Netgear XSM4324CS-100NES M4300-24X 24-Port 10G Managed Network Switch with SFP+

Product Overview

The NETGEAR XSM4324CS-100NES is the M4300-24X, a stackable Layer 3 managed switch built for 10G aggregation and AV-over-IP backbones. This M4300-24X 10G managed switch delivers twenty-four 10GBASE-T copper ports plus four 10G shared SFP+ ports, with 480 Gb/s of non-blocking switching capacity and a 357 Mpps forwarding rate. As part of the M4300 stackable series, it provides IPv4/IPv6 L2/L3/L4 services for server aggregation, wireless, unified communications, and SDVoE video distribution.

Product Description

The M4300-24X provides 24 10GBASE-T RJ45 ports for high-density copper aggregation, with four of the ports shared as 10G SFP+ slots for fiber distribution and stacking. With 480 Gb/s of non-blocking capacity and a 357 Mpps forwarding rate, it handles server, storage, and edge-switch aggregation with low latency. The switch runs a full Layer 3 image with no license required, supporting static, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, and PIM routing alongside 4000 VLANs and 9K jumbo frames. M4300 models stack with mixed 40G, 10G, and 1G members, enabling spine-and-leaf topologies and non-stop forwarding with hitless failover for high availability. For AV integrators, the M4300-24X is SDVoE-Ready with Zero-Touch multicast and IGMP snooping for uncompressed Video-over-IP. Management spans CLI, GUI, SNMP, sFlow, and RSPAN, with NMS300 providing single-pane oversight across the stack.

Key Features

• 24x 10GBASE-T copper ports — high-density 10G RJ45 aggregation for servers, storage, and edge switches.
• 4x 10G shared SFP+ ports — fiber distribution and stacking links shared with four copper ports.
• 480 Gb/s non-blocking capacity — 357 Mpps forwarding rate for line-rate 10G throughput.
• Full Layer 3 services — static, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, and PIM routing with no license required.
• Mixed-speed stacking — stack with 40G, 10G, and 1G M4300 models for spine-and-leaf designs.
• Non-stop forwarding — NSF and hitless failover keep the stack forwarding during member transitions.
• SDVoE-Ready — Zero-Touch multicast and IGMP snooping for uncompressed AV-over-IP video.
• 4000 VLANs and 9K jumbo frames — scale segmentation and large-frame transport for storage and media.
• 1RU management-rich design — CLI, GUI, SNMP, sFlow, RSPAN, and NMS300 single-pane oversight.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio — SDVoE uncompressed video distribution backbones with low-latency 10G transport.
• Auditorium — high-bandwidth AV-over-IP aggregation feeding processors and displays.
• Commercial meeting space — converged QoS-rich networks for wireless and unified communications.
• All-hands room — stackable Layer 3 distribution for large multi-room video systems.
• Government space — IPv4/IPv6 L3 services with VRRP redundancy for resilient distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the SFP+ ports in addition to the 24 copper ports?
The four 10G SFP+ ports are shared with four of the 10GBASE-T copper ports, so you use either the copper or the SFP+ slot on those four port pairs.

Does the M4300-24X require a license for Layer 3 routing?
No. The full Layer 3 feature set, including OSPF, VRRP, and PIM, is included with no separate license.

Can it stack with other M4300 switches?
Yes. M4300 models stack with mixed 40G, 10G, and 1G members for spine-and-leaf topologies, with non-stop forwarding and hitless failover across the stack.

Is it suitable for SDVoE AV-over-IP?
Yes. The M4300-24X is SDVoE-Ready with Zero-Touch multicast and IGMP snooping for uncompressed Video-over-IP distribution.

What warranty does it carry?
The M4300 series is backed by NETGEAR's ProSAFE limited lifetime hardware warranty.
