Netgear M4300-48X (XSM4348CS) - Stackable Switches with Full PoE+ Provisioning Data Sheet
Highlights
Best-in-class stacking
• M4300 is flexible enough for mixed
• M4300 is flexible enough for mixed
stacking between 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit
models, using any 10G port with any media
type (RJ45, SFP+, DAC cables)
models, using any 10G port with any media
type (RJ45, SFP+, DAC cables)
• High-availability is another key differentiator
for stackable solutions: in case of a master
switch failure, NSF and hitless failover
ensure the standby switch takes over while
forwarding plane continues to forward
traffic on the operational stack members
without any service interruption

The NETGEAR® M4300 Stackable Switch Series delivers L2/L3/L4 and IPv4/
IPv6 cost-effective services for mid-enterprise edge with full PoE+ and
SMB core deployments with unrivalled ease of use: 10 Gigabit models can
seamlessly stack with 1 Gigabit models within the series, enabling spine and
leaf line-rate stacking topologies. Non-stop forwarding (NSF) virtual chassis
architectures provide advanced High Availability (HA) with hitless failover
across the stack. Dual redundant, modular power supplies equipping full width
models contribute to business continuity management. Layer 3 feature set
includes static, dynamic and policy-based routing – as standard. Perfect for
wireless access, unified communications and IP video, the NETGEAR M4300
Switch Series is also ready for the future, with Software-defined Network
(SDN) and OpenFlow 1.3 enabled for your network.
