Netgear M4500-48XF8C (XSM4556) 48x10G/25G SFP28 and 8x100G QSFP28 Managed Switch

These switches combine the configurability of a matrix switcher with the power and scalability of Ethernet to support hundreds of AV over IP endpoints. M4300 and M4500 switches offer IGMP Plus and greatly simplify system architectures at a dramatically lower price point

Pre-configured for out-of-the-box use

NETGEAR IGMP Plus™ enables instant multicast functionality for most AV over IP installations

Cost effective aggregation

Cost effective 100G aggregation and 10G access layer for AV deployments and redundant spine & leaf topologies

Simplified system architecture

Optimized for "Spine and Leaf" redundant AV installations, with or without MLAG between spine switches

High capacity for AV over IP streams

Up to 320 TX / 320 RX (10 Gigabit) nodes all line rate with each other in a redundant spine and leaf architecture

VLAN configuration flexibility

IGMP Plus is default on VLAN 1 out of the box and can be configured on another VLAN for automatic IGMP across switches on that VLAN

Power and fan redundancy

2 power supply units (APS750W) and 6 redundant fan trays (AFT402) pre-installed for 1+1 power and 4+2 fan redundancy

Secure operation

Advanced IPv4/IPv6 security including malicious code detection, DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, and Control Plane Policing (CoPP)

Fault tolerance

Selectable Port-Channel / LAG (802.3ad - 802.1AX) L2/L3/L4 hashing for fault tolerance and load sharing with any Ethernet channeling

Robust link aggregation

Up to 64 Link Aggregation Groups (LAG, Port-Channel, LACP) with 32 ports per LAG and Multi-chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG)

Comprehensive routing

IPv4/IPv6 static and dynamic routing including IP Multinetting/CIDR, PBR, VRRPv2, OSPFv3, PIM-SM6, BGP4, VRF-Lite

Security & Prioritization

Advanced classifier-based, time-based hardware implementation for L2 (MAC), L3 (IP) and L4 (UDP/TCP) security and prioritization

Multicast routing

High performance IPv4/IPv6 multicast routing with PIM-SM and PIM-SM6 associated with unicast static routes, or other L3 protocol

Advanced Layer 3 features

Includes IP Multinetting/CIDR, Static, PBR, VRRPv2, OSPFv3, PIM-SM, VxLAN, BGP4, VRF-Lite

Link Dependency

Ability to enable or disable ports based on the link state of different ports for complete link dependency

Configuration update simplicity

Non-Disruptive Configuration for applying a new configuration file without disrupting the operation of unchanged features

Extensive management capabilities

Industry standard SNMP, RMON, MIB, LLDP, AAA, sFlow and RSPAN remote mirroring implementation

OOB and CLI

Service port for out-of-band 1 Gigabit Ethernet management (OOB) with industry standard command line interface (CLI) only

Local management console

Standard RS232 straight-through RJ45 for local management console (USB 2.0 to RS232 converter with PL203 chipset is advised)
