NETGEAR delivers wirespeed Gigabit performance and a full set of Layer 2 management features with
unsurpassed affordability. This next-generation, high-speed switch delivers maximum throughput where
you need it — to high-performance workgroups at the edge of the network, or as a backbone for 10/100
switches and Gigabit servers in demanding small networks. The non-blocking design offers full Gigabit
throughput simultaneously to all 24 10/100/1000 ports. Layer 2 management functionality delivers
reliability, control, and availability. It's an easy to use solution that delivers maximum performance right
out of the box. The very affordable NETGEAR GSM7224 Layer 2 Managed Gigabit Switch creates a more
productive — and future-proof — network. With increasing bandwidth requirements from applications
such as video, voice, database management, and other services that slow throughput and response time,
you can unleash your network and enable maximum productivity with Gigabit Ethernet for today's
high-performance environments. Optimize bandwidth, security, and control with full Layer 2 management
capabilities — extensive VLAN support, resiliency, traffic prioritization, port trunking, port mirroring,
RADIUS, SNMP , and DHCP features, as well as broadcast storm protection. Fiber connectivity is enabled
through four combination Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP**) gigabit ports. Network administrators can
use any combination of these features to ensure uptime, availability, bandwidth, and throughput.
A full 24 10/100/1000 ports and a non-blocking design provide wire speed throughput and
maximum bandwidth for the most demanding network environments. The Layer 2 management
features optimize bandwidth throughout the network — delivering Gigabit performance to systems,
applications, and services. Take advantage of forwarding rates up to 35.7 million pps, and a
switching capacity of 48 Gbps.

Move up to Gigabit power in minutes. Use the GSM7224 as a managed switch out of the
box – just plug and play! All ports are auto-negotiating and support Auto Uplink™ technology.
Management features are simple to set up and use, with a next-generation browser interface for
easy configuration. Choose from two management interface options – an easy-to-follow Web
interface, and a command line interface available through console or Telnet. Comprehensive remote
administration capabilities reduce the need for on-site administration. Easy to troubleshoot –
built-in testing capability locates cable related network problems.
Meet your management needs with SNMP, RMON, DHCP, and BootP. Advanced features
include up to 224 VLANs, DiffServ traffic prioritization 802.1p (QoS) for Voice over IP services
(VOIP), broadcast storm protection, RADIUS, 802.1x, port trunking, rapid spanning tree, and link
aggregation. Full Layer 2 implementation allows you to configure your network for maximum
performance, reliability, and availability.
Layer 2 management and full Gigabit power at a compelling price. Use at the edge to improve
workgroup connections, or at the core to upgrade a Gigabit Ethernet backbone — now you can
afford the power your network deserves. Like all NETGEAR products, everything you need is in the
box – including rack mount kit, power and serial cables, and more.
