M4300 Intelligent Edge Series

Stackable Switches with Non-Stop Forwarding
The world’s only 1G 10G and 40G stackable platform designed for server and audiovisual installations converged access layer and dependable core in SMB environments. M4300 stacking topologies deliver 384-port 1G 768-port 10G 192-port 40G or a combination in redundant unstoppable systems for edge to core connectivity.

The NETGEAR M4300 Stackable Switch Series delivers L2/L3/L4 and IPv4/IPv6 cost-effective services for mid-enterprise edge with full PoE+ and SMB core deployments with unrivalled ease of use: 10 Gigabit models 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. Dual redundant modular power supplies equipping full width models contribute to business continuity management. Layer 3 feature set includes static dynamic and policy-based routing – as standard. The NETGEAR M4300 Switch Series is perfect for wireless access unified communications and professional AV-over-IP installations.

Best-In-Class Stacking
• M4300 is flexible enough for mixed stacking between 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit models using any 10G 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.

10G / 40G Modular Solution
• The M4300-96X scales from 8 to 96 ports of 10G Ethernet by multiple of 8 ports and from 2 to 24 ports of 40G Ethernet by multiple of 2 ports.
• Better than a fixed port solution the 96X lets you start small with maximum granularity between copper and fiber including PoE+ over 10G and grow later in “non-blocking” mode just by adding port expansion cards.

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.
• 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 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 mass-configuration support.
