SKYRS manages the SG350-28P alongside other 350 series variants to ensure the power-to-port ratio matches the specific electrical and heat requirements of Pakistani site environments:
SG350-28P (Standard PoE+): Features a 195W budget, ideal for standard IP phone deployments and basic wireless access points.
SG350-28MP (Max PoE): A high-power 382W budget alternative for high-density PD (Powered Device) environments.
SG350-28 (Non-PoE): Data-only variant for standard workstation connectivity.
Fiber Connectivity: SKYRS provides 1G SFP modules (Single-mode and Multi-mode) to utilize the 4 available uplink slots for high-speed fiber backhaul.
SKYRS offers specialized physical installation services throughout Pakistan, ensuring that PoE equipment is integrated safely and efficiently into your rack environment.
Deployment Deliverables:
Precision Rack Mounting: 1U installation in standard 19-inch racks with specialized cable management to handle 24 copper runs.
Thermal Validation: Environmental assessment to ensure the internal fans manage the 195W heat load effectively in local ambient temperatures.
PoE Load Balancing: Site-specific calculation of power draw for all connected devices to ensure the 195W threshold is never exceeded during peak hours.
Fiber Link Setup: Physical termination and verification of SFP modules for long-distance connectivity between Karachi, Lahore, or Islamabad branches.
Configuration services are performed exclusively by SKYRS certified technical staff to harden the SG350-28P against local network threats and optimize performance.
Configuration Services Include:
VLAN Segmentation: Logically separating Guest, Voice, and Data traffic for enhanced security and bandwidth control.
Layer 3 Static Routing: Configuring inter-VLAN routing to reduce the processing load on perimeter routers.
Security Hardening: Implementing Port Security, DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), and Access Control Lists (ACLs).
SmartPorts Activation: Enabling Auto Smartports to automatically detect and configure optimal QoS for Cisco IP phones and Access Points.
Management Setup: Configuring SSH/HTTPS for secure remote management and SNMP for network monitoring.
As of April 2026, the Cisco SG350 series has transitioned into its final support phase.
SKYRS Advisory: The Last Date of Support (LDoS) for the SG350 series is January 31, 2028. SKYRS remains the primary provider in Pakistan for local hardware replacement, technical configuration, and extended maintenance. For new infrastructure, we recommend evaluating the Cisco Business 350 (CBS350) series as the direct modern replacement.
