Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates at Layer 3, providing IP routing, VLANs, and access control lists for segmenting traffic and optimizing network performance. The 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports support IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard, delivering up to 30W per port to connected devices. The dual 10GBASE-T copper ports and dual SFP+ fiber slots offer flexible 10G uplink options, supporting 10GBase-T, 1000Base-T, and 10GBase-X network technologies.
Stacking is simplified through a dedicated stack port, enabling multiple switches to be managed as a single logical unit. The switch is fully manageable via web interface, CLI, or SNMP, offering features like QoS, link aggregation, and monitoring. Its 1U rack-mountable design fits standard 19-inch racks, and modular expansion slots allow future upgrades without replacing the entire chassis.

FAQ
How many PoE+ ports does this switch have, and what is the PoE budget?
This Netgear switch includes 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports that support PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), delivering up to 30W per port. The total PoE budget is 1000W, provided by the integrated power supply, allowing all PoE+ ports to be used simultaneously for devices like IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras without external power injectors.
What types of uplink ports are available on this switch?
The switch offers four 10G uplink options: two 10GBASE-T copper ports for connections up to 100 meters over Cat6a/Cat7 cable, and two SFP+ slots for fiber optic modules supporting 10GBase-X standards. This flexibility lets you choose copper or fiber based on distance, cost, and existing infrastructure.
Is this switch stackable, and how does stacking work?
Yes, it features a dedicated stack port that allows you to connect multiple M4300 series switches. Stacking combines them into a single logical unit managed under one IP address, simplifying configuration, increasing port count, and enabling unified troubleshooting without complex inter-switch links.
What does Layer 3 support mean for this switch?
Layer 3 support means the switch can perform IP routing between VLANs, implement access control lists (ACLs), and support dynamic routing protocols. This allows for scalable network segmentation, improved traffic management, and reduced reliance on external routers in small to medium deployments.
Can this switch be mounted in a standard rack?
Absolutely. It has a 1U form factor designed for 19-inch equipment racks, making it ideal for data centers, wiring closets, or server rooms. The rack-mountable design includes standard mounting hardware and supports front-to-back airflow for compatibility with typical cooling systems.
Does this switch support redundant power supplies?
Yes, it supports redundant power supplies (RPS). While it comes with a built-in 1000W power supply, you can add an optional external redundant power supply unit to provide backup power in case of a PSU failure, enhancing reliability for critical network environments.
