Highlights
Industry’s first 10-Gigabit Smart Managed Switches,
Purposely Designed for SMB with Cost-Effective 10GBase-T
Connectivity and Advanced L2+/Layer 3 Lite Features
As a leading provider of network equipment for SMBs, NETGEAR
®
understands the
importance of a reliable and high performance network to SMB customers. With
the growth of virtualization, cloud-based services and applications like VoIP, video
streaming and IP surveillance, SMB networks need to extend beyond simple reliability
to higher speed and performance. The 10-Gigabit Smart Managed Switch series from
NETGEAR presents the right solution for this requirement, delivering unprecedented
non-blocking 10-Gigabit bandwidth at an affordable cost.

The NETGEAR ProSAFE® XS712T and ProSAFE XS728T are powerful Smart Managed
Switches that come with either 12 or 24 10-Gigabit Copper ports and either 2
Combo SFP+ (XS712T) or 4 additional Dedicated SFP+ ports (XS728T) for 10G Fiber
links. The NETGEAR 10-Gigabit Smart Managed Switches are purposely designed as
a cost-effective way to provide 10G connections to 10G-capable servers and NAS
(Network Attached Storage) systems. They can be used at the “center of a small
business network” or as an aggregation/access switch in a larger organization including
workgroup access, connecting to a 10-Gigabit NETGEAR ProSAFE M7100/M7300
Fully Managed Switch on one end and extending the 10G connections to the edge.

Both the XS712T and XS728T Smart
Managed Switches provide comprehensive
L2+/Layer 3 Lite 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 Protocol-
based VLAN, MAC-based (Media Access
Control) VLAN and 802.1x Guest VLAN

• Advanced QoS (Quality of Service) with
L2/L3/L4 awareness and 8 priority queues
including Q-in-Q

• Static Routing (including IPv6 on XS728T)
• 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 RJ-45 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 up to 100 meters
• CAT6 twisted pair copper cabling supports
10-Gigabit speeds up to 45 meters
• CAT6A or newer CAT7 cabling will allow for
up to 100 meter 10GBase-T connections
Designed as Core Switch for SMB Network
