Overview:

Product Features:

  • 12 port copper 10GBase-T with 2 ports SFP+
  • Advanced L2 features for traffic management, security and performance optimization
  • Designed for SMB with 10G connections to server and storages

Industry's first10G Smart Switch, purposely designed for SMB with Cost-Effective 10GBase-T connectivity and Advanced L2+ Features

As a leading provider of network equipment for SMBs, NETGEAR understands the importance of a reliable and high performance network to the SMB customers. With the growth of virtualization, cloud-based services and applications like VoIP, video streaming and IP surveillance in the SMB space, SMB networks need to extend beyond simple reliability to higher speed and better performance. The 10G Smart Switch (XS712T) from NETGEAR presents the right solution for this requirement, delivering unprecedented non-blocking 10-Gigabit bandwidth at an affordable cost by using the 10Gbase-T technology.

The NETGEAR XS712T is a powerful smart switch that comes with 12 10-GBase-T copper ports and 2 Combo SFP+ for 10G Fiber links. It is purposely designed as a costeffective way to provide 10G connections to 10G-capable servers and NAS (Network Attached Storage). It can be used as a 10G access switch, uplink to 10G Managed switch (XSM7224) while expending the 10G connections down to the edge.

Highlights

XS712T provides comprehensive L2 features in order to meet our customers’ current and future needs on virtualization, converged network and mobility. Some of the main features include:

  • Advanced VLAN features such as Protocolbased VLAN and MAC-based VLAN
  • Advanced QoS (Quality of Service) with L2-L4 awareness and 8 priority queues
  • Static Routing
  • Private VLAN
  • Dynamic VLAN assignment
  • IGMP and MLD snooping
  • Advanced Security
  • IPv6 for management, QoS and ACL

10 Gigabit transition with Base-T

  • 10GBase-T, like other Base-T technologies, uses the standard RJ45 Ethernet jack
  • It is backward compatible, auto-negotiating between higher and lower speeds – thereby not forcing an all at once network equipment upgrade
  • Cat5/Cat5E are supported for Gigabit speeds; when Cat6 twisted pair copper cabling is minimum requirement for 10 Gigabit up to 30 meters
  • Cat6A or newer Cat7 cabling allow for up to 100 meter 10GBase-T connections

Designed as Core Switch for SMB Network

  • 10G connection to 10G-capable servers and network storages
  • Powerful L2/L2+ features made it the most cost-effective core switch for SMB and virtualization environment
  • Future-Proof your network with 10G bandwidth, advanced traffic management and comprehensive IPv6 Support
  • Static routing, helps to route internal traffic for more efficient use of network resources
  • IGMP and MLD snooping, providing advanced multicast filtering

Act as Aggregation Switch for Mediumsized Network

  • 10G switch helps to resolve the congestion issue between network edge and core, which is caused by the boarder adoption of Gigabit-to-the-desktop
  • 10 Gigabit Ethernet provides greater scalability than multiple Gigabit Ethernet links, resulting in a simplified and highlyefficient network infrastructure
  • Up to eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet links can be aggregated into a virtual 80-Gbps connection
  • 10 Gigabit Ethernet reduces cabling complexity and uses existing cabling efficiently

Smart IT, not Big IT

  • Easy to manage via web-Based Management GUI or Smart Control Center for multi-switch deployment
  • Standard-based technology, ensuring interoperability with any standard-based devices in the existing network
  • Dual firmware images, improving reliability and uptime to your network
  • Worry-free with NETGEAR ProSAFE Lifetime Hardware Warranty
  • Assist with customer deployment with 1-year Free 24x7 Advanced Technical Support*

At a Glance:

Hardware Features Benefits
12 10GBase-T connections Support low-latency, line-rate 10G Copper “Base-T” technology with backward compatibility to Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet. Cost-Effectively migrate current network to 10G capacity by utilizing the existing Cat6 RJ45 short connections (up to 300m) and Cat6A / Cat 7 connections up to 100m.
2 combo SFP+ 10G Fiber ports Backward compatible to Gigabit fiber. Providing flexibility to uplink to 10G-capable core or aggregation switches that support fiber links.
Software Features Benefits
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.
Private VLAN Help reduce broadcast with added security
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
  • Port-based security by locked MAC
  • ACL fi ltering 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.
Comprehensive QoS features:
  • Port-based or 802.1p-based prioritization
  • Layer 3-based (DSCP) prioritization
  • Port-based 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.
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.
