NETGEAR M4300-24X24F/US/EMEA managed 10G Ethernet (100/1000/10000) 1U grigio

The NETGEAR M4300-24X24F (XSM4348S-100NES) is a managed 10G Ethernet switch offering 24 10G ports in a 1U form factor, designed for mid-enterprise edge and SMB core deployments. It supports IPv4/IPv6, L2/L3/L4 features, full PoE+ capabilities across the M4300 series, VLAN, DHCP, and advanced routing protocols. The switch can stack with other M4300 models, including mixed 10G and 1G devices, enabling spine-and-leaf, line-rate stacking topologies and high-availability stack operation with non-stop forwarding and hitless failover.

Advantages

The M4300-24X24F provides flexible stacking between 10G and 1G models using any 10G port (RJ45, SFP+, or DAC), dual-redundant modular power options on full-width models, and a comprehensive L3 feature set (static, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, PIM, policy-based routing) available without additional licensing. Management options include CLI, NETGEAR GUI, SNMP, sFlow and RSPAN, plus centralized management via NMS300. The series is covered by NETGEAR ProSafe Lifetime Hardware Warranty with technical support channels and next-business-day hardware replacement.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack deployments in data centers and server rooms
• Campus or branch edge switches handling wireless access, unified communications and IP video
• SMB core switches requiring 10G aggregation and stacking
• Environments needing mixed 1G/10G stacking and high availability

How to use

Install the M4300-24X24F in a standard 19" rack (1U). Connect 10G endpoints using appropriate media (RJ45, SFP+, or DAC). Configure basic network settings via the web GUI or CLI: assign management IP, create VLANs, enable DHCP/BootP automation if required, and set routing protocols needed for your topology. For stacked deployments, connect stack links between M4300 units, enable stack mode and verify non-stop forwarding settings for high availability. Use NMS300 for centralized firmware updates and mass-configuration where available.

Recommendations

For mixed 1G/10G environments, use any available 10G port for stacking to simplify migration to 10G. Enable NSF and hitless failover in stacked deployments to maintain forwarding during master switch failover. Use centralized management (NMS300) for consistent configuration and firmware lifecycle control.
