Netgear GSM4212 Managed Switches

The NETGEAR M4250-10G2F-PoE+ (GSM4212P) is a purpose-built, managed rackmount switch designed for professional audio and video over IP deployments. Pre-configured for common AV signal types, it offers user-friendly customization through port-based profiles tailored to platforms like Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, NVX, SVSI, NDI, and more. With advanced automation for multi-switch setups and support for low-latency Audio Video Bridging (AVB), it streamlines integration in live performance and broadcast environments.

Key Features Eight 1GbE PoE+ ports delivering a total of 125W PoE budget for flexible audio or video device power supply.
Two RJ45 1G Ethernet ports plus two 1G SFP fiber uplinks for versatile connectivity options.
Fanless operation possible up to 25ºC ambient temperature; quiet mode acoustic noise at approximately 27.4 dBA under full load.
Compact 1U, 200mm deep rackmount chassis with front panel display and rear-facing ports, reversible mounting options included.
Pre-configured AV profiles for Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, NVX, SVSI, NDI, and mixed audio/video/control streams.
Full Audio Video Bridging (AVB) support available with a separate license.
Automated multi-switch management via NETGEAR IGMP Plus for seamless network scaling.
Advanced DHCP auto-install, relay agent support, and Voice VLAN/QoS features to simplify deployment of complex AV and VoIP networks.
Standards-based flow control implementation for traffic management in demanding AV environments.
Powerful AV Switches - Made Simple AV-Centric User Interface Designed specifically for AV professionals, the switch offers an intuitive AV-focused interface. It removes unnecessary IT-centric complexity by presenting only relevant AV settings upfront. Users can easily select port profiles tailored to popular AV platforms, ensuring correct configuration for both audio and video workflows.

Ease of Deployment and Scalability Large-scale installations benefit from automatic configuration via DHCP and BootP Auto Install, enabling rapid switch provisioning with scalable configuration management. The switch supports IP address mapping, host naming, and individual config file delivery at network initialization. DHCP Relay agents simplify subnet deployments, while QoS and Voice VLAN prioritization optimize voice traffic across diverse IP phone systems.
