CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 
Congratulations on your purchase of a NETGEAR Model GSM7224 Managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet 
Switch! Your NETGEAR Switch is a state-of-the-art, high-performance, IEEE-compliant network solution 
designed for users who want ease of use along with powerful management features you can use to 
eliminate bottlenecks, boost performance, and increase productivity.  
This Installation Guide will assist you in getting your switch up and running.  For a detailed description of 
the management features in this switch, refer to the User Guide, located on your Resource CD for 
Managed Switches that came with your switch. 
This chapter serves as the introduction for using your NETGEAR GSM7224 Switch and provides

Overview 
Your NETGEAR Model GSM7224 Managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch provides the benefit of 
management with a complete package of features for the observation, configuration, and control of your 
network.  With a Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), the switch’s many capabilities can be viewed 
and used in a simple and intuitive manner.  For those who prefer a more traditional interface, there is 
Command Line Interface (CLI) available through the console port on the front, or a telnet connection via the 
network. The switch’s management features include SNMP and RMON for port and switch information, 
VLAN for traffic control, port trunking for increased bandwidth, and Class of Service (CoS) for traffic 
prioritization.  These features will allow you to better understand and control your network. 
Your NETGEAR Model GSM7224 Managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch also provides four fiber 
Gigabit Ethernet ports using miniGBIC fiber connectors, located on the front panel. The small form factor 
pluggable fiber optic transceiver (SFP) module bays will accept any standard SFP module.  Using these 
Gigabit ports, you can create high-speed connections to a server or network backbone. For example, you 
can connect:
 
•  Switches to each other with high-speed links 
• High-speed 
servers 
•  Fiber and copper Gigabit Ethernet networks 
Your NETGEAR Model GSM7224 Managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch can be freestanding, or rack 
mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room.  It is IEEE-compliant and offers low latency for high-speed 
networking. It includes 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 ports. The 10/100/1000 ports are shielded RJ-45 ports 
that automatically negotiate to the highest speed. In addition, all 10/100/1000 Mbps ports operate in half- or 
full-duplex mode, increasing the maximum bandwidth of each connection up to 20 Mbps or 200 Mbps or 
2000 Mbps, respectively. Using Auto Uplink™ technology, every RJ-45 port will automatically detect the 
proper MDI or MDI-X configuration to make the connection, eliminating the need for crossover cables. The 
maximum segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.
