NETGEAR M4300-48XF (XSM4348FS) ProSAFE Intelligent Edge 48-Port Fully Managed Stackable 10GbE SFP+ Switch w/ 2 x 10GbE RJ45 Uplink Ports & 1 x PSU

NETGEAR M4300-48XF (XSM4348FS) 10GbE SFP+ 48 Port Ethernet Switch

NETGEAR M4300-48XF (XSM4348FS) 10GbE SFP+ 48 Port Ethernet Switch delivers L2/L3/L4 and IPv4/IPv6 cost-effective services for mid-enterprise edge with SMB core deployments with unrivalled ease of use. The M4300-48XF can seamlessly stack with 1 Gigabit 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 contribute to business continuity management. Layer 3 feature set includes static, dynamic and policy-based routing – as standard. The NETGEAR M4300-48XF is perfect for wireless access, unified communications and professional AV-over-IP installations.

• Low acoustics (42.4dB @ 25ºC / 77ºF).

Best-in-class stacking

The M4300-48XF is flexible enough for mixed stacking between 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit models (sold separately, see accessories tab), 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.

Availability

• Dual redundant, modular power supplies contribute to business continuity management (additional PSU sold separately).
• Vertical or horizontal flexible stacking with management unit hitless failover and nonstop forwarding across operational stack members.
• Spine and leaf architecture with every leaf switch (1G access switches) connecting to every spine switch (distributed 10G “core” switches).
• Stacking and distributed link aggregation allow for multi-resiliency with zero downtime and load balancing capabilities.
• Link Dependency new feature enables or disables ports based on the link state of different ports.
• Per VLAN Spanning Tree and Per VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree (PVSTP/PVRSTP) offer interoperability with PVST+ infrastructures.

Higher flexibility

• 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 a license.
• DHCP/BootP innovative auto-installation including firmware and configuration file upload automation.

Software

• Advanced classifier-based, time-based hardware implementation for L2 (MAC), L3 (IP) and L4 (UDP/TCP transport ports) security and prioritization.
• Selectable Port-Channel / LAG (802.3ad – 802.1AX) L2/L3/L4 hashing for fault tolerance and load sharing with any type of Ethernet channeling.
• Voice VLAN with SIP, H323 and SCCP protocols detection and LLDP-MED IP phones automatic QoS and VLAN configuration.
• Efficient authentication tiering with successive DOT1X, MAB and Captive Portal methods for streamlined BYOD.
• Comprehensive IPv4/IPv6 static and dynamic routing including Proxy ARP, OSPF, Policy-based routing and automatic 6-to-4 tunneling.
• Enhanced IPv4/IPv6 multicast forwarding with IGMPv3/MLDv2 ASM and SSM Proxy and Control Packet Flooding protection.
• High performance IPv4/IPv6 multicast routing with PIM timer accuracy and unhandled PIM (S,G,rpt) state machine events transitioning.
• Advanced IPv4/IPv6 security implementation including malicious code detection, DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard protection and DoS attacks mitigation.
• Innovative multi-vendor Auto-iSCSI capabilities for easier virtualization optimization.

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 a high-speed backbone, 10G and 40G models can be added later to stacks of 1G models (see accessories tab).

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.

Management
