The current Teltonika datasheet specifically highlights PoE+, L2+ networking, cloud management and industrial protocol support as the SWM280's core capabilities.
24 × Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The SWM280 provides 24 managed 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports, giving it significantly greater capacity than Teltonika's smaller industrial switches.
All Ethernet ports support auto MDI/MDIX crossover and are managed through the switch's networking and port-management functions.
This makes the SWM280 particularly suitable for larger installations connecting:
- IP cameras
- Wireless access points
- Industrial controllers
- PLCs
- IoT gateways
- Teltonika routers
- Building management equipment
- Servers
- Network appliances
- VoIP devices
- Other Ethernet equipment
12 × PoE+ Ports with 300 W Power Budget
Ports 1–12 support Power over Ethernet, allowing compatible devices to receive both network connectivity and power through a single Ethernet cable.
The SWM280 supports:
- IEEE 802.3af – PoE Type 1
- IEEE 802.3at – PoE+ Type 2
- Alternative A
- Up to 30 W per PoE+ port
- 300 W total PoE budget
A 300 W total budget provides substantial capacity for powering multiple devices simultaneously, making the SWM280 particularly attractive for IP surveillance, Wi-Fi access points, VoIP, industrial networking and IoT deployments.
4 × SFP Fibre Ports
In addition to its 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports, the SWM280 includes:
4 × SFP ports
The SFP interfaces provide flexible fibre connectivity for network uplinks, long-distance connections and connections between buildings, communications cabinets or other network infrastructure.
This makes the SWM280 suitable for larger industrial and enterprise networks where copper Ethernet alone may not provide sufficient distance or infrastructure flexibility.
L2+ Managed Networking
The SWM280 is significantly more capable than a basic unmanaged Ethernet switch.
Layer 2 features include:
- VLAN
- STP/RSTP
- Loop protection
- Forwarding table
- 802.3ad LACP port aggregation
- IGMP snooping
- Multicast querier
- Port isolation
- Port mirroring
- EEE management
- PoE management
It also provides Layer 3 functionality including:
- Static IPv4 routing
- Static IPv6 routing
- DHCPv6 client
- Static IPv6 addressing
The current datasheet additionally lists dynamic routing support for BGP, OSPF v2, RIP v1/v2 and EIGRP.
This provides network administrators with considerably more control than an unmanaged or basic smart switch.
VLAN Network Segmentation
The SWM280 supports 802.1Q VLAN and port VLAN separation, allowing a physical network to be divided into separate logical networks.
For example, a single SWM280 could be configured to separate:
- CCTV cameras
- IoT devices
- Building management equipment
- Industrial controllers
- Corporate computers
- Guest networks
into different VLANs for improved security and network management.
Industrial Protocol Support
One of the strongest differentiators of the SWM280 is its support for industrial networking environments.
Supported technologies include:
PROFINET
PROFINET Class B conformance is available with an optional order code.
EtherNet/IP
EtherNet/IP is supported for industrial Ethernet applications.
MRP
The SWM280 can operate as:
MRP – Media Redundancy Protocol – can be particularly useful for industrial networks requiring resilient ring topologies.
Additional Services
The switch also supports:
- SNMP v2
- SNMP v3
- LLDP
- Network management
- 802.1X
This makes the SWM280 particularly attractive for industrial automation, manufacturing, utilities and infrastructure networks, rather than being limited to conventional office IT applications.
QoS & Bandwidth Management
The SWM280 provides comprehensive Quality of Service functionality including:
- Port priority
- DSCP priority
- 802.1p priority
- TOS
- SP scheduling
- WFQ scheduling
- WRR scheduling
- Rate limiting
- Storm control
- Port-based traffic shaping
These features allow administrators to prioritise important network traffic and manage available bandwidth across connected equipment.
Advanced PoE Management
Because the SWM280 is a managed PoE switch, administrators have much greater control over connected PoE equipment than with a basic PoE switch.
PoE management is available through individual port settings, and Teltonika specifically provides Ping Reboot, which can restart PoE power on a specific port.
This can be particularly valuable for remote installations.
For example, if a connected IP camera or access point becomes unresponsive, the switch can restart power to that device without requiring someone to physically disconnect its Ethernet cable.
High-Performance Switching
The SWM280 provides substantial switching performance:

This provides the switching capacity required for high-bandwidth multi-device Gigabit Ethernet networks.
Network Security
The SWM280 incorporates a range of security and access-control features including:
- 802.1X port-based network access control
- RADIUS
- TACACS+
- Pre-shared key authentication
- IP and login attempt blocking
- Port VLAN separation
- MAC filtering
MAC filtering can be configured to allow specified MAC addresses through particular ports, ignore unauthorised devices or disable a port when an unauthorised MAC address is detected.
Diagnostics & Troubleshooting
Integrated diagnostic tools include:
- Cable diagnostics
- Ping
- Traceroute
- nslookup
- PoE Ping Reboot
These tools can help network administrators troubleshoot connectivity and cabling problems directly from the managed switch.
Teltonika RMS Cloud Management
The SWM280 supports the Teltonika Remote Management System (RMS) for remote monitoring, configuration and management.
Importantly, Teltonika states that the SWM280 is:
Shipped with 2 years of RMS Management.
RMS can provide remote access to deployed Teltonika network infrastructure, helping administrators manage devices without being physically present at the installation.
The product flyer highlights RMS functionality for:
- Management
- Alerts
- Configuration
- Access
- FOTA
SwmOS Operating System
The SWM280 runs Teltonika SwmOS, an OpenWrt-based Linux operating system.
It supports:
- BusyBox shell
- Lua
- C
- C++
- SDK development environment
- Package Manager
Firmware can be updated through WebUI, FOTA or RMS, including multi-device firmware/configuration management through RMS.
19-Inch Rack-Mountable Design
The SWM280 is designed for professional network racks and communications cabinets.
Its dimensions are:
483 × 44 × 234 mm
At approximately 44 mm high, the switch occupies approximately 1U of rack height.
The unit features:
- Anodised aluminium housing and panels
- Rack mounting
- Active cooling
- 2 × internal fans
- Side-to-back airflow
- IP30 protection
The hardware diagram on page 5 of Teltonika's datasheet also clearly identifies the 12 PoE-powered Ethernet ports, 12 additional Ethernet ports, four SFP ports, status LEDs, reset button, dual cooling fans and rear AC power connection.
100–240 VAC Power Supply
Unlike Teltonika's smaller DIN-rail switches that commonly use DC power, the rack-mounted SWM280 connects directly to AC mains power.
Specifications include:
- 100–240 VAC
- 50/60 Hz
- C14 power connector
- Idle consumption: 7.5 W
- Maximum consumption: 325 W
- Maximum PoE allocation: 300 W
This makes it straightforward to install in standard network and server racks.
