanced routing, and continuous availability.
The ECS8830F features:
- 24 × 10G SFP+ ports
- 6 × 100G QSFP28 uplinks
- Up to 1.68 Tbps switching capacity
- Up to 600 Mpps forwarding performance
The ECS8854F scales network capacity further with:
- 48 × 10G SFP+ ports
- 6 × 100G QSFP28 uplinks
- Up to 2.16 Tbps switching capacity
- Up to 600 Mpps forwarding performance
Both switches support wire-speed forwarding and are designed to accommodate bandwidth-intensive enterprise applications such as Wi-Fi 7, video analytics, virtualization, edge computing, and distributed services.
Advanced Layer 3 Routing and High Availability
The enterprise models include comprehensive Layer 3 routing and virtualization capabilities, including:
- OSPFv2/v3
- BGP/BGP4+
- IS-IS
- ECMP
- VRRP
- Policy-Based Routing (PBR)
- BFD
- VXLAN EVPN
These features enable scalable routing, secure network segmentation, multi-site connectivity, and interoperability with existing enterprise infrastructure.
To improve network resilience, both switches support:
- MC-LAG
- VSF (Virtual Switching Framework)
- 1+1 redundant hot-swappable power supplies
- 3+1 redundant hot-swappable fan modules
This redundancy minimizes downtime, eliminates single points of failure, and simplifies maintenance in mission-critical deployments.
Cloud Visibility with Local Control
The new switch family supports a hybrid management model that combines centralized cloud monitoring with traditional local administration.
IT teams can monitor network health through EnGenius Cloud while maintaining local access using:
- Web UI
- CLI
- SNMP
- NETCONF
- Syslog
This approach provides centralized visibility without sacrificing operational flexibility.
ECS6824F Targets SMB and MSP Networks
For growing small and medium-sized businesses, branch offices, and managed service providers, EnGenius introduced the ECS6824F, a compact Layer 3 fiber switch designed to deliver enterprise-grade capabilities at a smaller scale.
The switch includes:
- 24 × 10G SFP+ ports
- 480 Gbps switching capacity
- Static Routing
- RIP
- OSPFv2/v3
These capabilities help organizations segment applications, departments, surveillance systems, guest networks, and server infrastructure more efficiently.
The ECS6824F also supports multicast optimization through IGMP and MLD, making it suitable for IPTV and IP surveillance deployments.
Security features include:
- 802.1X authentication
- Access Control Lists (ACLs)
- DHCP Snooping
- IP Source Guard
- ARP protection
- Port Security
- Storm Control
- DoS protection
Dual internal power supplies provide additional hardware resilience, while EnGenius Cloud enables centralized monitoring and management.
Executive Perspective
Roger Liu, CEO of EnGenius, said:
“This launch represents a significant expansion of the EnGenius networking portfolio and marks an important step in extending our cloud-managed platform from access to core. As enterprise networks continue to evolve, organizations need switching solutions that deliver greater scalability, resiliency, and operational simplicity. With this new series, we are providing a stronger foundation to support modern enterprise and managed network deployments.”
Supporting Modern Network Growth
The expanded Layer 3 switching portfolio enables organizations to deploy cloud-managed networking from the access layer through the network core while maintaining local operational control.
Designed for enterprises, value-added resellers (VARs), system integrators, and MSPs, the new switches support growing infrastructure demands with scalable routing, high-speed backbone connectivity, resilient hardware, and centralized cloud visibility.
EnGenius Technologies develops cloud-managed networking solutions for enterprise, education, healthcare, retail, logistics, and other industries. Its portfolio includes wireless access points, switches, VPN firewalls, AI cameras, network video systems, and power distribution solutions designed to simplify deployment and management while delivering secure, scalable network infrastructure.
