Netgear GSM7328FL-10000S – Software License Upgrade for GSM7328FS S...
What is the Netgear GSM7328FL-10000S license upgrade?
The Netgear GSM7328FL-10000S is a software license upgrade for the NETGEAR ProSAFE GSM7328FS, a 24-port SFP Gigabit Layer 3 managed stackable switch. It is purchased by organizations that already run GSM7328FS switches in fiber aggregation or campus core roles and need to unlock additional routing capability on that installed hardware. It is a license only; no hardware ships.
How does the Netgear GSM7328FL work?
The license is applied to an existing GSM7328FS switch. Netgear's GSM7328FS data sheet describes a switch with 24 SFP slots for fiber Gigabit connections, 4 RJ-45 10/100/1000 ports, and 10 Gigabit / 24G stacking module bays, with stacking of up to 8 units over a 48 Gbps bi-directional ring. Its base Layer 3 software already includes VLAN and port routing, RIP v1/v2, OSPF v2 with ECMP, and VRRP.
The GSM7328FL is the license upgrade sold for this platform to extend that routing feature set. Netgear no longer publishes a product page for the license itself, so before ordering, confirm with our network team that the license matches your switch's hardware version and firmware and that it unlocks the specific features you need.
If you are planning a refresh rather than extending legacy hardware, current fully managed Netgear switches such as the M4300 series include Layer 3 routing in a modern platform.
