Netgear ProSafe M4300-48X Layer 3 Managed Switch with 48 10GbE Ports

Netgear ProSafe M4300 48G Managed Switch 48 x 10GbE

The Netgear ProSafe M4300-48X Layer 3 Managed Switch offers a versatile and robust networking solution suitable for mid-enterprise environments. Designed with 48 high-speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, this rack-mountable switch ensures efficient connectivity for large workgroups and data-intensive applications. Its advanced Layer 3 features include static, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, PIM, and PBR routing capabilities, supporting reliable network segmentation and traffic management. The switch's built-in power supply guarantees consistent operation, while its management functionality provides centralized control through industry-standard CLI, web interface, SNMP, sFlow, and RSPAN, simplifying network administration and configuration.

One of the key strengths of the Netgear M4300-48X is its best-in-class stacking capability. It supports flexible mixed stacking of 10-Gigabit and 1-Gigabit models using any media type, including RJ45, SFP+, and DAC cables, enabling spine and leaf topology configurations. The high-availability features like non-stop forwarding (NSF) and hitless failover ensure maximum uptime even in the event of a switch failure, making it ideal for critical network infrastructure. The switch also supports industry-standard OpenFlow 1.3, future-proofing your network investment and enabling Software-defined Networking (SDN) integration.

Designed for seamless deployment, the switch supports auto-iSCSI prioritization for redundancy in Top of Rack (ToR) configurations and auto-installation of firmware and configuration files, reducing setup complexity. Its 10-Gigabit ports are backward compatible with 1-Gigabit connections, allowing a gradual transition between speeds. The unit's rack-mountable form factor fits within a standard 1U rack space, facilitating organized hardware placement. Security features include tiered authentication methods and support for BYOD environments with Dot1x, MAB, and captive portal, ensuring secure access control across the network. Backed by NETGEAR’s lifetime hardware warranty and comprehensive technical support, the M4300-48X is a reliable choice for enterprise-grade network expansion and management.
