. The NETGEAR M4300 Switch Series delivers L2/L3/L4 & IPv 4/IPv 6 rich services for enterprise edge & SMB aggregation deployments with unrivaled ease of use 10 Gigabit models can seamlessly stack with 1 Gigabit models within the series. Non-stop forwarding virtual chassis architectures provide advanced High Availability (HA) with hitless failover that is distributed link aggregation allows for load balancing & virtually zero downtime. License-free L3 feature set
Includes:: static routing policy-based routing RIP VRRP OSpiv as well as Multicast PIM routing. The NETGEAR M4300 Switch Series is ready for the future with Software-defined Network (SDN) & Open Flow 1.3 enabled for your network.. M4300-8X8F comes with 8 ports 10GBASE-T & 8 ports 10GBASE-X SFP+ in a half-width form factor. All 16 ports are independent & 1G backward compatible for progressive transition to 10G speeds. Ideal for server & storage aggregation two half-width M4300 switches can be installed in a single rack space. M4300-8X8F is line-rate with 320 Gbps fabric for SMB core applications as well as spine & leaf stacking architectures Key Product Info. The M4300-8X8F half-width switch provides 8-port 10GBASE-T & 8-port 10GBASE-X SFP+ All (16) 10G ports are independent & 1G backward compatible for progressive transition to 10G speeds With 320 Gbps non-blocking fabric M4300-8X8F delivers L2/L3/L4 & IPv 4/IPv 6 rich services for virtualization (Auto-i SCSI prioritization) server / storage interconnect & SMB core applications Virtual Chassis stacking provides non-stop forwarding (NSF) & hitless failover for highest availability (HA) Two half-width M4300 10 Gb E models can be paired in a single rack space for redundant top-of-rack & active-active server installations Product Features Outstanding stacking M4300 is flexible enough for mixed stacking between 10 Gigabit & 1 Gigabit models using any 10G port with any media type (RJ45 SFP+ DAC cables) High-availability is another key differentiator for stackable solutions in case of a master switch failure NSF & hitless failover ensure the standby switch takes over while forwarding plane continues to forward traffic on the operational stack members without any service interruption. Higher flexibility Two half-width M4300 switches can be paired in a single rack space for redundant Top of Rack installations with Auto-i SCSI prioritization. 10 Gigabit ports are all independent & 1G backward compatible for progressive transition to 10G speeds. Investment protection Line-rate spine & leaf stacking topologies offer multiple possibilities in server rooms in branch collapsed cores or at the edge of growing networks. Even if an organization is not ready for SDN Open Flow support offers future-ready design for maximum investment protection. Secure services With successive tiering the Authentication Manager allows for authentication methods per port for a tiered authentication based on configured time-outs. Industry standard management Industry standard command line interface (CLI) functional NETGEAR web interface (GUI) SNMP s Flow & RSPAN. Single-pane-of-glass NMS300 management platform with centralized firmware updates & mass-configuration support.
