Core Features & Differentiators
-
High-Density 25 GbE Access
Both models provide 25 GbE ports that auto-negotiate down to 10 GbE for versatile device support—perfect for Wi-Fi 6 APs, 4K cameras, and future multi-gig endpoints. -
100 GbE Uplink Aggregation
Eight QSFP28 ports offer flexible 40 GbE or 100 GbE uplinks, supporting spine-leaf or data-center top-of-rack roles. -
VSU Virtual Stacking
Enables up to 8 chassis to operate as one logical switch, delivering sub-200 ms failover and single-pane management. -
Robust Layer 3 & Dual-Stack Routing
Full IPv4/IPv6 routing (OSPF, BGP, RIPng, IS-IS), multicast (PIM, IGMP, MLD), and VRRP/GLBP for resilient core deployments. -
Enterprise Security
Rich ACLs, ARP/DHCP snooping, IP-MAC-Port binding, CPU protection (CPP), and NFPP guard the control plane. -
High-Performance Silicon
Purpose-built ASICs deliver up to 1 Bpps per 25 GbE port line-rate forwarding. -
Modular Redundancy
Hot-swap PSUs and fans plus dual-bank firmware allow non-stop upgrades and maintenance.
Deployment Scenarios
-
Campus Core & Aggregation
Use the 24-port model where space is tight; link multiple access stacks via 100 GbE uplinks. -
High-Density Access
The 48-port variant serves as a primary access layer in labs or data-intensive zones. -
Data-Center Leaf
25 GbE for server racks, 100 GbE spine connectivity—ideal in leaf-spine fabrics. -
Hybrid Campus Fabrics
Mix both models with VSU to unify multi-building campus deployments. -
Enterprise Edge & SMB Core
Handles routing and aggregation for branch or SMB networks with high throughput.
Deployment & Management Experience
- Zero-Touch Provisioning via Ruijie INC automatically applies templates on discovery.
- Unified Management: CLI, web GUI, SNMP v3, NetStream, sFlow, RESTful APIs, and Ruijie Cloud.
- Hardware Resilience: Dual PSUs/fans and redundant firmware maintain uptime during servicing.
- Advanced Telemetry: Per-flow analytics and real-time alarms support proactive operations.

FAQ – Expert Answers
Q1: Do both models support 1/10/25GbE access?
Yes—SFP28 ports auto-negotiate 1/10/25 GbE on both switches.
Q2: Can I mix 24-port and 48-port S6150 in one VSU?
Absolutely—VSU handles heterogeneous chassis with unified config and failover.
Q3: How many QSFP28 uplinks can form a port-channel?
All eight uplinks can be grouped via LACP for up to 800 Gbps aggregated throughput.
Q4: Is PoE available on either model?
Only the 24-port RG-S6150-24VS8CQ-X supports PoE++.
Q5: What routing protocols are supported?
Static, RIP, OSPFv2/v3, IS-IS, BGP, VRRP—complete dual-stack support.
Q6: Can these serve as leaf switches in a spine-leaf fabric?
Yes—25G downlinks and 100G uplinks suit leaf/spine designs perfectly.
Q7: How is firmware upgraded without downtime?
Upload to secondary bank, switch firmware, and reboot—primary remains active via redundant PSU and VSU backup.
Conclusion
The Ruijie S6150 Switch series, with 25GE Switch service ports and 100GE Switch uplinks, excels as a Campus Switch, core Switch, and aggregation switch.
Its multi-gig flexibility, high-density design, VSU, and advanced RGOS features deliver a future-proof platform for demanding enterprise and data-center networks.
