The SonicWall Switch 14-24 (model SWS14-24) is a 1U rackmount Layer 2 managed gigabit switch with 24 x 1G RJ45 copper ports and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplink ports. It delivers 128 Gbps of switching capacity and is designed for wiring closet deployments in medium-sized businesses and distributed branch offices. It does not include Power over Ethernet and runs passively cooled without fans.

The Switch 14-24 supports SonicWall-approved SFP and SFP+ modules. Common options include 1000Base-SX for short-range multi-mode fiber, 1000Base-LX for single-mode fiber, and 10G SFP+ modules for 10 gigabit copper or fiber connections. Refer to SonicWall's supported SFP and SFP+ module list to confirm compatibility before purchasing optics.

Yes. The Switch 14-24 includes a standalone web GUI and CLI for full configuration without a SonicWall firewall. It supports SNMP monitoring, SSH management, VLAN configuration, QoS, 802.1X port security, and link aggregation in standalone mode. Connecting it to a SonicWall firewall adds centralized management, zero-touch deployment, switch auto-discovery, and unified security policy enforcement.

The Switch 14-24 supports up to 4,096 VLANs using IEEE 802.1Q tagging. You can create access ports for end-user devices, trunk ports for uplinks carrying multiple VLANs, voice VLANs for IP phones, and guest VLANs for isolated visitor access. When managed through a SonicWall firewall, VLAN policies are pushed centrally, and the firewall enforces inter-VLAN routing and security rules.

The Switch 14-24 has 24 x 1G copper ports and 128 Gbps switching capacity, while the Switch 14-48 has 48 x 1G copper ports and 176 Gbps switching capacity. Both include 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks and lack PoE. The Switch 14-48 is the right choice when you need more port density in the same 1U rack space. PoE versions of both are available as the Switch 14-24-FPoE and Switch 14-48-FPoE.
