There are 24-port & 48-port models including Gigabit copper versions, powerful Po E+ versions with up to 1, 520 watts & even a Fiber aggregation solution. They are ideal for all organizations considering reliable, affordable & simple 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone architectures. As a profi cient component of converged voice, video & data networking solutions, NETGEAR M5300 series delivers a resilient access layer in server rooms for virtualization, campus LAN environments & commercial buildings. Virtual Chassis stacking technology— including meshed stacking—scales both the entire network’s performance & its redundancy. Layer 2+ or Layer 3: you can choose the right one (there are upgrade paths) • Because RIP, OSPF, VRRP or PIM aren’t always needed, M5300 series comes with port-based/ VLAN-based/subnet-based “static routing” Layer 2+ versions • You can save costs now & should new applications arise, there’s seamless upgrade path with Layer 3 license upgrades • When dynamic routing an immediate requirement, M5300 series directly comes with Layer 3 versions for Gigabit copper & fiber aggregation • All M5300 series versions share the same code base for easier deployment & maintenance; same fi rmware across all platforms • M5300 series is fl exible enough for mixed stacking between Layer 2+ & Layer 3 versions 10 Gigabit Ethernet Copper & IPv 6 ready • Two embedded 10 Gigabit interfaces streamline network uplinks with SFP+ & 10GBASE-T (RJ45) combo ports • Two 10 Gigabit I/O bays for additional uplinks or local/distant stacking, provide versatile 10 Gigabit deployment capabilities 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 Industry standard management • Industry standard command line interface (CLI) & fully functional NETGEAR web interface (GUI) • Single-pane-of-glass NMS300 management platform with automatic deployment & mass-confi guration support Industry leading warranty • NETGEAR M5300 series is backed by NETGEAR Pro SAFE Lifetime Hardware Warranty† • Also included Pro SUPPORT Lifetime 24x 7 Advanced Technical Support* • Also included 3-Year Next Business Day Onsite Hardware Replacement**
