24-Port and 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Smart Switches with 4 SFP Ports
Overview
The switch provides twenty-four or forty-eight 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 copper ports
that support nonstop 10/100/1000M Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks. All RJ-45 ports
support PoE+. Four additional ports can accept small form-factor pluggable (SFP) gigabit
interface converters (GBICs) for 1G fiber or copper connectivity.
You can install the switch freestanding or rack mounted in a wiring closet or equipment
room. The switch is IEEE compliant and offers low latency. All ports can automatically
negotiate to the highest speed, which makes the switch well-suited for a mixed
environment with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher-rated Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45
connectors to make Gigabit connections.
You can use the switch for multiple network applications with PoE and PoE+ devices
and non-PoE devices. For more information, see Applications on page 20.
Management options
The switch provides management options that let you discover the switch on the network
and configure, monitor, and control the switch:
• Device user interface: By default, the management mode of the switch is set to
Directly Connect to Web Browser Interface, which lets you access the device user
interface (UI). In this mode, you can change all settings of the switch.
For more information about the device UI, see the user manual. To find the user
manual, visit netgear.com/support/download/ and enter your model number in the
search box.
Note: If you plan to use NETGEAR Insight to manage the switch, we recommend
that you do not use the device UI to change settings that are Insight manageable.
These settings would not be synchronized with Insight or to the network location to
which you assigned the switch. We recommend that use the Insight Cloud Portal or
Insight app to change Insight manageable settings.
• Smart CLI: The smart command-line interface (CLI) is a text-based way to manage
and monitor the switch. You can access the CLI by using a direct serial connection,
or by using a remote logical connection with telnet or SSH. For more information
