Netgear ProSAFE 16-Port Gigabit Smart Network Switch with 2xSFP

Switches with Essential L2 Features for SMB Networks

NETGEAR Smart Switches offer powerful L2 and L2+ features, and enhanced performance and usability. They are purposely designed for converged networks where voice, video, data are all carried on a single network platform. These switches are optimised for network efficiency, operational cost savings, and ease of management. This series of switches offers 8 to 52 port configurations both in Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet. All switches come with Gigabit SFP ports for fibre connectivity. These switches are the ideal solution for businesses looking for the best combination of features, performance, and value.

Designed for Converged Networks, Big or Small

o Auto Voice VLAN for fast and reliable deployment of VoIP.
o Auto Video VLAN, following the same concept of Auto. Voice, help speed up your deployment of IP-based surveillance systems.
o Static routing, helps route internal traffic for more efficient use of network resources.
o IGMP and MLD snooping, provides advanced multicast filtering.

Build a Future-Proof Network with NETGEAR

o Solid performance with a non-blocking architecture, 8K MAC address table, 256 VLANs, 480 shared ACL entries, 32static routes, and 1,024 Multicast Groups.
o Comprehensive IPv6 management, QoS and ACL, ensuring investment protection and a smooth migration to IPv6-based networking.
o The presence of SFP ports provide necessary fibre uplinks, while dedicated SFP ports on many models further builds uplink redundancy and failover, improving. reliability and availability for network virtualisation.
o Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE802.3az) support for more energy savings in the future when more EEE-compliant end devices come to market.
o Advanced QoS with IPv4/IPv6 ingress traffic filtering (ACLs) and prioritisation (QoS - Diff Serv).
o Dynamic VLAN assignment for easy user authentication and location-independent access to network.

Network Development Made Easy

o Auto Voice VLAN for easy development of VoIP.
o Auto Video for simple deployment of IP Surveillance.
o ACL Wizard for a guided tour to set up your network access control.
o Smart Control Center, a powerful tool for multi-switch discovery, deployment, monitoring and firmware upgrades

Smart IT, Not Big IT

o Easy to manage via web-Based Management GUI or Smart Control Center for multi-switch deployment.
o Standard-based technology, ensuring interoperability with any standard-based devices in the existing network.
o Dual firmware images, improving reliability and uptime to your network.

Dedicated SFP Fiber Uplinks

Dedicated SFP ports provide fibre uplinks without sacrificing any downlink Gigabit port. 4 SFP ports provide not only redundant uplinks, but can also build dual redundancy by a trunked uplink with link aggregation and failover, the dual-redundancy, a powerful design for the network virtualisation.

Dynamic VLAN Assignment

IP phones and PCs can authenticate on the same port but under different VLAN assignment policies. Users are free to move around and enjoy the same level of network access regardless of their physical location in the network.

Static Routing

A simple way to provide segmentation of the network with internal routing through the switch - reserving the router for external traffic routing only, making the entire network more efficient.

Comprehensive IPv6 Support for Management, ACL and QoS

Build current network with future in mind. Ensure investment protection and a smooth migration to IPv6-based network without switch replacement.

Build Current Network with Future in Mind

Ensure investment protection and a smooth migration to IPv6-based network without switch replacement. Facilitate fast receiver joins and leaves for multicast streams. Save cost and improve network efficiency by ensuring multicast traffic only reaches designated receivers without the need of an extra Multicast router.

Robust Security Features

Build a secured, converged network with all types of traffic by preventing external attacks and blocking malware while allowing secure access for authorised users.

o 802.1x authentication.
o DHCP Filtering.
o Port-based security by locked MAC.
o ACL filtering to permit or deny traffic based on MAC and IP addresses.

Auto Voice and Auto Video

Automatic Voice over IP prioritisation with Auto-VoIP simplifies most complex multi-vendor IP telephones deployments either based on protocols (SIP, H323 and SCCP) or on OUI bytes (default database and user based OUIs) in the phone source MAC address; providing the best class of service to VoIP streams (both data and signalling) over other ordinary traffic by classifying traffic, and enabling correct egress queue configuration. When deployed IP phones are LLDP-MED compliant, the Voice VLAN will use LLDP-MED to pass on the VLAN ID, 802.1P priority and DSCP values to the IP phones, accelerating convergent deployments.

Comprehensive QoS Features

Advanced controls for optimised network performance and better delivery of mission-critical traffics such as voice and video.

o Port-based or 802.1p-based prioritisation.
o Layer 3-based (DSCP) prioritisation.
o Port-based ingress and egress rate limiting.

DHCP Snooping

Ensure IP address allocation integrity by allowing only clients with specific IP/MAC addresses to have access to the network.

Dual Firmware Images and Configuration Files

Dual firmware image and dual configuration file for transparent firmware updates / configuration changes with minimum service interruption.

Protected Ports

Ensure no exchange of unicast, broadcast, or multicast traffic between the protected ports on the switch, therefore, improve the security of your converged network where your sensitive phone conversation can stay private and your surveillance video clips can be forwarded to their designated storage device without leakage or alteration.
