Netgear GS728TXP S3300-28X Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch (2-10G Cooper + 2-10G SFP Port)

Specification

Description

S3300 True Stacking

NETGEAR stacking feature provides resilient network architecture: up to six (6) S3300 switches can be stacked with a single management IP address, which simplifies network operations. VLAN and QoS can be managed in a unified fashion across the stack.

Up to 288 Gigabit access ports and 12 available 10-Gigabit uplinks offer support for high-density developments as well as flexibility for future network expansion need.

The S3300 architecture offers a 40Gbps bi-directional stacking backplane with two (2) 10G stacking ports per switch, built-in redundancy and auto-failover. The stacking capability allows for master and slave switches with a secondary master as back-up. The backup master can quickly take over the failed master switch function. Failed switches can be hot-swapped with the rest of the switches in the stack unaffected and operational.

Please note that stacking is supported at 10-Gigabit speeds (with either 10GBASE-T Copper or SFP+ Fiber modules) only. 1G stacking is not supported.

Now stacking with 10G switches: for additional 10G connectivity, S3300 switches can stack with M4300-12X12X and M4300-24X 10G models. M4300 switches scale down to S3300 feature set when mixed stacking. Four (4) 10G stacking ports per switch can be used on each M4300 model running S3300 code. S3300 1G models can still use two (2) 10G stacking ports when mixed stacking, the stacking topology remains the same.
