Ericsson Ers 2460 Datasheet May 2026
The ERS 2460 typically offers more Gigabit Ethernet ports and enhanced PoE (Power over Ethernet) capabilities compared to the 2450. While the 2450 is a Fast Ethernet hard switch, the 2460 provides Gigabit uplinks and improved switching capacity.
Ericsson has shifted focus to 5G and core routing. The ERS 2400 series may be end-of-sale or end-of-life in some regions. Check with Ericsson or authorized partners (e.g., Westcon, TD Synnex) for:
Below is the core technical data that you would typically find on the official Ericsson ERS 2460 datasheet. ericsson ers 2460 datasheet
Although not a high-speed stack like a backplane stack, the ERS 2460 supports traditional cascade stacking using standard Ethernet ports:
Limitation: Stacking bandwidth is limited to 1 Gbps per link; this is not suitable for high-throughput clustering. The ERS 2460 typically offers more Gigabit Ethernet
No datasheet tells you the real-world weak spots. For the ERS 2460:
| Parameter | Value | | :--- | :--- | | Switching fabric (backplane) | 104 Gbps (for 48-port models) | | Forwarding rate (64-byte packets) | Up to 77.4 Mpps | | MAC address table size | 16,000 entries | | VLANs supported | 4,094 (IEEE 802.1Q) | | Jumbo frame support | Up to 9,216 bytes | | Buffer memory | 1.5 MB shared | | Queues per port | 8 hardware queues | Ericsson has shifted focus to 5G and core routing
Latency (Store-and-forward, 64-byte frames): < 5 microseconds at Gigabit speed.
Datasheet Claim: Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies; standard 19-inch rack mount. Review: The physical footprint is large. The datasheet will detail a power draw that is significant—often requiring dedicated high-amperage circuits. For a data center built in 2005, this was normal. For a modern data center focused on PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness), the ERS 2460 is an energy hog.
