Highlights
Layer 2+ or Layer 3: you can choose the 
right one (there are upgrade paths)
• Because RIP, OSPF, VRRP or PIM aren’t
always needed, M5300 series comes with
port-based/ VLAN-based/subnet-based
“static routing” Layer 2+ versions
• You can save costs now and should new
applications arise, there’s seamless upgrade
path with Layer 3 license upgrades
• When dynamic routing an immediate
requirement, M5300 series directly comes
with Layer 3 versions for Gigabit copper
and fiber aggregation
• All M5300 series versions share the
same code base for easier deployment
and maintenance; same firmware across
all platforms
• M5300 series is flexible enough for
mixed stacking between Layer 2+ and
Layer 3 versions
10 Gigabit Ethernet Copper and  
 IPv6 ready
• Two embedded 10 Gigabit interfaces
streamline network uplinks with SFP+
and 10GBASE-T (RJ45) combo ports
• Two 10 Gigabit I/O bays for additional
uplinks or local/distant stacking, provide
versatile 10 Gigabit deployment capabilities
Industry leading availability
• Removable, modular power module for
the main power supply
• Hot-swap RPS/EPS capabilities for 100%
uptime when the main power supply

The NETGEAR® Next-Gen Edge M5300 series consists of  
seven fully managed stackable Gigabit Ethernet switches,  
with embedded 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink connectivity. 
There are 24-port and 48-port models including Gigabit 
copper versions, powerful PoE+ versions with up to 1,520 
watts and even a Fiber aggregation solution. They are ideal 
for all organizations considering reliable, affordable and simple 
10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone architectures. As a proficient 
component of converged voice, video and data networking 
solutions, NETGEAR M5300 series delivers a resilient access  
layer in server rooms for virtualization, campus LAN environments 
and commercial buildings. Virtual Chassis stacking technology— 
including meshed stacking—scales both the entire network’s 
performance and its redundancy.
