Netgear XSM7224L-10000S – Layer 3 License for M7300-24XF (XSM7224S)
What is the Netgear XSM7224L-10000S Layer 3 license?
The Netgear XSM7224L-10000S is the Layer 3 upgrade license for the NETGEAR ProSAFE M7300-24XF (XSM7224S), a 24-port 10 Gigabit stackable Layer 2+ managed switch. With the license applied, Netgear positions the XSM7224S for Layer 2/Layer 3 core switching, adding RIP, OSPF, VRRP and multicast routing. It is a license only; no hardware ships.
How does the Netgear XSM7224L work?
The license is applied to an installed XSM7224S, which provides 24 SFP+ 10 Gigabit ports and 4 combo 10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports, with physical stacking of up to 4 switches in a dual-ring topology (80 Gbps full duplex). The license turns that 10G fiber platform into a routed core for campus, data center or media networks.
Netgear lists the features it adds: IPv4/IPv6 dynamic unicast routing, RIP v1/v2, OSPF v2/v3 with 4-path ECMP and graceful restart, 64 VRRP instances, 64 IPv6 static routes, IPv6 tunnels, an IPv6 DHCP server and relay, and IPv4/IPv6 multicast routing with PIM-SM, PIM-DM and DVMRP across up to 1,024 IP multicast groups.
For SFP+ optics on the XSM7224S, Creation Networks stocks the Netgear AXM761 10GBASE-SR and AXM762 10GBASE-LR modules. For a new 10G core, see the Netgear M4300-24X.
