Switches

The 10-Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch series from NETGEAR presents the right solution for this requirement; delivering unprecedented non-blocking 10-Gigabit bandwidth at an affordable cost.

The NETGEAR XS708T, XS712Tv2, XS716T, XS728T, and XS748T are powerful Smart Managed Switches that come with 8, 12, 16, 24, or 44 10-Gigabit Copper ports and either 2 Shared (Combo) Copper/SFP+ ports (XS708T/XS712Tv2/XS716T) or 4 additional Dedicated SFP+ ports (XS728T/XS748T) for 10G Fiber links. The NETGEAR 10-Gigabit Smart Managed Switches are purposely designed as a cost-effective way to provide 10G connections to 10G-capable servers and NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems. They can be used at the “center of a small business network” or as an aggregation / access switch in a larger organization including workgroup access, connecting to a 10-Gigabit NETGEAR Fully Managed Switch on one end and extending the 10G connections to the edge. The XS708T, XS712Tv2 and XS716T are also ideal for smaller workgroups that need high bandwidth for sharing, collaborating, editing, and publishing high-density content like video or animation.

The ProSAFE 10G Smart Managed Pro Switches provide comprehensive L2+/Layer 3 Lite features in order to meet current and future needs on virtualization, converged networking and mobility. Some of the main features include:

• Advanced VLAN features such as Protocolbased VLAN, MAC-based (Media Access Control) VLAN and 802.1x Guest VLAN

• Advanced QoS (Quality of Service) with L2/L3/L4 awareness and 8 priority queues

• IPv4 and IPv6 static routing

• Private VLAN

• Dynamic VLAN assignment

• IGMP and MLD snooping

• Advanced Security

• IPv6 for management, QoS and ACL

10-Gigabit Transition with BASE-T

• 10GBASE-T, like other BASE-T technologies, uses the standard RJ45 Ethernet jack

• It is backward compatible, auto-negotiating between higher and lower speeds – thereby not forcing an all-at-once network equipment upgrade

• Cat5/Cat5e are supported for Gigabit speeds up to 100 meters

• Cat6 twisted pair copper cabling supports 10-Gigabit speeds up to 45 meters

• Cat6a or newer Cat7 cabling will allow for up to 100 meter 10GBASE-T connections Designed as Core Switch for SMB Network

• 10G connection to 10G-capable servers and network storage

• Powerful L2+/Layer 3 Lite features make them the most cost-effective core switches for SMB and virtualization environment

• Future-proof your network with 10G bandwidth, advanced traffic management and comprehensive IPv6 support

• Static routing helps to route internal traffic for more efficient use of network resources

• IGMP and MLD snooping provide advanced multicast filtering Act as Aggregation Switch for Medium Sized Networks

• 10-Gigabit switches help to resolve the congestion issue between network edge and core, which is caused by the broader adoption of Gigabit-to-the-desktop

• 10-Gigabit Ethernet provides greater scalability than multiple Gigabit Ethernet links, resulting in a simplified and highly

efficient network infrastructure

• Up to eight 10-Gigabit Ethernet links can be aggregated into a virtual 80-Gbps connection

• 10-Gigabit Ethernet reduces cabling complexity and uses existing cabling efficiently
