Best-in-class stacking
• M4300 is flexible enough for mixed stacking between 10/40 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit models, using any 10G/40G 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 and 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-iSCSI prioritization
• Removing the need for Layer-3 PIM routing, IGMP Plus greatly simplifies system architectures with automated IGMP techniques across the entire AV over-IP network
Lower complexity
• Entire feature set including PTPv2, L2 switching (IGMP Plus) and L3 routing (static, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, PIM-SSM, PBR) is available without license
• DHCP/BootP innovative autoinstallation including firmware and configuration file upload automation
Investment protection
• Line-rate spine and 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 high-speed backbone, 10G and 40G models can be added later to stacks of 1G models
Secure services
• With successive tiering, the Authentication Manager allows for authentication methods per port for a tiered authentication based on configured time-outs
• With BYOD, tiered Dot1x -> MAB Captive Portal authentication is powerful and simple to implement with strict policies Industry standard management
• Industry standard command line interface (CLI), functional NETGEAR web interface (GUI), SNMP, sFlow and RSPAN
• Single-pane-of-glass NMS300 management platform with centralized firmware updates and massconfiguration support
