The M4300 Stackable L3 Managed Switch Series comes with 40G, 10G and 1G models in a variety of form factors including PoE+ full provisioning. M4300 Switch Series delivers IPv4/IPv6 rich services for mid-enterprise edge and SMB core with mixed stacking between 40-, 10- and 1-Gigabit models. Layer 3 feature set includes static and policy-based routing, RIP, VRRP, OSPF, and PIM dynamic routing. M4300 is ideal for server aggregation, wireless access, unified communications and Video-over-IP.
NETGEAR M4300 series key features: - Cost effective 1G access layer in campus LAN networks, and high performance 10G/40G distribution layer for midsize organizations networks
- Zero Touch AV-over-IP with pre-configured L2 Multicast (SDVoE-ready)
- Advanced Layer 2, Layer 3 and Layer 4 feature set - no license required - including Policy Based Routing, RIP, VRRP, OSPF and PIM
- Innovative mixed "Spine and Leaf", 1G, 10G and 40G stacking with nonstop forwarding (NSF) and hitless failover redundancy
- Low acoustics, half-width 16-port and 24-port 10G models can be paired in a single rack space for redundant Top of Rack
- Modular 12-slot 2RU model scaling up to 96-port 10G by multiple of 8 ports or 24-port 40G by multiple of 2 ports
