Ruijie Reyee RG-NBS5200-24SFP/8GT4XS Layer 3 Managed Switch — 24×SFP + 8×GE + 4×10G Uplink
Ruijie Reyee RG-NBS5200-24SFP/8GT4XS — Layer 3 Managed Switch for ISP Core & WISP Distribution
The Ruijie Reyee RG-NBS5200-24SFP/8GT4XS is a carrier-grade, rack-mountable Layer 3 Managed Switch built for ISPs, WISPs, and enterprise network operators who need full IP routing at the aggregation or core layer. With 24 SFP Gigabit fiber ports, 8 Gigabit copper (GE) RJ45 ports, and 4×10G SFP+ uplink slots, this 1U switch delivers the routing intelligence and port density to serve as the backbone of a modern WISP distribution network — without needing a separate router.
Whether you are scaling from 50 to 500 subscribers across multiple towers in Uganda, the RG-NBS5200 handles inter-VLAN routing, OSPF dynamic routing, and policy-based traffic control at wire speed. Pair it with our Ruijie Reyee RG-NBS3200 Layer 2 Managed Switch at the access layer for a clean two-tier ISP architecture, or deploy it alongside the MikroTik ISP Starter Kit for a full-stack WISP solution.

Why Layer 3 Matters for Your ISP
Running a WISP in Uganda means managing dozens of customer VLANs, tower uplinks, and management subnets — all fighting for the same backbone. A Layer 2 switch forces you to route traffic back to a separate router for every inter-VLAN hop, creating bottlenecks and single points of failure. The RG-NBS5200 eliminates that constraint by routing directly at the switch level, keeping latency low and your network topology clean.
With OSPF support, the NBS5200 can dynamically exchange routes with your MikroTik border routers, automatically rerouting traffic if a link goes down — no manual reconfiguration required. This is the kind of resilience that separates a professional ISP from a hobbyist network.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the RG-NBS5200 and RG-NBS3200?
The RG-NBS5200 is a Layer 3 Managed Switch with IP routing (OSPF, static routes, inter-VLAN routing) — ideal for ISP core and distribution layers. The RG-NBS3200 is a Layer 2 Managed Switch, better suited for flat access aggregation. If you need routing at the switch level, choose the NBS5200.
Does the RG-NBS5200 support OSPF and static routing?
Yes — full Layer 3 routing including static routes and OSPF are supported. This enables dynamic route exchange with MikroTik border routers and automatic failover without manual reconfiguration.
What SFP modules are compatible?
Standard 1G SFP transceivers (1000Base-SX for multi-mode, 1000Base-LX for single-mode fiber) and 10G SFP+ modules on the 4 uplink ports. Ruijie-branded SFPs are recommended, but most industry-standard modules are supported.
Can I manage this switch via Reyee Cloud?
Yes. The RG-NBS5200 supports Reyee Cloud Management for zero-touch provisioning, remote configuration, and centralized monitoring across all your ISP network nodes in Uganda.
Is this switch suitable as a WISP core or distribution switch?
Absolutely. Layer 3 routing, 24 SFP fiber uplinks, and 4×10G backbone slots make the RG-NBS5200 the ideal core or distribution switch for WISPs scaling beyond a flat Layer 2 topology in Uganda and East Africa.
How does this integrate with our ISP billing system?
The RG-NBS5200 works alongside RADIUS-based AAA and integrates cleanly with our ISP Billing & Management Platform for subscriber provisioning, bandwidth control, and mobile money billing.
