NETGEAR AV Line M4250-10G2F-PoE+ - Managed Layer 2/Layer 3 Switch, Black

The NETGEAR AV Line M4250-10G2F-PoE+ is a managed L2/L3 switch designed for networks requiring dedicated bandwidth control and power delivery. The model features eight 1 Gigabit RJ45 ports alongside two SFP slots for fiber uplinks. It provides a total switching capacity of 24 Gbit/s and a hardware forwarding rate of 17.86 Mpps, allowing for simultaneous full-duplex traffic across all connected devices. Network administrators can use this capacity to segment multicast traffic, such as AV-over-IP workflows or IP camera arrays, across the local area network.

Housed in a 1U rack-mountable chassis, the 10-port switch fits into standard 19-inch server racks and operates at a noise level of 30.06 dB. Eight of the copper ports support Power over Ethernet Plus, sharing a 150 W total power budget to supply up to 30 W per port to connected hardware such as wireless access points or display decoders. Device management is available via a web GUI or a command-line interface, with physical console access provided through dual RJ-45 and USB-C ports. Traffic control is managed by Layer 3 routing protocols, including static IP routing, RIP, and protocol-independent multicast (PIM). This local routing capability allows the hardware to process inter-VLAN communication internally, reducing the load on external gateway routers.

• Support for up to 4,093 simultaneous active VLANs—including MAC-based, Private, and Voice variants—for logical network segmentation.
• ARM Cortex-A9 1250 MHz CPU paired with 2,048 MB of internal memory and a 16 MB packet buffer.
• MAC address table capacity of 16,000 entries for enterprise network deployments.
• DHCP capabilities including integrated server functions, DHCP snooping, and Option 82 relay to assist with IP address management.
• Mean time between failures (MTBF) of 778,769 hours.
• Processing latency of 2.27 µs at Gigabit speeds for time-sensitive data transfers and streaming media.
