Gigabit Ethernet, Fiber, and 10-Gig Connectivity in One Switch
NETGEAR’s low-cost, stackable, Gigabit Ethernet switches deliver maximum throughput and flexibility where you need it — to high-speed, high-density workgroups at the edge of the network, in the backbone of growing networks or for bandwidth-thirsty file and application servers. The ProSafe GSM7328S and GSM7352S fully-managed switches deliver 24 and 48 ports of auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps interfaces for high-density copper connectivity. Four (GSM7328S) or eight (GSM7352S) hot-swappable Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) gigabit interfaces provide optional fiber connectivity for longer reach Gigabit Ethernet requirements. For high-density fiber installations, the GSM7328FS delivers 24 hot-swappable SFP Gigabit interfaces for fiber connectivity and 4 combo ports of auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps interfaces for copper connectivity. All switches have four high-speed, module bays offering modular expansion for 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 24 Gigabit Stacking connectivity. The non-blocking design of the switches delivers simultaneous, full wire-speed, low-latency throughput to all ports.

Layer 3 Switch Management
A full suite of Layer 3 switching functionality ensures reliable routing between virtual networks and network segmentation where and when you need it, at no additional cost. These Gigabit Stackable switches can be built into a stack of up to 8 units, creating a bi-directional ring. This set-up will provide a high-density network that can be managed straightforwardly via a single IP address.

Robust security features include IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication and access control lists, ensuring that only authorised users can access your network. Secure management of the switches is available through Secure Sockets Layer (SSLv3) for the Web browser and Secured Shell (SSH) for command-line sessions. 

High Functional & Performance at Realistic Price Points
All these management features, plus the stacking ability and both gigabit and 10-gig connectivity combine to deliver a cost effective managed switching solution to organisations that need to keep an eye on budget. The high functionality of these Gigabit, Stackable switches make them ideal for delivering highly robust converged voice, video and data services over a single network infrastructure.

Easy to Use
Simplify and reduce IT staff workload and mean time-to-repair with intuitive, GUI-based device configuration, and an industry-standard command-line interface (CLI). The EZ-Config tool simplifies initial configuration steps to streamline the out-of-box set-up. For easy tracking of port usage, use the text-based port description to label how ports are used. Stacking capabilities allow you to build a single-IP manageable device with up to eight switches utilizing ultra-high-speed 48 Gbps across intelligent bi-directional redundant stacking links.
