Netgear GSM4352S-100NES M4300-52G Managed L3 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) 1U Grey

The NETGEAR M4300-52G is a powerful stackable switch designed for mid-sized enterprise edge and SMB core networks. Featuring 48 Gigabit access ports and four 10G uplink ports (2 x 10GBASE-T and 2 x SFP+), it provides highly flexible deployment with advanced high-availability stacking, dynamic Layer 3 routing, and future-ready SDN support. This switch integrates seamlessly into campus LAN environments or top-of-rack server setups, ensuring scalable, secure, and resilient infrastructure with simplified management.

Key Features:

• 48 x 1G RJ45 ports, 2 x 10GBASE-T ports, and 2 x 10GBASE-X SFP+ ports with independent uplink/stacking support
• All 10G ports are backward compatible with 1G for progressive upgrades
• Hitless failover and nonstop forwarding for maximum uptime in stacking configurations
• License-free L2, L3, and L4 feature set including OSPF, VRRP, PBR, and PIM
• Supports zero-touch AV-over-IP multicast with preconfigured settings on 1G models
• Low-noise operation with front-to-back cooling—ideal for rack-top installations
• SDN-ready with OpenFlow 1.3 support for scalable network design
• Supports up to 384 1G or 768 10G ports in a single virtual chassis stack
• Dual hot-swappable PSUs and automated provisioning tools

Scalable Spine and Leaf Architecture

The M4300 series enables true line-rate spine and leaf stacking between 1G and 10G switches using any port type. This flexible design supports scalable growth for wired and wireless environments across campus networks or datacenter edge deployments.

Advanced Resiliency and Redundancy

Nonstop forwarding (NSF) and virtual chassis hitless failover ensure seamless traffic flow even during controller switch transitions. Stacks maintain full connectivity and forwarding capabilities, eliminating downtime from node-level failures.

Full-Feature Layer 2, 3, and 4 Routing

Every switch in the M4300 series includes advanced Layer 2/3/4 features as standard. From static and dynamic routing to policy-based configurations, RIP, VRRP, and OSPF—no licensing fees required. BootP/DHCP-based auto-configuration simplifies mass deployments.

Built-In Security and Policy Control

Integrated tiered authentication options such as Dot1x, MAC-based access, and captive portal allow granular per-port security enforcement. Port-based access policies can be defined by time-outs, ideal for BYOD and enterprise environments.

Unified Management Options

Manage the M4300 series with your choice of industry-standard CLI, browser-based GUI, or NETGEAR’s centralized NMS300 platform. Gain control through SNMP, sFlow, and RSPAN monitoring, and deploy with confidence using centralized firmware and config automation.
