ME-3400-24TS-A is an AC-powered, managed Ethernet access switch with 24 copper 10/100 access ports and two fixed Gigabit SFP uplinks. Non-PoE operation requires separate endpoint power, while the full-width 1U chassis fits an equipment rack. The Cisco ME 3400 Series Ethernet Access Switches serve customer-located carrier Ethernet applications rather than conventional desktop access. Layer 2 service switching forms the baseline; routed services depend on the selected software image. The discontinued ME-3400-24TS-D is the nearest power variant, substituting DC input for AC. For this 24-port Fast Ethernet access switch, matching the installed image to the existing service configuration matters as much as matching the hardware part number.

8.8 Gbps switching capacity and 6.5 Mpps forwarding rate define the aggregate switching and packet-processing limits. The 8000-entry MAC table bounds address learning, while 128 MB of DRAM and 32 MB of flash separate working memory from image storage. ME-3400-24TS-A supports console CLI, Telnet and SNMP management, with SSH dependent on a cryptographic image. The fixed AC supply provides no second internal PSU bay; 30W maximum consumption establishes a switch-only rack-power allocation without endpoint PoE delivery.
Order ME-3400-24TS-A new sealed with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year ORM warranty; returns are 30 days for every condition, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot and optics bay recognition; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition and installed image on the purchase order. For enterprise and volume orders, ORM accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

Where multiple subscribers share a building handoff, default UNI behavior keeps customer ports administratively down and prevents local switching between UNIs. Deployment therefore needs an explicit activation and isolation plan rather than a conventional desktop-switch assumption. Specify the intended UNI and NNI roles before the purchase order.
When reproducing an existing carrier Ethernet service in a staging rack, QoS, IGMP filtering and MVR require checks beyond establishing link. Representative multicast streams and ingress and egress traffic loads expose configuration differences that a port-only test misses. Specify the traffic policy and multicast membership checks before the purchase order.
24 Gigabit copper access connections
ME-3400-24TS-A limits its built-in copper access ports to 10/100 Mbps. Its Gigabit SFP uplinks do not provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity on every copper access connection.
10G fiber uplinks
ME-3400-24TS-A provides Gigabit SFP uplinks, not 10G uplinks. The fixed uplink architecture does not accept a removable network card to add higher-speed uplink ports.
PoE-powered phones or access points
ME-3400-24TS-A does not deliver endpoint PoE. Powered phones or access points require a separate power source rather than power from its copper access ports.

ME-3400-24TS-A identifies the AC-powered ME 3400 configuration: ME-3400 is the family, 24TS describes 24 Ethernet 10/100 ports with two SFP uplinks, and A denotes AC power. The hardware identifier does not select a software image, so the installed image is a separate ordering consideration.
ME-3400-24TS-A supports serial-console CLI, Telnet, SSH with a cryptographic image, and SNMP v1/v2c/v3. Centralized management options include CiscoWorks 2000 and Cisco CNS 2100, whose web GUI and XML interface support provisioning. The centralized web interface is distinct from the switch’s local console and network CLI access.
ME-3400-24TS-A reached end of sale on January 9, 2014, and Cisco support ended January 31, 2019. Cisco service has therefore ended for this model. New sealed or refurbished condition does not change those milestones or restore the product to an active Cisco support lifecycle.
ORM Systems offers ME-3400-24TS-A new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty, plus 30-day returns on either condition, terms apply. Cisco’s warranty and service coverage ended January 31, 2019; ORM’s coverage is separate.
METROBASE, METROACCESS and METROIPACCESS are the Cisco ME 3400 software choices. METROBASE provides standard Layer 2 services, METROACCESS adds tunneling and Flex Link, and METROIPACCESS adds routed services. The hardware suffix does not identify the installed image, and the former image-upgrade products are discontinued without replacements.
Yes, ME-3400-24TS-A supports OSPF and BGPv4 with METROIPACCESS software, alongside Static, RIP v1/v2 and EIGRP routing. The configurable ceiling is 5000 unicast routes. METROBASE and METROACCESS are Layer 2 images, so routed-service capability depends on the installed image rather than the AC hardware suffix.
Cisco ME 3400-24TS AC accepts GLC-SX-MM= and GLC-LH-SM= Gigabit SFP transceivers, alongside supported 100BASE-X options. The uplinks are fixed SFP-based interfaces rather than a removable network-module bay. Transceiver media and far-end compatibility determine the fiber link configuration without changing the copper access-port speeds.
ME-3400-24TS-A uses an internal AC supply with 100-240V AC input at 50-60 Hz, 25W typical consumption and 30W maximum consumption. The fixed supply provides no second internal PSU bay for redundancy. These consumption figures describe the switch itself, not power delivered to attached endpoints.
ME-3400-24TS-A uses AC power, whereas ME-3400-24TS-D uses DC power; both provide 24 copper 10/100 access ports and two SFP uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The AC variant corresponds to existing installations supplied from AC mains, while the DC variant corresponds to installations with a DC feed.
ME-3400-24TS-A provides 24 copper 10/100 access ports, whereas ME-3400-24FS-A provides 24 Fast Ethernet SFP access ports. Both models are discontinued. The copper model corresponds to existing twisted-pair subscriber connections; the fiber model corresponds to installed services requiring individual optical access connections rather than copper handoffs.
ME-3400-24TS-A provides 24 access connections, whereas ME-3400G-12CS-A provides 12 dual-purpose access connections. Both models are discontinued. The 24-port model corresponds to maintaining a larger number of existing copper subscriber handoffs, while the 12-port model corresponds to installations built around fewer dual-purpose access connections.
Yes, some Cisco ME 3400 series units are affected by FN63756, which identifies a memory-component issue that can prevent booting after a power cycle. ME-3400-24TS-A is an affected PID. The failure can emerge when power returns, so cold-boot acceptance testing addresses a different risk from normal port-link testing.
