The world's first 1G and 10G virtual chassis platform with 10G stacking, designed for the network edge and core of small and medium-sized enterprises. The M4300 series scales from 24 Gigabit ports to 48 ports of 10GbE, providing reliable spine-and-leaf and edge-to-core connectivity for unified wired and wireless networks. The NETGEAR M4300 stackable switch series delivers cost-effective L2/L3/L4 and IPv4/IPv6 services for the network edge and core of small and medium-sized businesses, with unmatched ease of use: 10-Gigabit models can be seamlessly stacked with 1-Gigabit models within the series, enabling line-rate spine-and-leaf stacking topologies. Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF) virtual chassis architectures ensure enhanced high availability (HA) with hitless failover in the stack. Two redundant power supply modules in the full-width models contribute to business continuity management. The Layer 3 feature set includes static, dynamic, and policy-based routing as standard. The NETGEAR M4300 switch series is perfectly suited for wireless access, unified communications, and IP video. Additionally, it is future-proof as it supports Software-defined Networking (SDN) and OpenFlow 1.3 in your network. Best-in-class stacking: The M4300 is designed for flexible mixed stacking with 10-Gigabit and 1-Gigabit models, using 10G ports of any type (RJ45, SFP+, DAC cables). High availability is another key differentiator for stackable solutions: In the event of a master switch failure, Non-Stop Forwarding and hitless failover ensure that the standby switch takes over while the forwarding layer continues to direct traffic to the operational stack members—without service interruption. Greater flexibility: Two half-width M4300 switches can be combined.
