Selection Notes
The XM408-8C ships with 8 usable ports across the fixed RJ45 and combo positions, with headroom to 24 total once plug-in modules are added, so it fits a cell that starts small but is expected to grow into a ring or star topology later without a base-unit swap. Static and dynamic IP routing (RIPv2, OSPFv2, VRRP) stays dormant until a KEY-PLUG XM-400 is installed - skip it for a flat Layer 2 cell and add it only when the line needs its own routed subnet. Pick the XM416-4C sibling instead when 16 fixed RJ45 ports matter more than combo-port SFP flexibility for the same expansion budget.
