More Information

Overview Manuals Media Architecture Routed Networks Recovery Design Operations View

Features:

  • Combines four SFP+ uplinks with six hot-swappable four-port media-module positions.
  • Handles Layer 2 switching, integrated Layer 3 routing, VLANs, multicast control, and network redundancy.
  • Supplies a maximum 180 W PoE budget across supported electrical PoE media modules.
The front-access 2 U chassis accepts electrical, electrical PoE, or optical media modules without fixing every access port to one medium.

Four SFP+ positions carry gigabit or 10-gigabit uplinks independently of the six modular access groups.

PROFINET diagnostics, web and CLI management, event logging, and a signaling contact expose network and hardware state.

All prices are shown in USD.

Combining Modular Access Links with Fixed Uplinks

  • Access layer: Each media-module position accepts a supported electrical, PoE, or optical module, allowing the field-facing medium to follow the network design.
  • Backbone layer: The SFP+ positions remain independent of the module slots and carry the higher-speed uplink paths.
  • Live replacement: A supported module can be exchanged without redefining the other installed access groups.
  • Planning boundary: Port count and medium depend on the selected modules, so the chassis alone does not define every field connection.

Moving Traffic Across Defined VLAN Boundaries

  • Segmentation first: Port-, protocol-, and IP-based VLANs create the Layer 2 boundaries used by the routed design.
  • Dual address families: Static and dynamic routing can exchange traffic between configured IPv4 or IPv6 networks.
  • Protocol choice: RIP and OSPF variants distribute route information when dynamic routing is enabled.
  • Gateway continuity: VRRP provides a redundant default-gateway role when another compatible router participates in the same design.

Matching Redundancy Functions to the Physical Topology

  • Industrial ring: MRP or HRP supervises a compatible ring and restores the alternate path after a ring link fails.
  • Coupled rings: MRP interconnection links supported MRP domains without treating the combined layout as one unmanaged loop.
  • Bridged topology: STP, RSTP, RSTP+, or MSTP controls redundant paths in a spanning-tree design.
  • Parallel connection: LACP groups compatible physical links into one logical connection rather than creating an uncontrolled loop.

Relating Port Events to Automation Diagnostics

  • Local and remote access: Web management and CLI provide configuration paths from a browser or console session.
  • Network supervision: SNMP integrates switch state and alarms with a network-management system.
  • Event evidence: SysLog, port counters, and error statistics preserve the context needed to investigate a link problem.
  • Automation project: PROFINET diagnostics and I&M records expose switch identity and device state within the engineering environment.
Description
Siemens 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2 is the SCALANCE XR528-6M managed Industrial Ethernet switch for 19-inch rack installation. Its front-access architecture aggregates modular plant-network connections and higher-speed uplinks within a two-rack-unit chassis.

Port organization is the defining structure of 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2. Six media-module positions accept four-port electrical, electrical PoE, or optical modules, while four SFP+ connections provide separate 1 Gbit/s or 10 Gbit/s paths; hot-swappable media modules allow the access medium to follow the installed network design.

Switching and routing operate together inside 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2. Port-, protocol-, and IP-based VLAN functions segment traffic, multicast handling controls group distribution, and integrated IPv4/IPv6 routing moves traffic between configured networks without an external Layer 3 device.

Availability functions in 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2 include MRP, MRP interconnection, HRP, STP, RSTP, RSTP+, MSTP, LACP, and VRRP. Management through the web interface, CLI, SNMP, PROFINET diagnostics, SysLog, and the signaling contact exposes both network events and physical-device state.

Technical notes
Siemens 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2 uses four independent SFP+ uplinks and six hot-swappable media-module slots; supported port counts depend on the installed electrical, PoE, or optical modules.

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.
How should a media module be selected for 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2 when the field links include copper, PoE, and fiber?
Choose an approved electrical, electrical PoE, or optical media module for each required link type on 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2; the installed module defines the physical port medium.
Why are the SFP+ uplinks of 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2 planned separately from its media-module access ports?
The four SFP+ positions of 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2 provide independent gigabit or 10-gigabit paths, while the six media-module slots build the modular access layer.
What power check is required before PoE media modules are populated in 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2?
The planned PoE loads on 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2 must remain within both the per-port limit and the documented total chassis budget.
Which redundancy method fits a ring and which fits parallel links on 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2?
Use the supported MRP or HRP functions for a compatible ring on 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2, while LACP combines compatible parallel Ethernet links.
Can 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2 route traffic between configured IPv4 and IPv6 network segments without an external router?
Yes. 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2 integrates static and dynamic routing for both address families, subject to the configured VLAN and routing design.
How can a remote link fault on 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2 be investigated before visiting the rack?
Use web management, CLI, SNMP, SysLog, port statistics, or PROFINET diagnostics on 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2 to identify the affected port and event context.
Can a media module be exchanged while 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2 remains installed?
The media modules of 6GK5528-0AR00-2AR2 are hot-swappable, but the replacement must be an approved module for the intended electrical or optical link.
