- The M4300-8X8F half-width switch provides 8-port 10GBASE-T and 8-port 10GBASE-X SFP+
- All (16) 10G ports are independent and 1G backward compatible for progressive transition to 10G speeds
- With 320Gbps non-blocking fabric, M4300-8X8F delivers L2/L3/L4 and IPv4/IPv6 rich services for virtualization (Auto-iSCSI prioritization), server / storage interconnect and SMB core applications
- Virtual Chassis stacking provides non-stop forwarding (NSF) and hitless failover for highest availability (HA)
- Two half-width M4300 10GbE models can be paired in a single rack space for redundant top-of-rack and active-active server installations
The NETGEAR M4300 Switch Series delivers L2/L3/L4 and IPv4/IPv6 rich services for enterprise edge and SMB aggregation deployments with unrivaled ease of use: 10 Gigabit models can seamlessly stack with 1 Gigabit models within the series. Non-stop forwarding virtual chassis architectures provide advanced High Availability (HA) with hitless failover, that is, distributed link aggregation allows for load balancing and virtually zero downtime. License-free L3 feature set includes static routing, policy-based routing, RIP, VRRP, OSpiv as well as Multicast PIM routing. The NETGEAR M4300 Switch Series is ready for the future, with Software-defined Network (SDN) and OpenFlow 1.3 enabled for your network.
M4300-8X8F comes with 8 ports 10GBASE-T and 8 ports 10GBASE-X SFP+ in a half-width form factor. All 16 ports are independent and 1G backward compatible for progressive transition to 10G speeds. Ideal for server and storage aggregation: two half-width M4300 switches can be installed in a single rack space. M4300-8X8F is line-rate with 320Gbps fabric for SMB core applications as well as spine and leaf stacking architectures.
