Product Overview
The Netgear XSM4348S-100 NES ( M4300- 24X24F ) is an enterprise-class, layer 3 switch standard equipped with the necessary high-performance to operate in environments that demand the full capabilities of 10-Gigabit connections, data centers and AV-over-IP systems. This switch has a balanced combination of 24 copper 10GBase-T and 24 SFP+ fiber, which has made it flexible in various situations where copper and fiber are co-existent. The XSM4348S is equipped with a 960 Gbps non-blocking switching fabric, sophisticated routing protocols and stackable architecture, which provides high scalability, continuous failure over and stable functionality to highly sensitive applications.
Key Features and Benefits
-
High-Density 10G Connectivity: Connect servers, storage arrays, and distribution uplinks without the slightest concession to 48 total 10G interfaces (24 RJ-45 + 24 SFP+).
-
Non-Blocking Performance - Full line rate throughput is supported by a 960 Gbps switching fabric and a 714 Mpps throughput rate, enabling very high loads without any bottlenecks.
-
Features of an Enterprise-Grade Layer 3 - Create sophisticated routing with the options of static/dynamic routing, RIP, OSPF, VRRP and multicast support (PIM) without purchasing additional licenses.
-
Stackable Architecture - With resilient stacking that can easily increase capacity, stackable architecture is designed and engineered to provide nonstop switching, routing, hitless failover, and easy scalability.
-
Functional Flexibility - Integrate copper and fiber connectivity in one 1U box, and configure to different networking arrangements and AV-over-IP configurations.
-
Dependable Redundancy - The embedded dual and modular support enables a redundant, fan design that is guaranteed to handle high availability in harsh conditions.
-
Reduced Management Scale - Several management interfaces (RJ-45 console, mini-USB, dedicated out-of-band Ethernet, USB-A storage) make configuration and maintenance easier.

Product Information
It features 48 flexible 10Gb interfaces with copper and fiber connections, thus it is useful in mixed media applications. The non-blocking switching architecture ensures that all ports operate at wire speed, and the rich Layer-3 feature set ensures extensive routing functionality is available without extra licensing charges.
Stackabilities also mean that it is scalable and networks provide high availability with hitless failures and nonstop routing. This switch has the main features of redundant, modular power supplies and front-to-back cooling architecture to support highly reliable operations in rack-dense systems.
The XSM4348S can be configured to support a wide range of applications, making it easy to apply in both a core switch (midsize enterprise networks) and a top-of-rack (data centers) switch, or as a component of an AV-over-IP infrastructure. It can support a highly reliable network, factoring in its solid cost-effective management options and high levels of redundancy functions.
