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
• Up to 768 (10 Gigabit) ports, 192 (40 Gigabit) ports or 384 (1 Gigabit) ports, or a combination in a single logical switch
• PoE+ (30 watts per port) with hot swap, redundant power supplies and full provisioning

NETGEAR M4300 series software features:

• Advanced classifier-based, time-based hardware implementation for L2 (MAC), L3 (IP) and L4 (UDP/TCP transport ports) security and prioritization
• Selectable Port-Channel / LAG (802.3ad - 802.1AX) L2/L3/L4 hashing for fault tolerance and load sharing with any type of Ethernet channeling
• Voice VLAN with SIP, H323 and SCCP protocols detection and LLDP-MED IP phones automatic QoS and VLAN configuration
• Efficient authentication tiering with successive DOT1X, MAB and Captive Portal methods for streamlined BYOD
• Comprehensive IPv4/IPv6 static and dynamic routing including Proxy ARP, OSPF, Policy-based routing and automatic 6-to-4 tunneling
• Scalable Pro AV deployments with IGMP+ automatic L2 multicast (only subscribed videos flow from one switch to the other across the L2 topology)
• High performance IPv4/IPv6 multicast routing with PIM timer accuracy and unhandled PIM (S,G,rpt) state machine events transitioning
• Advanced IPv4/IPv6 security implementation including malicious code detection, DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard protection and DoS attacks mitigation
• Innovative multi-vendor Auto-iSCSI capabilities for easier virtualization optimization

NETGEAR M4300 series resiliency and availability features:

• Dual redundant, modular power supplies equipping full width models contribute to business continuity management
• Vertical or horizontal flexible stacking with management unit hitless failover and nonstop forwarding (NSF) across operational stack members
• Spine and leaf architecture with every leaf switch (1G access switches) connecting to every spine switch (distributed 10G "core" switches)
• Stacking and distributed link aggregation allow for multi-resiliency with zero downtime and load balancing capabilities
• Link Dependency new feature enables or disables ports based on the link state of different ports
• Per VLAN Spanning Tree and Per VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree (PVSTP/ PVRSTP) offer interoperability with PVST+ infrastructures
