The NETGEAR Pro Safe 10 Gigabit Stackable Managed Switch, XSM7224S, allows for a flexible top-of-rack infrastructure. All 24 ports of 10 Gigabit SFP+ interfaces are Gigabit/10 Gigabit capable & deliver wired speed performance with ultra low latency. Four shared 10 G Base-T interfaces broaden 10 Gigabit connectivity with auto-sensing RJ45. Local/distant stacking provides versatile 10 Gigabit deployment possibilities, such as Distributed (LACP) Aggregation for virtualized servers & storage. Enterprise-class L2+ Combining superior resiliency, enterprise-class security, & non-blocking performance, the XSM7224S offers a full set of Layer 2 management features, as well as Layer 2+ (Layer 3 lite
- IPv 4 routing) with unsurpassed affordability. Together with VLAN routing, voice-class prioritization, & chassis-like stacking, the XSM7224S can be deployed as a data center Top-of-Rack switch, or closer to the core of small & medium businesses′ growing networks, as a distribution layer 10 Gigabit Ethernet aggregation switch. L3 Scalability The Layer 3 upgrade license XSM7224L unlocks the IPv 4/IPv 6 dynamic routing capabilities of the XSM7224S. Purposely built for Enterprise networks & core / aggregation layers of SMB networks, an L3 upgraded XSM7224S provides advanced routing protocols such as OSPF, VRRP, & multicast for converged applications. Data Center Availability The NETGEAR Stackable, Managed 10 Gigabit Switch XSM7224S comes with a removable power module for the main power supply with a second internal redundant power supply available as an option. Two removable fan trays increase the availability of the system, providing front-to-back cooling airflow for best compatibility with data center hot aisle / cold aisle airflow patterns. Like all NETGEAR Pro Safe Managed Switches, the XSM7224S is backed by the NETGEAR Pro Safe Lifetime Warranty.
