The NETGEAR ProSAFE M5300-28G (GSM7228S) is a next-generation edge managed switch designed for enterprise-class virtualization and converged networking. This 24-port Gigabit switch features embedded 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink connectivity and Virtual Chassis stacking technology, allowing up to 8 switches to be managed as a single logical unit. It offers a combination of 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T ports, 4 shared SFP ports for fiber connectivity, and four 10GbE ports (two 10GBASE-T and two SFP+). With a non-blocking fabric of 128 Gbps and Layer 2+ software (including static routing), it is ideal for server room access, campus LANs, and commercial buildings. The M5300-28G can be upgraded to full Layer 3 dynamic routing with an optional license, providing protocols like OSPF and VRRP for advanced network architectures.
