More Information

Overview Manuals Port Mapping Expansion Logic Resilient Paths Configuration Control

Features:

  • Eight combo positions let each network point use either copper RJ45 or an SFP medium.
  • Two extender interfaces expand the modular SCALANCE XM-400 port arrangement.
  • Layer 3 routing, VLAN control and redundant-path protocols operate in one managed switch.
Siemens 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 is the SCALANCE XM408-8C base switch for managed Industrial Ethernet networks.

Its paired electrical and optical connectors keep the active base-port count at eight while allowing the medium to be chosen per position.

Configuration can be retained on the supplied C-PLUG, and supported XM-400 interface modules extend the installed connection layout.

The Siemens 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 SCALANCE XM408-8C Managed Modular IE Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Choosing the active medium

  • Paired Positions: Each numbered position links one RJ45 socket with one SFP slot.
  • Single Active Path: Selecting the copper side prevents the paired optical side from acting as an additional port.
  • Media Choice: The same logical position can be assigned to an electrical or optical connection.
  • Speed Context: The installed medium and transceiver determine whether the position operates at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbit/s.

Building beyond the base unit

  • Extension Points: Two side interfaces accept supported XM-400 media modules.
  • Port Ceiling: The documented modular arrangement reaches a combined maximum of 24 electrical or optical ports.
  • Module Handling: Interface modules are designed for insertion and removal within the powered modular system.
  • Rail Arrangement: The base device and extensions share the supported DIN-rail or S7 mounting layout.

Organizing alternate traffic routes

  • Ring Methods: MRP, MRP-I and HRP cover the documented industrial ring options.
  • Spanning Trees: STP, RSTP, RSTP+ and MSTP control loop-free Ethernet paths.
  • Aggregated Links: LACP combines suitable links under one negotiated logical connection.
  • Router Continuity: VRRP supports a redundant routed gateway arrangement.

Retaining and reaching the setup

  • Removable Memory: The supplied C-PLUG stores transferable device configuration data.
  • Engineering Access: STEP 7 and the web-based interface provide documented configuration paths.
  • Command Access: CLI management supports direct administration of switch and routing functions.
  • Network Supervision: SNMP and RMON expose status and traffic information to management systems.
Description
Siemens 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 is a SCALANCE XM408-8C managed modular Industrial Ethernet switch. It directs traffic through eight usable combo positions and supplies PROFINET IO device functions, Layer 3 routing and managed network services within the XM-400 platform.

Port selection on 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 pairs each RJ45 connection with an SFP position, so one electrical or optical medium is used at each combo location rather than counting both connectors as separate active ports. Two extender interfaces allow the base switch to grow through XM-400 media modules.

At the control layer, 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 supports VLAN segmentation, static and dynamic IPv4 or IPv6 routing, and management through CLI, web-based access, STEP 7 and SNMP. MRP, MRP-I, HRP, STP, RSTP, MSTP and LACP organize alternative forwarding paths and aggregated links.

A redundant 24 V DC connection powers 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2, while the supplied C-PLUG retains removable configuration data. The modular enclosure mounts on 35 mm DIN rail or Siemens S7 mounting rails and accepts hot-swappable interface modules within the documented expansion arrangement.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Why does 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 show eight RJ45 and eight SFP connectors but only eight usable ports?
Each numbered position on 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 is a combo port. Selecting its RJ45 side disables the paired SFP side, so the base device provides eight simultaneous network ports rather than sixteen.
How can 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 be expanded beyond its base connections?
Use the two extender interfaces on 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 with supported XM-400 media modules; the documented modular arrangement can reach 24 electrical or optical ports.
What should be checked if a replacement 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 starts without the expected configuration?
Confirm that the correct C-PLUG is installed in 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 and that the saved configuration matches the port and routing layout of the station.
Can 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 route traffic instead of operating only as a Layer 2 switch?
Yes. 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 provides integrated static and dynamic routing for IPv4 and IPv6, including RIPv2, RIPng, OSPFv2, OSPFv3 and VRRP functions.
Which redundant-ring methods are available when integrating 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2?
6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 supports MRP, MRP-I, HRP, STP, RSTP, RSTP+ and MSTP; select the method that matches the existing network design and controller configuration.
What power connection should be verified before energizing 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2?
Verify a 19.2 to 28.8 V DC supply at the four-pole terminal block of 6GK5408-8GR00-2AM2 and check both feeds when redundant voltage supply is used.
