Netgear GSM4212PX-100NAS M4250-10G2XF-POE+ AV Switch

Product Overview

The NETGEAR M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ AV switch (GSM4212PX-100NAS) is a compact AV-over-IP switch built for professional media networks. This 8-port PoE+ AV switch adds two 1G/10G SFP+ fiber uplinks, color-coded AV profiles, and NETGEAR IGMP Plus to simplify multicast video and audio distribution. It supports Dante, NDI, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI workflows on a single Layer 2/Layer 3 platform. Creation Networks supplies the GSM4212PX-100NAS configured for low-latency deployment in commercial AV installations.

Product Description

Engineered from the ground up for AV-over-IP, the M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ pairs eight 1G PoE+ copper ports (240W PoE budget) with two 1G copper uplinks and two 1G/10G SFP+ fiber ports, delivering a 60 Gbps non-blocking fabric in a compact 1U chassis. The two 10G SFP+ uplinks give edge AV racks the headroom to aggregate multiple 1G video streams toward a core switch. Pre-configured audio and video profiles let integrators assign ports by signal type rather than hand-building VLANs and multicast rules, reducing commissioning time and configuration errors. A dedicated AV web GUI presents the switch in AV terms, while a parallel IT GUI, CLI, and SNMP keep network administrators in familiar territory. NETGEAR IGMP Plus manages Layer-2 multicast without the complexity of PIM, and PTPv2 supports tight clock synchronization for networked audio. Reversible front- or rear-facing port mounting, selectable fan modes, and VESA/clamp mounting points make the unit straightforward to integrate into AV racks and furniture.

Key Features

• Dedicated AV web GUI — Color-coded, port-based AV profiles let integrators provision audio, video, and control signals quickly with fewer configuration errors.
• 8x 1G PoE+ with 240W budget — Powers cameras, displays, and access points over eight Gigabit copper ports rated for 802.3af/at PoE+.
• Dual 10G SFP+ uplinks — Two 1G/10G SFP+ fiber ports aggregate edge AV traffic toward a core switch.
• Audio profiles — Built-in support for Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, and AVB (AVB license sold separately) for installed and live sound.
• Video profiles — Profiles for Crestron NVX, AMX SVSI, Q-SYS, NDI, and Dante, plus mixed audio/video/control profiles.
• NETGEAR IGMP Plus — Layer-2 multicast management without PIM, simplifying AV-over-IP video distribution across interconnected switches.
• Auto-Trunk and Auto-LAG — Plug-and-play interconnect for multi-switch deployments.
• Full L2/L3 engine — Static, RIP, and PIM routing, DHCP server, and PTPv2 clock synchronization.
• Flexible mounting and cooling — Reversible front/rear port mounting, selectable fan modes (fanless / quiet / cool), and VESA/clamp mounting points.
• Comprehensive management — AV GUI plus IT GUI, CLI, SNMP, sFlow, and RSPAN, with centralized control via NETGEAR NMS300.

Typical Applications

• Huddle room — Compact PoE+ switching for a small set of AV endpoints.
• Conference room — Dante and NVX endpoints for meeting and presentation systems.
• House of worship — PoE+ for cameras, displays, and networked audio.
• Broadcast studio — NDI and SVSI codec workflows with 10G aggregation to a core.
• Training room — Networked video and audio to displays and capture devices.
• Commercial meeting space — Mixed audio/video/control profiles for edge AV racks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which AV-over-IP platforms does the M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ support?
It ships with profiles for Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB (license required), Crestron NVX, AMX SVSI, and NDI, plus mixed audio/video/control profiles.

What are the 10G ports for?
The two 1G/10G SFP+ fiber ports serve as high-bandwidth uplinks to aggregate edge AV traffic toward a core switch.

How much PoE does this switch provide?
The eight Gigabit copper ports support 802.3af/at PoE+ with a 240W total power budget across the switch.

Do I need PIM to run multicast video?
No. NETGEAR IGMP Plus manages multicast at Layer 2 across interconnected switches, so you can distribute AV-over-IP video without configuring PIM.

What warranty is included?
The GSM4212PX is covered by NETGEAR's ProSAFE limited lifetime hardware warranty.
