Product Description

"The NETGEAR M4300 Stackable Switch Series delivers cost-effective L2/L3/L4 and IPv4/IPv6 services for mid-enterprise edge and full PoE+ deployments in SMB cores. Designed for unrivaled ease of use, this series integrates 10 Gigabit models with 1 Gigabit model, enabling spine and leaf line-rate stacking topologies. Non-stop forwarding (NSF) virtual chassis architectures ensure advanced High Availability (HA) with hitless failover across the stack.

In terms of excellence, the M4300 Switch Series boasts dual redundant, modular power supplies in full-width models for business continuity management. The Layer 3 feature set, including static, dynamic, and policy-based routing, is a standard offering, making it ideal for wireless access, unified communications, and IP video. Future-ready, the series is Software-defined Network (SDN) and OpenFlow 1.3 enabled, ensuring adaptability for evolving network needs.

Key Features:

Best-in-Class Stacking:

Flexible mixed stacking between 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit models, using any 10G port with any media type (RJ45, SFP+, DAC cables).

High Availability:

NSF and hitless failover for uninterrupted service in case of master switch failure.

Higher Flexibility:

Pair two half-width M4300 switches in a single rack space for redundant Top of Rack installations.

Independent 10 Gigabit ports that are 1G backward compatible for a progressive transition to 10G speeds.

Lower Complexity:

The entire feature set, including L2 switching and L3 routing, is available without a license.

DHCP/BootP innovative auto-installation for automation of firmware and configuration file upload.

Investment Protection:

Line-rate spine and leaf stacking topologies for diverse possibilities in server rooms and growing networks.

Future-ready design with SDN and OpenFlow support for maximum investment protection.

Secure Services:

Authentication Manager with tiered authentication methods per port for enhanced security.

Powerful and simple implementation of tiered Dot1x -> MAB -> Captive Portal authentication with strict policies for BYOD.

Industry Standard Management:

Industry-standard CLI, NETGEAR web interface, SNMP, sFlow, and RSPAN.

Single-pane-of-glass NMS300 management platform with centralized firmware updates and mass-configuration support.
