24-Port Gigabit PoE+ Smart Switch with 2 SFP Ports and Cloud Management

Features and Benefits

Hardware 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.

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.

1000BASE-X Fiber SFP ports:

 Two dedicated Gigabit SFP ports for aggregation to the network core.
Support for Fiber and Copper modules.

Low Acoustics:

 Temperature- and load-based fan-speed control allow for quiet operation
in both desktop or rack mount configuration.

Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az):

 Maximum power reduction for ongoing operation cost savings.

Desktop and rack mount (kit available):

 Flexible deployment on desktop and also support rack mount.

Kensington Lock Slot:

 Prevent theft, removal, or tampering when used for desktop deployment.

Software Features:

Remote setup, management, and monitoring anywhere, anytime, from your mobile device, PC,
Mac, or tablet:

Locally or remotely setup, configure, manage, monitor or even troubleshoot your network from anywhere, anytime. Check network status, view dashboards for network health and activity, power cycle PoE ports, etc, and
update firmware remotely. No need to be on-site, open up ports to your
network, or VPN into it.

Auto-join and Configure (Zero-Touch Provisioning):

 Additional Insight Managed devices added to the network automatically
inherit settings and configuration.

Multi-site, Multi-network Single Pane-of-Glass View:

 View and configure multiple networks across multiple sites, all from one
single app; NETGEAR Insight.

Comprehensive IPv6 Support for Management, ACLs and QoS:

Build current network with future in mind. Ensure investment protection
and a smooth migration to an IPv6-based network without switch
replacement.

Robust security features:
• 802.1x authentication (EAP)
• Port-based security by locked MAC:

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 VLAN 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.

Auto-VoIP and Auto-Voice VLAN:

Automatic Voice over IP prioritization (Auto-VoIP) simplifies most complex
multi-vendor IP telephone deployments either based 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.

IGMP 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

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:

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.

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.

Link Aggregation (LACP):

Build up bigger bandwidth to support aggregated uplink/downlink traffic
or to provide redundant link(s). Aggregate up to 8 ports for 8Gbps
connections.

PoE Timer and Scheduling:

Allows IT administrators to increase network security, better utilize network
resources and conserve energy by scheduling or remotely controlling on/
off of PoE ports.

Port Mirroring and Cable Test:

 Many-to-one port mirroring for better and quicker network diagnostics and
troubleshooting. Cable test easily identifies bad Ethernet cables.

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!
