NETGEAR GSM4212P-100NAS M4250-10G2F-POE+ AV SWITCH PERP

Product Overview

The NETGEAR M4250-10G2F-PoE+ (GSM4212P-100NAS) is a compact, fully managed AV Line switch engineered from the ground up for AV-over-IP transport. It pairs eight 1G PoE+ copper ports with a 125W power budget, two 1G copper uplinks, and two 1G SFP fiber ports across a 24 Gbps non-blocking fabric in a 1U chassis. With pre-configured audio and video profiles, a dedicated AV web GUI, and NETGEAR IGMP Plus, this M4250 AV switch lets integrators deploy reliable, low-latency media networks for professional installations. It is a purpose-built networked AV switch for Dante, NDI, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI workflows.

Product Description

NETGEAR built the M4250 AV Line specifically for AV professionals, replacing generic IT switch configuration with color-coded, port-based AV profiles selected through a dedicated AV web GUI. The GSM4212P ships pre-configured for standard audio and video signals, so an installer can map ports to Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB (license sold separately), Crestron NVX, AMX SVSI, or NDI in minutes rather than building VLAN and multicast configurations by hand. Eight 1G PoE+ ports deliver 802.3af/at power within a 125W budget for cameras, displays, and endpoints, while two 1G copper ports and two 1G SFP fiber ports provide flexible uplinks across the 24 Gbps non-blocking fabric spanning all 12 ports. A full Layer 2 and Layer 3 engine adds static, RIP, and PIM routing, a DHCP server, and PTPv2 timing for synchronized media. NETGEAR IGMP Plus delivers Layer 2 multicast handling for AV-over-IP without requiring PIM, and Auto-Trunk and Auto-LAG simplify multi-switch interconnect. Reversible front- or rear-facing port mounting, selectable fan modes, and VESA and clamp mounting points support clean integration into AV racks and furniture. The switch is backed by NETGEAR's ProSAFE limited lifetime hardware warranty.

Key Features

• Dedicated AV web GUI — Color-coded, port-based AV profiles for fast, error-free setup without manual VLAN and multicast configuration.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What AV-over-IP platforms does the M4250-10G2F-PoE+ support?
It ships with pre-configured profiles for Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, and AVB audio (AVB license sold separately) and for Crestron NVX, AMX SVSI, Q-SYS, NDI, and Dante video.

How is it easier to deploy than a standard managed switch?
A dedicated AV web GUI applies color-coded, port-based AV profiles, so installers map ports to a workflow rather than building VLAN, QoS, and multicast configurations manually.

How does it handle multicast for AV-over-IP?
NETGEAR IGMP Plus provides Layer 2 multicast handling tuned for AV traffic without requiring PIM, and the switch also supports PTPv2 for media timing.

How much PoE power is available?
The eight PoE+ ports support 802.3af/at within a 125W total PoE budget for cameras, displays, and endpoints.

What warranty applies?
The switch is covered by NETGEAR's ProSAFE limited lifetime hardware warranty.

Can it mount cleanly in an AV rack or under furniture?
Yes. It is 1U rack-mountable with reversible front/rear port mounting, selectable fan modes, and VESA and clamp mounting points.
