MAC address table: 16000 entries, Routing/switching capacity: 320 Gbit/s. Network standard: IEEE 802.11ad, IEEE 802.11az, IEEE 802.3ad, IEEE 802.3az. Rack installation, form factor: 1U

The NETGEAR M4300 Stackable Switch family delivers cost-effective L2/L3/L4 and IPv4/IPv6 services to the edge and core of small and medium-sized businesses with unmatched ease of use: 10 Gigabit models stack seamlessly with 1 Gigabit models within the family, enabling line-rate spine and leaf stacking topologies. Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF) virtual chassis architectures provide advanced high availability (HA) with hitless failover in the stack. Two redundant power modules on the full-width models contribute to business continuity management. The Layer 3 feature set includes static, dynamic and policy-based routing as standard. The NETGEAR M4300 Switch Series is perfect for wireless access, unified communications, and IP video. It is also future-proof as it supports Software-Defined Network (SDN) and OpenFlow 1.3 in your network.

best-in-class stacking

– The M4300 is designed to be flexible for mixed stacking with 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit models, using any type of 10G ports (RJ45, SFP+, DAC cable).
– High availability is another key differentiator for stackable solutions: In the event of a master switch failure, Non Stop Forwarding and Hitless Failover ensure that the standby switch takes over while the forwarding layer forwards traffic to the operational stack members – without service interruption.

Greater flexibility

– Two half-width M4300 switches can be combined in a single rack space (1U) for redundant top-of-rack installation with auto-iSCSI prioritization.
– The 10 Gigabit ports are all independent and 1G backwards compatible for gradual transition to 10G speeds.

Less complexity

– The entire feature set including L2 switching (multi-level access control) and L3 routing (static, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, PIM, PBR) are available without a license.
– Innovative auto-installation with DHCP/BootP including automated firmware and configuration file upload.

investment protection

– Line-rate spine-and-leaf topologies offer a wide range of possibilities in server rooms, in branch-collapsed cores or at the network edge.
– Even if a company is not yet ready for SDN, OpenFlow support offers a future-proof design for maximum investment protection.

Secure Services

– With successive tiering, Authentication Manager enables authentication methods per port for tiered authentication based on configured timeouts.
– For BYOD, multi-factor (Dot1x -> MAB -> Captive Portal) authentication is effective and easy to implement, including strict policies.

industry standard management

– Industry-standard Command Line Interface (CLI), functional NETGEAR web interface (GUI), SNMP, sFlow and RSPAN
– NMS300 “Single-pane-of-glass” management platform with central firmware updates and support for mass configuration
