Now you can enjoy full Layer 3, Gigabit functionality at an affordable price. The NETGEAR
Managed Gigabit Switch provides maximum throughput and flexibility for demanding
networks, with all the Layer 3 features you expect. This 10/100/1000 switch addresses
today's high-performance requirements, while providing the control you need — and the
future proofing you want. The GSM7324 is ideal as a backbone for 10/100 switches,
Gigabit servers, or as the robust core of a demanding, all-Gigabit network.
The GSM7324 can be used to inexpensively off-load routers that are segmenting your
network and lay the groundwork for new IP-based services. Layer 3 routing combined with
Quality of Service, bandwidth provisioning and access control features enable Voice over IP
(VoIP) telephony, video conferencing, and other cost-saving applications.
The GSM7324 Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Switch provides both Layer 2 and Layer 3 managed
switching functionality. Its high-performance design offers a comprehensive set of features:
• Routing: IPv4 routing at wire speed, with up to 512 routes per unit; VRRP
(IP redundancy), ICMP , RIP I and RIP II, OSPF2**, and DHCP/BOOTP relay
• Switching: Port trunking, broadcast storm protection, extensive VLAN support,
IGMP snooping, Rapid Spanning Tree, and link aggregation
• Quality of Service: DiffServ, access control lists, and bandwidth provisioning
Very affordable, the GSM7324 provides the connection flexibility of 24 Copper Gigabit
ports, and four small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules, sold separately. All ports are
auto-negotiating and support Auto Uplink™ technology.
The GSM7324 provides powerful, high-performance data routing and forwarding via 24
auto-sensing, auto-negotiating, Gigabit Ethernet ports. 24 ports are copper Gigabit Ethernet, with
four ports offering optional hot-swappable SFP slots, enabling fiber connections.
The GSM7324 is simple to set up and use, with an intuitive browser interface for easy
configuration. Choose from two management interface options – an easy-to-follow, browser-based
interface, and a command line interface, available through console or Telnet. Configuration files can
be loaded and saved using TFTP, reducing the need for on-site administration.
A comprehensive set of Layer 3 features provides strong functionality in any network. For example,
RIP routing for smaller networks and OSPF2 routing for larger, more complex networks. The
GSM7324 helps maximize your network capabilities — and your return on investment.
Moderately priced to boost your network throughput without blowing your budget. Designed in a
1U form factor, this complete package comes equipped with a rack-mounting kit, terminal cable,
and power cord.
