Experience the most versatile and easy to manage switches
in the market

As a leading provider of network equipment for SMBs, NETGEAR® understands the
importance of reliable and high performance networks. With the growth of virtualization,
cloud-based services and applications like VoIP, video streaming and IP surveillance, SMB
networks need to extend beyond simple reliability to simpler management and remote
monitoring to ensure your network is “always up”. NETGEAR also understands that small
business owners shouldn’t have to understand networking and IT; they need a network
that’s easy-to-setup and is reliable, so they can focus on their business, not their
network. To that end, NETGEAR is introducing our most versatile and easy-to-manage
switches ever, NETGEAR Insight Managed Smart Cloud switches.

The Insight Managed Smart Cloud Gigabit Ethernet Switches are the first switches from NETGEAR with anywhere configuration and
management. Using either the NETGEAR Insight app on your mobile device or tablet, or the Insight Cloud Portal from your PC, Mac, or
tablet, you can quickly discover, setup, monitor and manage your Smart Cloud Switches from anywhere in the world! With their remote
cloud manageability, sleek design silent or whisper-quiet operation, they are the most versatile switches in the market for any environment.
Whether at home, out of the oce or on a business trip, you can still manage and monitor your network as if you were right there.

Innovative features for the most versatile and easy-to-manage switches in the market

Your network. Anytime. Anywhere.

The NETGEAR Insight Managed Smart Cloud
Switches fundamentally change the way you
think of networks and IT. Using the NETGEAR
Insight app with Insight Managed Smart Cloud
Switches and Wireless Access Points provides:

• Instant in-app discovery & set-up

• Local or remote conguration and
monitoring from your mobile device, PC,
Mac or tablet

• Centralized network conguration polices
with auto-join and congure (zero-touch
provisioning)

• Multi-site/remote network management and
monitoring with single pane-of-glass view

• Multi-switch/multi-port concurrent
conguration using the Port Cong Wizard

Remote monitoring and management from
the palm of your hand!

With the NETGEAR Insight app, you can setup,
manage, and monitor your networks from
anywhere, anytime, from the palm of your
hand on your phone or tablet! Or, for a larger
screen experience, you can use the Insight
Cloud Portal from your PC, Mac, or tablet
web browser.

Network-centric configuration and
management

NETGEAR Insight Managed Switches and
Wireless Access Points using the NETGEAR
Insight app allow for cross-device automated
conguration of VLANs, QoS, ACLs, and LAGs.
Auto-join and congure (zero-touch privisioning)
allows for additional devices added seamlessly.

Fully-integrated cloud-manageable devices

NETGEAR Insight Managed switches are
fully-integrated, cloud-manageable, plug-and­play devices. Just connect to your network
and without any setup, they’re passing trac.
For conguration setup, management, and
monitoring, you can use the Insight mobile app
on your mobile device or the Insight Cloud Portal
from your PC, Mac, or tablet web browser. No
additional cloud controller, appliance, network
manager, or on-premise cloud server necessary.

Clean, sleek silent (or whisper-quiet) designs

Insight Managed switches have a modern, clean
design, with at-a-glance cloud, power, fan, and
PoE max1 LEDs for quick status monitoring.
On-port LEDs for link/activity and PoE power1
allow for port-specic connectivity monitoring.

Connectivity options for every environment

GC728X and GC728XP have 24 copper
Gigabit Ethernet ports; GC752X and
GC752XP have 48 copper Gigabit Ethernet
ports. All models also have two dedicated
1G SFP ber ports, and two dedicated 10G
SFP+ ber ports for maximum connectivity.
On PoE+ models (GC728XP and GC752XP),
all Gigabit Ethernet copper ports suppor t
PoE or PoE+, with a PoE power budget of
390W (GC728XP) and 505W (GC752XP).
Dedicated Gigabit SFP and 10G SFP+ ports
provide ber uplinks for server interconnects
or across long distances, or can be used to
build dual redundancy by a trunked uplink
with link aggregation and failover.

NETGEAR Insight Managed Switches

• Extensive L2+/L3 Lite switching features
including static routing

• Comprehensive IPv6 management, QoS
and ACL support, ensuring investment
protection and a smooth migration to IPv6­based networking

Why Insight Managed Smart Cloud Switches?

NETGEAR is revolutionizing unified, centralized network management with it’s new line of Insight Managed Smart Cloud Switches and Wireless
Access Points, all managed from the palm of your hand, anytime, anywhere, on your phone or tablet using the NETGEAR Insight mobile app. Or, for a
larger screen experience, from your PC, Mac, or tablet web browser using the Insight Cloud Portal.

• Ideal for SMBs, oces, retail stores, education, healthcare, owner-operated businesses, etc.

• IT expert or no networking experience at all: Insight Managed Smart Cloud Switches let you focus on your business, not maintaining your network.

• Know immediately if and when your network is not running perfectly; not aer you’ve already lost business or suered signicant down-time.

• Advanced L2+/L3 Lite network features such as IPv4/IPv6 management, VLANs, DiServ QoS, LACP Link Aggregation, Spanning Tree, Static

Routing, advanced per-port PoE controls and PoE scheduling will satisfy even the most advanced small business networks.

• Fundamentally change and simplify network usability for easier and smoother deployment of voice, video, and WLAN on the same converged

platform.

• Industry-leading 5-year warranty on switches, 5-year Next-Business-Day (NBD) replacement, and 90-days free technical support** for peace-

of-mind. Extended ProSUPPORT service plans available for purchase.

Within small and medium-sized organizations, there is growing adoption of PoE devices such as VoIP phones, IP security cameras, wireless
access points, proximity sensors, LED lighting, door locks, and other IoT devices that require network switches capable of supporting dense PoE
installations. Wireless access points and pan-tilt-zoom HD cameras using Wave 2 802.11ac Wi-Fi also require PoE+ power (802.3at), increasing the
power demands on PoE switches. With a generous power budget of 390W (GC728XP) and 505W (GC752XP), the PoE versions are designed to
meet the current and future needs of wireless converged networks.
