Netgear
Product Overview
As a leading provider of network equipment for SMBs NETGEAR® understands the importance of reliable and high performance networks. With the growth of virtualization cloud-based services and applications like VoIP video streaming and IP surveillance SMB networks need to extend beyond simple reliability to higher speed and performance. 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 Pro 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.
Comprehensive L2+/Layer 3 Lite Features
The 10G Smart Managed 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 Protocol-based VLAN MAC-based (Media Access Control) VLAN and 802.1x Guest VLAN.

Product Highlights
Hardware Features
10GBASE-T Connections
Support low-latency line-rate 10G Copper “BASE-T” technology with backward compatibility to Fast Ethernet (depending on model) and Gigabit Ethernet. Cost-effectively migrate current network to 10G capacity by utilizing the existing Cat6 RJ45 short connections (up to 30m) and Cat6a/Cat7 connections up to 100m.
10GBASE-X SFP+ Ports
Providing flexibility to uplink to 10G-capable core or aggregation switches that support fiber links. Backward compatible to Gigabit fiber. Support copper or fiber modules.
USB Configuration Port
Quickly and conveniently upgrade or restore firmware load or backup configuration files or download system log files for troubleshooting.
Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az)
Maximum power reduction for ongoing operation cost savings.
Software Features
Comprehensive IPv6 Support for Management ACL and QoS
Build current network with future in mind. Ensure investment protection and a smooth migration to an IPv6-based network without switch replacement.
IPv4/IPv6 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.
Robust Security Features
Build a secured converged network with all types traffic by preventing external attacks and blocking malware while allowing secure access for authorized users.
• 802.1x authentication.
• Port-based security by locked MAC.
• ACL filtering to permit or deny traffic based on MAC and IP addresses.
Comprehensive QoS Features
• Port-based or 802.1p-based prioritization.
• Layer 3-based (DSCP) prioritization.
• Port-based ingress and egress rate limiting.
IGMP Snooping and MLD Snooping
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.
Protected Ports
Ensure no exchange of unicast broadcast or multicast traffic between the protected ports on the switch thereby improving the security of your converged network. This allows your sensitive phone phone conversations to stay private and your surveillance video clips can be forwarded to their designated storage device without leakage or alteration.
DHCP Snooping
Ensure IP address allocation integrity by allowing only clients with specific IP/MAC addresses to have access to the network.
Private VLAN
Private VLANs help reduce broadcast with added security.
Dual Firmware Images and Configuration Files
Dual firmware image and dual configuration file for transparent firmware updates/configuration changes with minimum service interruption.
Auto-Voice and Auto-Video
Automatic Voice over IP prioritization (Auto-VoIP) simplifies most complex multi-vendor IP telephone deployments either based on protocols (SIP H.323 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 signaling) over other ordinary traffic by classifying traffic and enabling correct egress queue configuration. Similarly Auto-Video VLAN enables IGMP snooping to minimize broadcast streams. For XS708T XS712Tv2 and XS716T 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.
Dynamic VLAN Assignment (RADIUS)
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 on the network.
