NETGEAR M4300-16X - Managed 16-Port 10GBASE-T PoE+ Switch, Black

The NETGEAR M4300-16X is a 16-port 10GBASE-T Layer 3 managed switch. It features 16 copper RJ-45 ports, each supporting 10 Gbps data rates. With a switching capacity of 320 Gbit/s and a forwarding rate of 238 Mpps, the switch handles high-volume traffic. An 800 MHz processor and 1,024 MB of memory manage internal operations, providing stable routing and switching for professional environments.

Designed for standard rack mounting, the 1U chassis operates at a noise level of 35 dB. The integrated power supply provides a 500 W PoE+ budget, capable of delivering up to 30 W per port to connected devices. Administrators can use Layer 3 routing protocols, such as OSPF and RIP, alongside 64 static routes to manage internal traffic. Security features include access control lists (ACL), MAC-based authentication, and support for up to 4,093 VLANs. For network expansion, the system supports stacking up to eight identical units.

• 16,000-entry MAC address table for tracking hardware across large network segments.
• IGMP snooping and filtering for up to 4,000 multicast groups to manage concurrent media streams.
• Local configuration via an integrated RJ-45/Mini-USB console port and a standard USB 2.0 slot.
• Jumbo frame support up to 9,000 bytes, reducing packet overhead during large data transfers between servers.
• Maximum power consumption of 610 W under full processing and power delivery load.
