M4300-24X24F - 48-Port 10G Stackable Managed ProAV Switch (250W PSU)

The NETGEAR M4300 Stackable Switch Series delivers cost-effective L2/L3/L4 and IPv4/IPv6 services for mid-enterprise deployments with full PoE+ and SMB core implementation and an unrivalled ease of use: 10G models can seamlessly stack with 1G models within the series, enabling spine and leaf line-rate stacking topologies. Non-stop forwarding (NSF) virtual chassis architectures provide advanced High Availability (HA) with hitless failover across the stack. Dual redundant, modular power supplies equipping full width models contribute to business continuity management. The Layer 3 feature set includes static, dynamic and policy-based routing - as standard.
Perfect for IP video (SDVoE compliant - See our "IPAV Pro" Series), the NETGEAR M4300 Switch Series is ready for the future, with Software-defined Network (SDN) and OpenFlow 1.3 enabled for networks.



Best-in-class stacking
M4300 is flexible enough for mixed stacking between 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit models, using any 10G port with any media type (RJ45, SFP+, DAC cables)
"High-availability" is another key differentiator for stackable solutions: in case of a master switch failure, NSF and hitless failover ensure the standby switch takes over while forwarding plane continues to forward traffic on the operational stack members without any service interruption

Higher flexibility
Two half-width M4300 switches can be paired in a single rack space for redundant Top of Rack installations with Auto-iSCSI prioritization
10 Gigabit ports are all independent and 1G backward compatible for progressive transition to 10G speeds

Lower complexity
Entire feature set including L2 switching (multi-tiered access control) and L3 routing (static, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, PIM, PBR) is available without license
DHCP/BootP innovative auto-installation including firmware and configuration file upload automation

Investment protection
Line-rate spine and leaf stacking topologies offer multiple possibilities in server rooms, in branch collapsed cores or at the edge of growing networks
Even if an organization is not ready for SDN, OpenFlow support offers future-ready design for maximum investment protection

Secure services
With successive tiering, the Authentication Manager allows for authentication methods per port for a tiered authentication based on configured time-outs
With BYOD, tiered Dot1x -> MAB -> Captive Portal authentication is powerful and simple to implement with strict policies

Industry standard management
Industry standard command line interface (CLI), functional NETGEAR web interface (GUI), SNMP, sFlow and RSPAN
Single-pane-of-glass NMS300 management platform with centralized firmware updates and mass-configuration support
