NETGEAR M4300-16X
The NETGEAR M4300-16X is a high-performance half-width stackable managed switch engineered for mid-enterprise edge, SMB core, and AV-over-IP deployments requiring high-density multi-gigabit PoE+ connectivity in a compact form factor. Delivering 16 x multi-gigabit RJ-45 ports supporting 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G speeds with PoE+ at up to 30W per port, it provides 320 Gbps of non-blocking switching capacity with a forwarding rate of 238 Mpps. With a 199W PoE budget on the 299W PSU model and 500W on the 600W PSU model, it is ideal for powering Wi-Fi 6E access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones. NSF virtual chassis stacking supports up to 8 units with hitless failover, seamlessly stacking with other M4300 1G and 10G models in spine-and-leaf topologies. SDVoE-ready with IGMP Plus for zero-touch AV-over-IP multicast management. Layer 3 feature set includes OSPF, RIP, VRRP, PIM, and policy-based routing with no license required. ACL, 802.1X, DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, and DoS protection deliver enterprise-class security. Managed via Web GUI, CLI, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, SSH, and SSL/TLS.
