<p>The <strong>NETGEAR Smart Switches</strong> are designed to support essential L2 and L2+ functionalities for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). With advanced features such as <strong>Power over Ethernet (PoE)</strong>, these switches provide enhanced performance and usability, making them ideal for converged networks that transmit voice, video, and data over a single platform. The Smart Switch series offers configurations ranging from 8 to 52 ports, available in both <strong>Fast Ethernet</strong> and <strong>Gigabit Ethernet</strong> options, all equipped with <strong>Gigabit SFP ports</strong> for establishing high-speed fibre connections. This versatility ensures that businesses can achieve optimal efficiency and cost savings while simplifying network management.</p><br> <p>These switches are specifically engineered for converged networks, catering to both large and small enterprises. The <strong>Auto Voice VLAN</strong> feature facilitates quick and reliable deployment of VoIP services, while the <strong>Auto Video VLAN</strong> accelerates the implementation of IP-based surveillance systems. With static routing capabilities, the switches efficiently manage internal traffic, enhancing resource utilisation. Additionally, advanced multicast filtering through <strong>IGMP and MLD snooping</strong> ensures effective data management. The robust performance is supported by a non-blocking architecture, accommodating up to <strong>8000 MAC addresses</strong>, <strong>256 VLANs</strong>, and <strong>1024 multicast groups</strong>, making these switches a reliable choice for future-proof networking.</p><br> <p>NETGEAR's commitment to innovation is evident in the extensive management capabilities, including <strong>IPv6</strong> support, <strong>Quality of Service (QoS)</strong> features, and access control lists (ACLs) that protect investments and facilitate seamless migration to IPv6-based networks. All models support <strong>PoE+</strong>, with the GS728TPP model providing PoE+ on all ports, allowing for the integration of high-power devices such as video intercoms and PTZ cameras. The inclusion of <strong>Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE802.3az)</strong> technology ensures future energy savings as more EEE-compliant end devices enter the market, solidifying NETGEAR's position as a leader in network solutions.</p><br>...
