FAQ
What is the total number of ports on this Netgear switch?
The Netgear GS748T-600NAS provides 50 total network ports. This includes 48 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports for connecting computers, printers, and other network devices, plus 2 additional ports that can be configured as expansion slots. The switch also features 4 dedicated SFP slots for fiber optic connections, providing flexibility for uplinks or longer-distance connections.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the GS748T-600NAS includes PoE (RJ-45) port capability. This means the switch can deliver both data and electrical power over standard Ethernet cables to compatible devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. The built-in power supply ensures stable power delivery to all connected PoE devices without requiring additional power injectors or midspan equipment.
What does 'Layer 3 supported' mean for this switch?
Layer 3 support indicates that this switch can perform basic routing functions between different IP subnets or VLANs. Unlike Layer 2 switches that only forward traffic based on MAC addresses, a Layer 3 switch can make forwarding decisions based on IP addresses. This capability allows for more efficient network designs by reducing the need for separate routers between VLANs, improving performance for inter-VLAN traffic while maintaining segmentation benefits.
How many SFP slots are available on this switch?
The GS748T-600NAS provides 4 SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots. These slots accept SFP transceivers for fiber optic connections, enabling uplinks to other switches or connections over longer distances than copper Ethernet supports. The switch also includes 2 combo copper/SFP ports, which can be configured as either standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports or additional SFP connections, providing additional flexibility in media selection.
Is this switch rack-mountable and what are its dimensions?
Yes, this switch is designed for rack mounting with a standard 1U form factor. The dimensions are 1.69 inches (43 mm) in height, 17.32 inches (440 mm) in width, and 10.12 inches (257 mm) in depth. The approximate weight is 7.63 pounds (3460 grams). The package includes a rack mount kit for immediate installation in standard 19-inch server racks or network cabinets, supporting professional cable management and organization.
What management capabilities does this smart managed switch offer?
As a smart managed switch, the GS748T-600NAS provides web-based management with features including VLAN configuration, quality of service (QoS) prioritization, port mirroring, link aggregation, and access control lists. It supports comprehensive networking standards such as IEEE 802.1Q for VLAN tagging, IEEE 802.3ad for link aggregation, and IEEE 802.1x for port-based authentication. These management capabilities offer control over network traffic and security without the complexity of fully managed enterprise switches.
