NETGEAR 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch with 2 SFP Ports Version 4 (GS724T-400EUS)

Experience the New Generation of Gigabit Smart Switches
The NETGEAR® new generation of Gigabit Smart switches offers new, powerful L2+/Layer 3 Lite features with enhanced performance and usability. They are purposely designed for the future where increased traffic and application-oriented tasks demands more intelligence at the edge, higher realiability and improved network efficiency on top of operational cost savings and ease of management. There are two products in this series: a 24-port and a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet Smart switch.

The GS724T comes with 2 dedicated Gigabit SFP ports for fiber connectivity while the GS748T comes with 2 dedicated Gigabit SFP and 2 combo copper/ SFP ports, all with increased number of simultaneously connected ports.

This new generation of Gigabit Smart switch from NETGEAR is the optimized solution providing the best value at an affordable SMB price point.

• Easy to manage via web-based management GUI for multi-switch deployment
• Standard-based technology, ensuring interoperability with any standard-based devices in the existing network

Features and Benefits

Hardware Features
Dedicated SFP Fiber Uplinks

• Dedicated SFP ports provides fiber uplinks without sacrificing any downlink Gigabit port.
• Up to 4 SFP ports provide not only redundant uplinks, but can also build dual redundancy by a trunked uplink with link aggregation and failover, the
• dual-redundancy, a powerful design for the network virtualization

Fanless Design (GS724T)
Quiet operation makes these switches ideal solution for business environments which favor no noise from networking gears such as libraries, class rooms, offices and etc.

 

Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az)
Maximum power reduction for onging operational cost savings

Software Features
Dynamic VLAN Assignment
IP phones and PCs can authenticate on the same port but under different
VLAN assignment policies. Users are free to move around and enjoy the
same level of network access regardless of their physical location in the
network

Static Routing
A simple way to provide segmentation of the network with internal routing through the switch – reserving the router for external traffic routing only, making the entire network more efficient

Comprehensive IPv6 Support for Management,ACL and QoS
Build current network with future in mind. Ensure investment protection and a smooth migration to IPv6-based network without switch replacement

IGMP Snooping and MLD Snooping
Facilitate fast receiver joins and leaves for multicast streams. Save cost and improve network efficiency by ensuring multicast traffic only reaches designated receivers without the need of an extra multicast router.

Robust Security Features:

• 802.1x authentication
• DHCP Snooping
• Port-based security by locked MAC
• ACL filtering to permit or deny traffic based on MAC and IP addresses

Build a secured, converged network with all types of traffic by preventing external attacks and blocking malware while allowing secure access for authorized users

Auto Voice and Auto Video

• Automatic Voice over IP prioritization with Auto-VoIP simplifies most complex multi- vendor IP telephones deployments either based on protocols
• (SIP, H323 and SCCP) or on OUI bytes (default database and user-based OUIs) in the phone source MAC address; providing the best class of service to VoIP streams (both data and signaling) over other ordinary traffic by classifying traffic, and enabling correct egress queue configuration. When deployed IP phones are LLDP-MED compliant, the Voice VLAN will use LLDP-MED to pass on the VLAN ID, 802.1P priority and DSCP values to the IP phones, accelerating convergent deployments

Comprehensive QoS Features:

• Port-based or 802.1p-based prioritization
• Layer 3-based (DSCP) prioritization
• Port-based egress rate limiting

Advanced controls for optimized network performance and better delivery
of mission-critical traffic such as voice and video

DHCP Snooping
Ensure IP address allocation integrity by allowing only clients with specific IP/MAC addresses to have access to the network

Dual Firmware Images and Configuration Files
Dual firmware image and dual configuration file for transparent firmware
updates/configuration changes with minimum service interruption

Software Features 
Protected Ports
Ensure no exchange of unicast, broadcast, or multicast traffic between the protected ports on the switch, therefore, improve the security of your converged network where your sensitive phone conversation can stay private and your surveillance video clips can be forwarded to their designated storage device without leakage or alteration

Dynamic ARP Inspection
Prevents a class of man-in-the-middle attacks, where an unfriendly station intercepts traffic for other stations by poisoning the ARP caches of its unsuspecting neighbors

Multicast VLAN Registration
Eliminates the replication of the same multicast traffic for every VLAN by sending multicast traffic only on to the dedicated multicast/source VLAN, resulting in more efficient utilization of network bandwidth
