Netgear GSM4230PX-TAANAS M4250-26G4XF-POE+ MANAGED SWITCH (TAA compliant)

Product Overview

The NETGEAR M4250-26G4XF-PoE+ managed switch (GSM4230PX-TAANAS) is a TAA-compliant AV switch engineered for AV-over-IP distribution in secure and regulated environments. It combines 24 Gigabit PoE+ copper ports with four 1G/10G SFP+ fiber uplinks, giving integrators a single platform for powering endpoints and trunking video traffic. As a TAA-compliant model, this NETGEAR GSM4230PX-TAANAS suits U.S. federal, government, and public-sector procurement. Pre-configured AV profiles and a dedicated AV web GUI shorten commissioning time for Dante, Q-SYS, NDI, and Crestron NVX workflows.

Product Description

Built on NETGEAR's AV Line architecture, the M4250-26G4XF-PoE+ delivers a 132 Gbps non-blocking fabric across 30 ports with a full Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching engine. The port layout provides 24x 1G PoE+ RJ45 ports backed by a 480W PoE budget, two 1G copper uplinks, and four 1G/10G SFP+ fiber ports for fiber backbones or inter-switch links. NETGEAR IGMP Plus handles Layer-2 multicast for AV-over-IP without requiring PIM configuration, while Auto-Trunk and Auto-LAG simplify multi-switch interconnect. The dedicated AV GUI presents color-coded, port-based profiles so technicians can assign audio, video, and control roles without command-line work. A parallel IT GUI, CLI, SNMP, and sFlow give network teams the management depth they expect, and PTPv2 supports time-sensitive media. The unit is a 1U rack-mount design with reversible front/rear mounting and selectable fan modes for installation in mixed-orientation racks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GSM4230PX-TAANAS TAA compliant for government purchasing?
Yes. This SKU is a TAA-compliant build of the M4250-26G4XF-PoE+, intended for U.S. federal, government, and public-sector procurement.

What AV platforms does it support out of the box?
It ships with pre-configured profiles for Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, AMX SVSI, Crestron NVX, and NDI. AVB requires a separate license.

How much PoE power is available?
The 24 PoE+ ports support 802.3af/at and share a 480W total PoE budget. Size your endpoint power draw against this budget when planning.

Does it require PIM for AV-over-IP multicast?
No. NETGEAR IGMP Plus handles AV multicast at Layer 2, so you can deploy multi-switch AV-over-IP without configuring PIM.

What warranty is included?
The switch is backed by NETGEAR's ProSAFE limited lifetime hardware warranty.
