Netgear FSM7328S ProSafe L3 Managed Stackable Switch

Flexible, Stackable, Fast Ethernet Switching!

NETGEAR's low-cost, stackable, Fast Ethernet switches deliver maximum throughput and flexibility where you need it — to high-density workgroups at the edge of the network, or in the backbone of small networks. The ProSafe FSM7328S and FSM7352S are managed 24-port and 48-port switches with auto-sensing 10/100 ports and four 10/100/1000 ports. This enables fiber connectivity through four hot-swappable small form-factor pluggable (SFP) Gigabit interfaces. The non-blocking design of the switches delivers simultaneous, full wire-speed, low-latency throughput to all ports. In addition, their 1U rack-mount form factor uses less rack space and provides a lower per-port cost than comparable Fast Ethernet switches.

Dynamic Layer 3 switching ensures reliable routing between VLANs and network segmentation where and when you need it, at no additional cost. Plus, convenient front-panel stacking via standard Gigabit Ethernet interfaces provides expandability to meet your growing network's needs.

Robust security features include IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication and access control lists, ensuring that only authorized users can access your network. Secure management of the switches is available through Secure Sockets Layer (SSLv3) for the Web GUI and Secure Shell (SSH) for command-line sessions. Additionally, multiple switches can be securely managed via SNMPv3 with NETGEAR's ProSafe Network Management Software NMS100. For workgroup deployments in cost-sensitive organizations that require layer 3 switching, the flexibility of stacking and additional Gigabit capability, NETGEAR's ProSafe 10/100 Layer 3 Stackable switches deliver the ideal access-edge solution.

Powerful

In desktop switching environments, wire-speed performance with full QoS control for all 10/100 interfaces is critical. The 4 Gigabit Ethernet combo interfaces provide unprecedented flexibility, whether you are stacking between switches, attaching bandwidth-thirsty file servers, or aggregating critical data to the core of your network.

Easy-to-use

Simplify and reduce IT staff workload and mean time to repair with intuitive, GUI-based device configuration, and an industry-standard command-line interface (CLI). New front-panel stacking capabilities allow you to build a single-IP manageable device with up to eight switches utilizing standard copper or fiber Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and cables. Dynamic RIPv1/v2 standardsbased routing protocols ensure ease of setup, and eliminate the need to maintain static routing tables, reducing ongoing maintenance costs.

Outstanding Value

With their high-value price point, flexible design, and reduced maintenance requirements, NETGEAR's ProSafe 10/100 Layer 3 Stackable Switch solutions yield a high return on investment, and are ideal for delivering highly reliable, converged voice, video, and data services over a single network infrastructure.
