Amer SS3GR1026I Layer 3 Switch

The Amer SS3GR1026I is built for growing networks that demand high performance, dense port availability, and seamless installation. As a member of Amer Networks’ 1000 Series, this Layer 3 switch blends robust routing capabilities with a versatile port mix to deliver efficient inter-VLAN routing, scalable uplinks, and dependable traffic management. Whether you’re deploying a campus network, a data center edge, or a dense enterprise workspace, the SS3GR1026I provides the reliability and flexibility needed to handle today’s bandwidth-hungry applications, from high-definition video conferencing to cloud-based services and large-scale virtualization. Designed to simplify deployment, it supports straightforward rack integration and centralized management, enabling IT teams to rollout advanced networks quickly without compromising performance.

  • The SS3GR1026I offers 20 copper gigabit ports for immediate, cost-effective connectivity to workstations, printers, IP cameras, VoIP devices, and other edge devices, ensuring you can expand your network quickly without sacrificing performance. The copper ports deliver consistent, low-latency performance ideal for real-time applications, while maintaining compatibility with existing Ethernet deployments. This dense port configuration reduces the need for additional switches in mid-sized offices and branch locations, helping you minimize latency and maximize user productivity.
  • Complementing the copper ports, the switch includes 4 combo ports that support either SFP uplinks or copper connections. This flexibility lets you tailor uplink strategies to your environment—deploy SFP/SFP+ modules for fiber backplanes in campus networks or use copper for shorter, cost-effective links within data centers and racks. The combo ports simplify cabling by allowing mixed media in a single port footprint, so you can adapt quickly to evolving networking needs without swapping hardware.
  • Two expansion module slots are provided for 10G uplinks (XFP/SFP+), enabling scalable bandwidth as your network grows. With these slots, you can add high-speed uplinks to connect to aggregation switches, data center cores, or backbone networks, future-proofing your investment as your traffic patterns intensify. The 10G expansion capability means this switch remains relevant in environments that require rapid data transfer, large file transfers, and accelerated virtualization workloads.
  • Layer 3 capabilities are at the core of the SS3GR1026I, enabling efficient inter-subnet routing, dynamic routing protocols, and advanced traffic management. This means you can segment users and devices into multiple VLANs and route between them with minimal latency, reducing broadcast domains and improving application performance. In addition to basic routing, you can implement policy-based routing, access control lists, and quality of service (QoS) policies to guarantee crucial applications receive the bandwidth they need when it matters most.
  • Designed for enterprise environments, the SS3GR1026I emphasizes reliability, ease of installation, and straightforward management. Its modular design supports scalable networking, while the user-friendly management interface (accessible through a standard web GUI and CLI) makes configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting approachable for IT teams of varying sizes. This resilience and manageability translate into lower total cost of ownership and faster time-to-value when deploying complex, multi-site networks.

How to Install Amer SS3GR1026I

  • Plan your placement in a suitable network rack or cabinet, ensuring adequate ventilation and access to power and network cabling. Verify clearance for port access and potential expansion with the 10G uplink modules before mounting.
  • Mount the switch in a standard 19-inch rack and secure with appropriate hardware. Connect the device to your power source, making sure to use a clean, surge-protected power supply suitable for enterprise equipment.
  • Install any required 10G expansion modules into the two expansion slots, if you anticipate needing higher-bandwidth uplinks. Ensure module compatibility and seating are correct to avoid contact with neighboring components during operation.
  • Connect your copper devices to the 20 fixed 1G ports and attach uplinks to the 4 combo ports as your topology requires. If you’re extending to fiber, insert SFP/SFP+ modules into the combo ports or expansion slots as appropriate for your fiber backbone.
  • Access the management interface via the web GUI or through the CLI to perform initial configuration. Set up basic management, customize VLANs, configure inter-VLAN routing, and implement QoS policies for critical applications. Apply firmware updates if available to ensure security and performance optimizations are current.
  • Test connectivity across VLANs and verify routing paths. Validate uplinks to prevent bottlenecks, and monitor performance using built-in diagnostics and logging to ensure the switch is operating within expected parameters.
