NETGEAR M5300-28G
ProSAFE 24-Port Gigabit Layer 2+ Managed Stackable Switch

Features:

Key Features and Investment Protection

• 24 and 48 Gigabit models, and one 24 Gigabit SFP fiber model
• Because RIP, OSPF, VRRP or PIM aren't always needed, M5300 series comes with port-based / VLAN-based / subnet-based "static routing" only Layer 2+ versions
• You can save costs now and should new applications arise, there's seamless upgrade path with Layer 3 licenses
• 4 or 24 uplink fiber (SFP) ports for Fast Ethernet or Gigabit optics
• Two embedded 10 Gigabit interfaces streamline network uplinks with SFP+ and 10GBase-T (RJ45) combo ports
• Two supplemental 10 Gigabit I/O bays for additional uplinks or local / remote stacking, provide versatile 10 Gigabit deployment capabilities
• Uplink capacity per switch is 4-port 10 Gigabit total, mixing 10GBase-T (RJ45), 10GBase-X (SFP+), 10GBase-CX4 (802.3ak) and 48 Gbps stacking ports

PoE+ Features and Expandable Power

• 380W PoE+ budget built-in per switch and full PoE+ power budget capacity up to 1,440W per switch with external EPS
• Example: 96-port PoE+ in a 3 rack unit (RU) form factor and 30W power on all ports (2,880W budget) using two units M5300-52G-POE+ and one RPS4000
• Redundant power supply functionality with one hot-swap modular power supply
• Optional single switch RPS option (RPS5412, one-to-one protection)
• Optional four-switch RPS option (RPS4000, providing power backup up to four switches concurrently as for one-to-one mode)
• Optional four-switch EPS option (RPS4000 in External Power Supply mode for PoE+ application of up to 2,880W PoE+ budget)

Virtual Chassis Stacking Technology

• True Virtual Chassis Stacking technology with up to 384 Gbps interconnect for network operations simplification
• Meshed stacking for multi-resiliency and advanced load balancing capabilities
• Up to 384 ports Gigabit and 16 available 10 Gigabit uplink ports per Virtual Chassis of 8 switches
• Highest availability with sub-second master failover for L2 and L3 seamless switching
• Distributed Link Aggregation for active-active connections
• Investment protection: backward stacking capability with previous GSM72xxPS v1h1 and GSM73xxS v2h1 models

Management Features

• DHCP/BootP innovative auto-installation including firmware and configuration file upload automation
• Industry standard SNMP, RMON, MIB, LLDP, AAA and sFlow implementation
• Selectable serial RS232 DB9 and Mini-USB port for management console
• Standard USB port for local storage, logs, configuration or image files
• Dual firmware image and configuration file for updates with minimum service interruption
• Industry standard command line interface (CLI) for IT admins used to other vendors commands and scripting
• Fully functional Web console (GUI) for IT admins who prefer an easy to use graphical interface

Industry Leading Availability

• Removable, modular power module for the main power supply
• Hot-swap RPS / EPS capabilities for 100% uptime when the main power supply is replaced

NETGEAR Warranty

• This product is backed by a NETGEAR ProSAFE Lifetime Hardware Warranty.
• Lifetime Next Business Day Hardware Replacement.
• ProSUPPORT 24x7 Advanced Technical Support via phone for 90 days (Remote diagnostics performed by our technical experts for prompt resolution of technical issues). ProSUPPORT coverage can be extended by purchasing one, three, or five year contracts.
