NETGEAR GS728TXP
24-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Smart Switch w/ optional Remote/Cloud Management and 4 SFP+ Ports (190W)

Features & Benefits:

Hardware Features

• 1000BASE-T Copper Ethernet PoE+ connections
  Support high-density VoIP, Surveillance and Wi-Fi AP deployments, scalable for future growth. Never face the risk of running out of PoE ports.
• 1000/10GBASE-X Fiber SFP+ ports
  Four dedicated 10G SFP+ ports for aggregation to the network core. Support for Fiber and Copper modules. Can also build dual redundancy by a trunked uplink with link aggregation and failover.
• Great choice of PoE port counts and PoE power budgets that can adapt to the business’s needs
  190W or 380W PoE budget available across 24 or 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports (802.3at) – Connect multiple power demanding devices to your network with a single wire for power and connectivity.
• Low Acoustics
  Temperature-based fan-speed control minimizes system acoustic noise in any environment starting at 26.80dBA at 25°C (77°F) ambient.
• Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az)
  Maximum power reduction for ongoing operation cost savings.

Software Features

• Fully-integrated Cloud-manageable Devices
  Require no additional hardware (cloud keys, network portals, local servers, VPN or proxy appliances etc) to directly connect to the cloud and allow remote management. No additional hardware or software. Just switch to Insight Cloud management mode through Web browser-based user interface and go.
• Text-based Lite Command-line Interface (CLI)
  Provide a text-based way to manage and monitor the system. The CLI can be accessed by using a direct serial connection, or by using a remote logical connection with telnet or SSH.
• Comprehensive IPv6 Support for Management, ACL and QoS
  Build current network with future in mind. Ensure investment protection and a smooth migration to an IPv6-based network without switch replacement.
• IPv4 & IPv6 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.
• Robust security features:
  Build a secured, converged network with all types of traffic by preventing external attacks and blocking malware while allowing secure access for authorized users.
  • 802.1x authentication (EAP)
  • Port-based security by locked MAC
  • ACL filtering to permit or deny traffic based on MAC and IP addresses
• Comprehensive QoS features:
  Advanced controls for optimized network performance and better delivery of mission-critical traffic such as voice and video.
  • Port-based or VLAN 802.1p-based prioritization
  • Layer 3-based (DSCP) prioritization
  • Port-based ingress and egress rate limiting
• Auto-VoIP, Auto-Voice VLAN, and Auto-Video VLAN
  Automatic Voice over IP prioritization (Auto-VoIP) simplifies most complex multi-vendor IP telephone deployments either based on protocols (SIP) 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. Similarly, Auto-video VLAN enables IGMP snooping to minimize broadcast streams.
• IGMP (IPv4) and MLD (IPv6) Snooping and Querier modes with Fast Leave
  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.
• Protected Ports
  Ensure no exchange of unicast, broadcast, or multicast traffic between the protected ports on the switch, thereby improving the security of your converged network. This allows your sensitive phone phone conversations to stay private and your surveillance video clips can be forwarded to their designated storage device without leakage or alteration.
• DHCP Snooping and Dynamic ARP Inspection
  Ensure IP address allocation integrity by only allowing DHCP messages from trusted DHCP servers and dropping malformed DHCP messages with a port or MAC address mismatch. Use the DHCP snooping bindings database per port and per VLAN to drop incoming packets that do not match any binding and to enforce source IP/MAC addresses for malicious users traffic elimination.
• Dynamic VLAN Assignment (RADIUS)
  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 on the network.
• Dual Firmware Images
  Dual firmware images for transparent firmware updates with minimum service interruption.
• Firmware Updates from Cloud
  Direct cloud-to-device firmware updates, initiated and/or scheduled using the Insight app, all from the palm of your hand, anytime, anywhere.

Target Application

Network Convergence

Within small and medium-sized organizations — especially in the hospitality, catering, education, and retail industries — there is growing deployment of VoIP phones, IP security cameras, video-over-IP endpoints, proximity sensors, LED lighting, secure access door locks, and other IoT devices. The dense proximity of these devices requires network switches capable of supporting PoE so a network manager can add power-hungry devices to the network with a single wire for power and connectivity. Wave 2 802.11ac wireless access points and pan-tilt-zoom HD surveillance cameras with features such as night vision and built-in motion tracking also require PoE+ power (802.3at), increasing the power demands on PoE switches.

The new 24-port and 48-port NETGEAR Smart switches support dense deployments of these modern high-power PoE+ devices. They offer powerful Layer 2 and Lite Layer 3 (static routing) features for IPv4 and IPv6 with enhanced performance and a focus on usability within SMB environments:

• 190W (GS728TXPv3) PoE budget across 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports
• 380W (GS752TXPv3) PoE budget across 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports
• 4 dedicated Gigabit SFP+ fiber ports for aggregation to the network core
• Quiet rack mounting operation with 26.80dBA to 36.6dBA max at 25°C (77°F) ambient
• Layer 3 static routing with 32 routes (IPv4 and IPv6) for interVLAN local routing
• IGMP Snooping, IGMP Querier and IGMP Fast Leave for multicast optimization
• Include VLANs, Private VLAN, PoE scheduling, ACLs, DiffServ, LACP, MVR and STP
• Easy-to-use Web browser-based management GUI — No need for an IT expert
• Limited Lifetime Warranty, Next Business Day replacement, Tech support
