"Smart" Management Features
Each ProSafe™ Gigabit Stackable Smart PoE Switch comes with 2 dedicated high-speed stacking
ports on the rear of the switch providing 20 Gbps of bandwidth, allowing you to stack up to six
switches or 288 10/100/1000 Mbps ports – and easily manage them all with a single IP address.
This stacking technology also provides several high-availability features to ensure
business continuity:
• Resiliency: Due to redundant stacking port connections, there is an automatic fail-over in case
any switch in the stack fails, with rapid reconfiguration, thus preventing network downtime.
• Hot-swappable: All switches in the stack are hot-swappable, and can be integrated or removed
without disrupting the network.
With a total power budget of 192 Watts for the GS724TPS and 384 Watts for the GS748TPS,
customers can choose to connect up to 48 802.3af IP-based devices in their network. Power-over-
Ethernet (PoE) helps you optimize the installation and power management of network devices such
as wireless access points (AP), Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, and IP-based surveillance cameras,
and free your network deployment from restrictions of power outlet proximity using a standard
Cat 5 cable. In addition, as the first in the industry, the first 4 ports on GS724TPS and GS748TPS
also support PoE+, the IEEE 802.3at-based technology, providing up to 30 Watts of power for
your high-powered PoE devices such as videophones, RFID readers, access control systems, etc.
To facilitate power management, the switches are equipped with auto power budgeting functions,
thus allowing the users flexibility in power management. Users can allocate the power by
priorities, monitor power consumption and get alerts when power usage reaches a threshold.
These switches also provide advanced features that provide more robust security to SMBs.
These include:
• 802.1x for authentication
• ACL filtering to permit or deny traffic based on MAC and/or IP addresses
Priority queuing ensures high-priority traffic gets delivered efficiently, even during congestion
from high traffic bursts. Companies implementing network telephony or video conferencing, for
example, need to be able to prioritize such voice and video traffic and other real-time applications
over less latency-sensitive traffic to ensure reliability and quality. The ability to prioritize traffic
ensures quality of latency-sensitive services and applications despite increasing traffic loads.
The ProSafe™ Gigabit Stackable Smart Switches provide an extensive set of QoS features:
• 802.1p-based prioritization
• Layer 3-based (DSCP) prioritization
• Rate-limiting
Manage all ProSafe™ Gigabit Stackable Smart Switches as though they were one unit from
an easy-to-use Web console that can be used to configure all features, as well as monitor and
troubleshoot. These switches also have SNMP (v1, 2 and 3) to collect and track data to monitor
the network health, as well as manage devices, and more easily enforce critical IT controls and
policies. SNMP v2c is most commonly deployed, as it provides better reporting capabilities than
SNMP v1. Companies interested in more robust security may opt for SNMP v3, which provides
data encryption.
All ProSafe™ Gigabit Stackable Smart Switches provide world-class reliability with a NETGEAR
Lifetime Warranty and optional ProSupport Maintenance Packages. These switches are optimized
for ProSafe™ Network Management Software (NMS100) and work with other SNMP-based
management software.
