The increase in mobility, voice and video combined with virtualization and the doubling of data every 2 years are some of the main drivers for bottlenecks that are occurring in parts of the network not previously seen with Gigabit connectivity.
10-Gigabit is the new Gigabit!

SWITCH MANAGEMENT TYPES BY NETGEAR

Choose the right management style that works for your next deployment

image description
Plus Switch (“E”) Set priority for voice, video and other data traffic for enhanced service and performance compared to unmanaged switches

10G Plus Switches provide plug-and-play connectivity, in addition to configurable L2 network features in order to meet current and future needs on virtualization, converged networking and mobility. Some of the main features include:

  • VLAN support for traffic segmentation including port-based and 802.1Qbased
  • QoS (Quality of Service) for traffic prioritization including port-based and 802.1p/DSCPbased
  • Auto "denial of service" (DoS) prevention
  • IGMP snooping support for multicast optimization
  • Loop detection and broadcast storm controls
  • Rate limiting and priority queuing for better bandwidth allocation
  • Port mirroring for network monitoring
  • Port trunking/link aggregation (LAG) allows for increased throughput beyond 10G or to provide redundancy across the link(s)

Smart Switches (“T”) Advanced management for enhanced services
(essential QoS, L3 routing).

NETGEAR Smart Switches features
All Plus features, plus:

  • Advanced VLAN features such as Protocol-based VLAN, MAC-based (Media Access Control) VLAN and 802.1x Guest VLAN
  • Advanced QoS (Quality of Service) with L2/ L3/L4 awareness and 8 priority queues
  • Essential IPv4 and IPv6 L3 static routing (no resiliency, no load balancing)
  • Private VLAN with dynamic VLAN assignment
  • IGMP and MLD snooping
  • Advanced Security
  • IPv6 for management, QoS and ACL
  • DHCP L2 relay
