ProSafe™ 24 Port Gigabit Smart Switch
Management at an Unmanaged Price
Joining NETGEAR’s family of Smart Switches with simple switch management at no extra cost,
this 24-port Gigabit switch is high on value and capability. With 24 10/100/1000 Mbps ports,
each capable of powering 2000 Mbps of data throughput in full-duplex mode, plus two optional
fiber ports, it provides fast backbone and connects servers or power users, delivering large
amounts of multimedia, image, and video information in no time at all. Ideal for combining
10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices it delivers 10/100/1000 automatic speed and full/half-duplex
sensing plus Auto Uplink™ on every port. Two hot-swappable Small Form factor Pluggable (SFP)**
GBIC slots provide optional fiber connectivity for greater distance.
In addition, an intuitive, Web-browser interface offers the simple Smart Switch management,
making it a snap to monitor switch performance, configure ports, even set up port trunks,
VLANs, and traffic prioritization. Alternatively, use SNMP-based software to manage your
Smart Switch. Shipped ready for use straight out of the box, it delivers switching that’s easy
to set up and use. NETGEAR ProSafe Smart Switches are ideal for adding basic management
to your unmanaged networks and extending your managed networks.
Twenty-four 10/100/1000 ports deliver non-blocking, full-speed packet forwarding with 48 Gbps
bandwidth migrates your network to future-proof functionality. Two SFP GBIC fiber slots provide
optional fiber connectivity for greater distance.
Smart Switch capability enables key management features for the value price of an unmanaged
switch. Included are performance monitoring, port configuration, VLAN for traffic control, port
trunking for increased bandwidth, and Class of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization.
Ideal for growing businesses who want the benefits of management without the cost and complexity
of traditional managed switches.
Simple to set up and simple to use for effortless network monitoring and troubleshooting. Made to
last, this sturdy switch is housed in a 17-inch metal box and comes with a rack mounting kit.
