Point-to-point optical Ethernet
This is an illustrative reference design, not a completed installation or a final site quotation. Quantities and capacities follow the assumptions below.
FS5500V2-24UXS6Y-EI provides 24 base 2.5GE access ports. Each zone uses a dedicated 2.5GE link to an ES4200. The design deliberately excludes the optional 10GE port upgrade license from its base configuration.
Conventional rack PoE switches may be simpler where floor rooms and copper routes already exist. Hybrid remote power is possible only after matching components and loads: the ES4200 remote output limit is 40W, insufficient for the assumed 54W zone allocation.
Compare the three architecture families →72 desktop connections, 24 indoor APs and 24 phones.
Service boundary: Tenant/staff/voice VLANs; agree IP addressing, authentication and desk density.
48 sample camera points and management connectivity.
Service boundary: CCTV and building access policies separate from tenant traffic.
Core routing, WAN security, server/storage links and optical distribution.
Service boundary: Controlled management access, labeled patches, UPS and ventilation.
Locate zone enclosures around the planned desk layout, provide maintained local AC and route labeled OS2 fibers from the optical aggregation rack. Keep spare enclosure ports and fibers for future tenant changes.
Inventory copper certification, fibers, switch ports, VLANs and current outages. Retain sound horizontal copper, add fiber uplinks by floor and validate DHCP, voice and security access before moving the next tenant group.
Use tenant/staff, voice, surveillance, guest and management VLANs with a controlled routing policy. Authentication and ACLs must be tested with actual tenant services; VLANs do not create independent physical networks.
FS5500 serves fiber data in this baseline. Every ES4200 has local 135W adapter input and 115W PoE output. Plan zone UPS coverage explicitly; a central core UPS does not back up unprotected zone outlets.
| Link / endpoints | Speed / sharing | Physical path & interfaces | Modules / configuration conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| L1 WAN-01 → FW-01 | 1GE Dedicated link / channels | Reference 1GE ISP handoff. Actual contracted bandwidth may be lower. | Carrier CPE and copper patch lead; change optics/ports if the actual handoff differs. |
| L2 FW-01 → CORE-01 | 1GE Dedicated link / channels | Dedicated GE connection to the core. Review WAN demand before retaining this reference speed. | Cat6 patch lead. The 1GE boundary is an explicit capacity limit. |
| L3 CORE-01 → AGG-01 | 10GE Dedicated link / channels | One 10GE aggregation uplink on a supported FS5500 SFP28 port operating at 10G. | 2 matched 10G SFP+ modules and duplex fiber; verify supported optics at both ends. |
| L4 AGG-01 → ODF-01 | 24 × 2.5GE Dedicated link / channels | Dedicated point-to-point Ethernet access links, no passive splitter. | 24 approved 2.5G optical pairs. Exact compatible SKU, wavelength and connector schedule to confirm. |
| L5 ODF-01 → ACC-01–24 | 2.5GE each Dedicated link / channels | Continuation of the 24 access links. Local power remains separate. | 48 active-end optics total across L4/L5; count each pair once, plus patching/ODF. |
| L6 ACC-01–24 → AP-01–24 | 1GE Dedicated link / channels | One af-powered AP per zone. | 24 Cat6 AP channels. |
| L7 ACC-01–24 → EDGE-01–24 | 1GE Dedicated link / channels | Six endpoint links per zone; 144 channels total. | Copper outlets/patches and endpoint-specific PoE negotiation. |
| L8 CORE-01 → SRV-01 | 10GE Dedicated link / channels | Illustrative server aggregation link, separate from WAN. | Matched 10G pair or supported DAC after NIC review. |
Declared inputs · reviewable calculations
Planning allocations are assumptions, not measurements of unselected endpoints. Reconcile them with the final device classes, configuration and site tests.
24 × 8 = 192 ports. 24 × 7 = 168 assigned; 24 spare.
One spare port per zone is not spare WLAN capacity. Reassess if a tenant adds phones or access readers.
24 × 2.5GE = 60Gb/s access line rate onto one 10GE core uplink: 6:1 nominal aggregation ratio.
Use measured concurrent demand. Upgrade the core/uplink as well as selected access ports if the project needs sustained higher capacity.
1 AP at 16W + 2 cameras at 15W + 1 phone at 8W = 54W. With 20% planning reserve: 64.8W.
Within 115W local output, above 40W remote-input output. The supplied local adapter is essential to this baseline.
All 24 access ports operate at base 2.5GE. Only 12 supported ports can be licensed to 10GE.
List the port IDs and license SKU if upgrading; do not quote this model as 24 × 10GE.
