NETGEAR XSM4348CS-100NES M4300-48X MANAGED SWITCH

Product Overview

The NETGEAR M4300-48X (XSM4348CS-100NES) is a high-density 48-port 10G managed switch built for server aggregation, stackable Layer 3 cores, and high-bandwidth AV-over-IP. This stackable Layer 3 switch combines 48 10G ports with four 10G SFP+ ports in a single 1RU chassis and is part of the SDVoE-Ready M4300 series. It delivers license-free L2/L3/L4 services for SMB cores and data closets, with mixed 40G/10G/1G line-rate stacking and NSF high availability.

Product Description

The M4300-48X concentrates 48 10G connections plus four 10G SFP+ ports into one rack unit, making it a dense aggregation and core platform for servers, storage, and edge switches. The entire L2/L3/L4 feature set is included with no license required, covering static, policy-based, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, and PIM routing for both IT and AV designs. As an SDVoE-Ready switch with Zero-Touch IGMP multicast, it supports uncompressed AV-over-IP video distribution alongside data traffic. Mixed 40G/10G/1G line-rate stacking with NSF and hitless failover lets multiple units operate as a single logical switch with redundant control, suiting spine-and-leaf and collapsed-core topologies. The switch is OpenFlow 1.3 and SDN-ready and supports tiered Dot1x, MAB, and Captive Portal security. Management is handled through a single pane via NETGEAR NMS300, with CLI, GUI, SNMP, sFlow, and RSPAN for monitoring and troubleshooting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the M4300-48X stackable?
Yes. It supports mixed 40G/10G/1G line-rate stacking with NSF and hitless failover, allowing multiple units to operate as a single logical switch with redundant control.

Does it require licenses for Layer 3 routing?
No. The full L2/L3/L4 feature set, including static, policy-based, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, and PIM routing, is included with no license required.

Can it carry AV-over-IP video?
Yes. It is SDVoE-Ready with Zero-Touch IGMP multicast for uncompressed AV-over-IP video distribution alongside data traffic.

Does the M4300-48X provide PoE?
No. This model is non-PoE and is designed for 10G aggregation and core roles rather than powering endpoints directly.

What warranty and management tools are included?
It is backed by the NETGEAR ProSAFE limited lifetime hardware warranty and managed through NETGEAR NMS300 plus CLI, GUI, SNMP, sFlow, and RSPAN. Contact our team for support details.
