Netgear GS728TPP-300NAS ProSAFE 24-port 1000base-T Gigabit PoE+ Smart Switch

Product Overview

The NETGEAR GS728TPP-300NAS is a 24-port Gigabit PoE+ smart managed Pro switch built for SMB and commercial AV networks that need dense Power over Ethernet with a configurable Layer 2/Layer 3 Lite feature set. It pairs 24 PoE+ copper ports with a 380W power budget and four dedicated SFP slots for fiber uplinks and redundancy. Network managers can run VLAN segmentation, per-port PoE scheduling, and IPv4/IPv6 static routing through a web GUI or NETGEAR Insight remote/cloud management. This NETGEAR 24-port PoE+ smart switch suits VoIP, IP camera, and wireless access point deployments where centralized control matters.

Product Description

The GS728TPP delivers a 380W PoE+ budget across all 24 Gigabit copper ports, giving integrators headroom to power higher-draw endpoints such as PTZ cameras, multi-radio access points, and IP phones without an external power injector. Four dedicated SFP ports add fiber uplinks plus uplink redundancy and failover for improved availability. The smart managed Pro feature set includes advanced VLANs and Private VLANs, L2/L3/L4 ACLs with 802.1x port authentication, DiffServ QoS, LACP link aggregation, and Spanning Tree. For multicast and AV-over-IP traffic, the switch supports IGMP Snooping with Querier and Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR). Temperature- and load-based fan-speed control keeps the GS728TPP rated at 33.42dB even at full PoE load with traffic on all ports at 25C (77F) ambient. NETGEAR Insight enables remote or cloud configuration from the Insight app or web portal, and dual firmware images improve uptime during upgrades.

Key Features

• 24 PoE+ ports, 380W budget — Powers dense deployments of access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and IoT endpoints over a single cable run.
• Four dedicated SFP slots — Provide fiber uplinks plus uplink redundancy and failover to improve link reliability.
• Layer 3 static routing — Supports 32 IPv4 and IPv6 routes for inter-VLAN local routing without a separate router.
• Advanced VLAN and Private VLAN — Segments traffic for tighter security and cleaner network design across departments or AV zones.
• L2/L3/L4 ACLs with 802.1x — Apply granular access control and port-based authentication to lock down edge ports.
• Per-port PoE scheduling — Remotely power-cycle and schedule PoE devices such as APs, cameras, lighting, and door locks.
• IGMP Snooping, Querier and MVR — Optimize multicast and support AV-over-IP distribution across larger Layer 2 networks.
• Advanced QoS — Port-based, 802.1p, and L2/L3/L4 DSCP prioritization to protect latency-sensitive voice and video.
• NETGEAR Insight remote/cloud management — Configure and monitor from the Insight app or cloud portal, with a web GUI for local management.
• Quiet operation with managed fans — Temperature- and load-based fan control rated at 33.42dB for rack environments.
• SNMP v1/v2c/v3 and RMON — Integrate with existing monitoring platforms including NETGEAR NMS300.
• Energy Efficient Ethernet (802.3az) — Reduces power consumption on idle and lightly loaded links.

Typical Applications

• Conference room — Powers and segments cameras, displays, and VoIP endpoints with VLAN isolation.
• Training room — Supports multiple wireless access points and IP devices on a single PoE+ switch.
• House of worship — Distributes PoE to cameras and audio endpoints with multicast optimization for video.
• Commercial meeting space — Centralizes managed switching for AV and IT traffic with QoS prioritization.
• Government space — Applies ACLs and 802.1x authentication for controlled network access.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GS728TPP-300NAS a fully managed switch?
It is a smart managed Pro switch. It offers configurable Layer 2 features plus Layer 3 Lite static routing, advanced VLANs, ACLs, and QoS, managed through a web GUI or NETGEAR Insight, rather than a full CLI-driven enterprise switch.

How many PoE devices can it support?
All 24 ports deliver PoE+ (802.3at) within a shared 380W budget. Actual device count depends on the per-device draw; the switch auto-allocates power and supports per-port scheduling.

Can it handle AV-over-IP or multicast video?
Yes. It supports IGMP Snooping with Querier and Multicast VLAN Registration to optimize multicast distribution, with QoS to prioritize latency-sensitive traffic.

What can I use the SFP ports for?
The four dedicated SFP slots accept fiber transceivers for uplinks, and they also provide uplink redundancy and failover to improve availability.

What warranty and support are included?
The product body lists a NETGEAR limited lifetime warranty with Next Business Day replacement and 90 days of free 24x7 advanced technical phone support.
