The ENTERASYS C2G170-24 P0973BL is a fully managed, 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch with robust Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capabilities, manufactured by Enterasys Networks (now part of Extreme Networks). This switch is specifically engineered to power and connect a wide range of IP devices directly over the network cable, simplifying deployments and reducing costs.
In a modern office building deploying a complete VoIP phone system and high-density wireless coverage, the ENTERASYS C2G170-24 P0973BL is installed in each floor's wiring closet. It provides both data connectivity and power to every IP phone and wireless access point through a single Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate electrical outlets and power adapters near each device, resulting in a cleaner, more flexible, and cost-effective infrastructure that is easy to manage and scale.

· •Innovation Point 1: Robust Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) Capability. The C2G170-24 P0973BL provides substantial power per port, compliant with the IEEE 802.3at standard. This allows it to support a wider range of power-hungry devices like PTZ cameras, advanced wireless access points, and digital signage, beyond what standard PoE can offer.
· •Innovation Point 2: Intelligent PoE Management. The switch includes advanced features for power management, such as the ability to remotely cycle power to a connected device (remote reboot), set power priority per port to ensure critical devices remain powered, and monitor power consumption in real-time. This provides unparalleled control and simplifies troubleshooting.
· •Innovation Point 3: Flexible Uplink Strategy with Combo Ports. The switch features combo ports (RJ-45/SFP), offering ultimate flexibility for uplink connections. Network administrators can choose between copper for short distances or SFP fiber modules for longer, noise-immune backbone links, all within the same hardware configuration.
A large school district deployed the ENTERASYS C2G170-24 P0973BL switches in every classroom to support a new digital learning initiative involving VoIP phones for teachers and multiple wireless access points per room for student tablets. The switches' high PoE budget effortlessly powered all devices. The QoS features ensured video streams for lessons were prioritized, and the PoE management capability allowed IT staff to remotely reboot any malfunctioning access point without visiting the classroom, drastically reducing support tickets and operational costs.
· •Enterasys C2G124-48P: A higher-port-density PoE+ switch for larger deployments, working in tandem with the C2G170-24.
· •Enterasys A4H254-8F8T: A Layer 3 aggregation switch that can act as a distribution/core node, with the C2G170-24 connecting to it via fiber uplinks.
· •Enterasys W-Series Wireless Access Points: Ideal powered devices (PDs) that are perfectly matched to be powered and managed by the C2G170-24 P0973BL.
· •Enterasys SSAv2 Security Applications: Software that enhances network security, working in concert with the policy capabilities of the C2G170-24.
· •ExtremeXOS® Operating System: The robust, single-image network operating system that powers the switch, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
Installation of the ENTERASYS C2G170-24 P0973BL involves standard 1U rack mounting. The connection is straightforward: devices are plugged into the RJ-45 ports with standard Ethernet cables.
