M4300-24X24F comes with 24 ports 10GBASE-T and 24 ports 10GBASE-X SFP+ in a full-width form factor. All 48 ports are independent and 1G backward compatible for progressive transition to 10G speeds. Ideal for Top-of-Rack server and storage applications: 1+1 PSU protection and front to back cooling ensure hot and cold aisle compliance. M4300-24X24F is line-rate with 960Gbps fabric for SMB core applications as well as spine and leaf stacking architectures.
The NETGEAR® M4300-24X24F Stackable Switch delivers L2/L3/L4 and IPv4/IPv6 cost-effective services for mid-enterprise edge and SMB core deployments with unrivalled ease of use: This 10 Gigabit model can seamlessly stack with 1 Gigabit models within the series, enabling spine and leaf line-rate stacking topologies. Non-stop forwarding (NSF) virtual chassis architectures provide advanced High Availability (HA) with hitless failover across the stack. Layer 3 feature set includes static, dynamic and policy-based routing – as standard. Perfect for wireless access, unified communications and IP video, the M4300-24X24F Switch is also ready for the future, with Software-defined Network (SDN) and OpenFlow 1.3 enabled for your network.
NETGEAR Intelligent Edge Switch solutions combine the latest advances in hardware and software engineering for higher flexibility, lower complexity and stronger investment protection, at a high-value price point.

All (48) 10G ports are independent and 1G backward compatible for progressive transition to 10G speeds
Cost effective 1G access layer in campus LAN networks, and high performance 10G distribution layer for midsize organisations networks
Zero Touch AV-over-IP with pre-configured L2 Multicast on all 1G models (1G AV encoders and decoders) and 10G models (SDVoE-ready)

Highlights
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
10 Gigabit ports are all independent and 1G backward compatible for progressive transition to 10G speeds
Lower complexity
Entire feature set including L2 switching (multi-tiered access control) and L3 routing (static, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, PIM, PBR) is available without license
DHCP/BootP innovative auto-installation 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 organisation is not ready for SDN, OpenFlow 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
With BYOD, tiered Dot1x -> MAB -> Captive Portal authentication is powerful and simple to implement with strict policies
