Netgear M4300-28G-POE+ 1000W Managed Switch

Overview
The NETGEAR M4300 Stackable Switch Series features a variety of ports including 24-port 1000BASE-T (RJ45) PoE+, 2-port 10GBASE-T (RJ45), and 2-port 10GBASE-X (SFP+). It also offers a non-blocking fabric across 28 ports, out-of-band Ethernet Management port, and full L3 feature set with NSF stacking.

The M4300 series is designed for mid-enterprise edge and SMB core deployments, offering cost-effective services with advanced High Availability features. It supports mixed stacking between 10/40 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit models, and provides industry standard management tools. The series is covered under NETGEAR ProSAFE Limited Lifetime Manufacturer Hardware Warranty with additional technical support options available.

About the Netgear M4300-28G-POE+ 1000W Managed Switch
The NETGEAR® M4300 Stackable Switch Series delivers L2/L3/L4 and IPv4/IPv6 cost-effective services for mid-enterprise edge and SMB core deployments with unrivalled ease of use: 10/40 Gigabit models can seamlessly stack with 1 Gigabit models within the series, enabling spine and leaf line-rate topologies. Nonstop forwarding (NSF) virtual chassis architectures provide advanced High Availability (HA) with hitless failover across the stack. Intelligent NETGEAR IGMP Plus™ multicast allows for scalable Pro AV installations at Layer 2 without the PIM complexity. Dual redundant, modular power supplies equipping full width models contribute to business continuity management. Layer 3 feature set includes static, dynamic and policy-based routing – as standard. The NETGEAR M4300 Switch Series is perfect for wireless access, unified communications and professional AV-over-IP installations. NETGEAR Intelligent Edge Switch solutions combine latest advances in hardware and software engineering for higher flexibility, lower complexity and stronger investment protection, at a high value price point.

Best-In-Class Stacking

M4300 is flexible enough for mixed stacking between 10/40 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit models, using any 10G/40G 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

10G/40G Modular Solution

The M4300-96X scales from 8 to 96 ports of 10G Ethernet by multiple of 8 ports, and from 2 to 24 ports of 40G Ethernet by multiple of 2 ports

The 96X lets you start small with copper and fibre, including Multi-Gigabit 2.5G/5G and PoE+ over 10G, and grow later in “non-blocking” mode just by adding port expansion cards

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

Removing the need for Layer-3 PIM routing, IGMP Plus greatly simplifies system architectures with automated IGMP techniques across the entire AV over-IP network

Lower Complexity

Entire feature set including PTPv2, L2 switching (IGMP Plus) and L3 routing (static, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, PIM-SSM, PBR) is available without license

DHCP/BootP innovative autoinstallation 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 high-speed backbone, 10G and 40G models can be added later to stacks of 1G models

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

Industry Leading Warranty

NETGEAR M4300 series is covered under NETGEAR ProSAFE Limited Lifetime Manufacturer Hardware Warranty
