Netgear M4300-52G (GSM4352S) - Stackable Managed Switch with 48x1G and 4x10G including 2x10GBASE-T and 2xSFP+ Layer 3 软件指南

The NETGEAR managed switch software encompasses both hardware and software 
support. The software is partitioned to run in the following processors:

CPU. This code runs the networking device management portfolio and controls the 
overall networking device hardware. It also assists in frame forwarding, as needed and 
specified. This code is designed to run on multiple platforms with minimal changes from 
platform to platform.

Networking device processor. This code does the majority of the packet switching, 
usually at wire speed. This code is platform dependent, and substantial changes might 
exist across products.

Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet switching continues to evolve from high-end backbone 
applications to desktop switching applications. The price of the technology continues to 
decline, while performance and feature sets continue to improve. Devices that are capable of 
switching Layers 2, 3, and 4 are increasingly in demand. The NETGEAR managed switch 
software provides a flexible solution to these ever-increasing needs.

The exact functionality provided by each networking device on which the NETGEAR 
managed switch software runs varies depending upon the platform.

The NETGEAR managed switch software includes a set of comprehensive management 
functions for managing both the software and the network. You can manage the NETGEAR 
managed switch software by using one of the following three methods: 

Command-line interface (CLI)

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Web-based
