Description

Netgear M4300 24x1G Stackable Managed Switch with 2x10GBASE-T and 2xSFP+

The NETGEAR M4300 Stackable Switch Series is engineered to deliver scalable, enterprise-grade performance at mid-market prices. This 24x1G switch, combined with 2x10GBASE-T and 2xSFP+ uplinks, is built for flexible edge deployments that demand speed, reliability, and straightforward management. Designed for mid-enterprise edges and SMB cores, the M4300 family provides a cost-effective path to advanced services—L2/L3/L4 capabilities, IPv4/IPv6 support, and full PoE+ where you need to power IP cameras, VoIP handsets, and wireless access points. The series also enables seamless stacking with other M4300 models, so you can grow your network without disrupting connectivity. If you’re seeking a robust, future-ready switch that blends performance with ease of use, the Netgear M4300 is purpose-built for you.

  • Dense, flexible port configuration: 24 copper 1G Ethernet ports deliver reliable access to desktops, endpoints, cameras, and phones, while 2 dedicated 10G uplinks (2x10GBASE-T) and 2 high-speed SFP+ ports (2xSFP+) provide fast uplink and spine-leaf style connectivity for server racks and core aggregations. This mix supports growing networks without replacing hardware.
  • Stacking for scalable growth: The M4300 series is designed for easy expansion. You can stack multiple M4300 switches to create a single, logical switch with centralized management, enabling seamless growth as your organization adds devices or sites. Stacking reduces management overhead and minimizes downtime during scale-out deployments.
  • Advanced L2/L3/L4 capabilities: Beyond simple switching, this model supports Layer 2 switching with Layer 3 routing and IPv4/IPv6 traffic handling. Expect robust features like QoS for traffic prioritization, ACLs for security, VLAN segmentation, and efficient routing options to enable scalable, policy-driven networks at the campus edge.
  • PoE+ readiness for modern devices: The M4300 family offers PoE+ capabilities to power IP phones, cameras, wireless APs, and other PoE-enabled devices directly from the switch, reducing the need for extra power outlets and simplifying deployment in office and retail environments.
  • Enterprise-grade management made easy: Manageable via intuitive web GUI and CLI, with standard network management protocols for monitoring and automation. IT teams gain granular control over traffic, security, and service levels, making day-to-day administration straightforward and reliable.

How to Install Netgear M4300 24x1G Stackable Managed Switch with 2x10GBASE-T and 2xSFP+

  • Plan and rack: Determine your stacking plan and allocate a suitable rack space. Confirm you have the required stacking cables and redundant power considerations as per your environment. Position the switch for optimal airflow and accessibility to management ports.
  • Connect uplinks: Connect the 2x10GBASE-T copper uplinks and 2xSFP+ fiber uplinks to your core or aggregation switches, ensuring correct fiber type and SFP+ compatibility. Use high-quality cables to minimize latency and interference.
  • Power and boot: Plug the switch into a reliable power source. Power up and allow the device to boot. Access the management interface via the default IP address or console port as documented in the user guide.
  • Initial configuration: Access the web GUI or CLI to configure basic settings. Define VLANs for segmentation, assign IP addressing (IPv4/IPv6 as needed), and enable essential security features. Configure QoS policies to prioritize critical traffic.
  • Stack setup and validation: If you’re stacking multiple units, connect the stack cables according to the stacking guide and verify stack membership and leadership. Validate inter-switch connectivity, test uplinks, and confirm that traffic flows correctly between devices and the core.
  • Ongoing management: Save configurations, enable monitoring (SNMP, syslog, or a network management system), and schedule regular backups. Monitor PoE usage if you deploy powered devices to ensure capacity remains within limits.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the main advantage of the M4300 24x1G with 2x10GBASE-T and 2xSFP+? It delivers a versatile port mix ideal for mid-size networks: abundant 1G access ports, plus high-speed 10G uplinks for fast aggregation and inter-switch links, all within a stackable, manageably priced platform.
