Enabling small and mid-sized businesses to effectively manage
bandwidth and security
NETGEAR ProSafe Advanced Smart Switches provide small and mid-sized companies with a
viable alternative to fully managed switches. This range of switches provide customers with all the
features typically found in fully managed switches, without adding complexity or additional costs.
Growing small and mid-sized companies rely on their network to provide the foundation
for essential business applications: mission-critical data applications, security, Voice over IP
(VoIP), video-conferencing and much more. They need full-featured network switches that can
accommodate and manage growth, support the full range of network applications and secure
the network without the overhead and complexity of fully managed switches. The ProSafe
Gigabit Smart Switches with Static Routing deliver the scalability, flexibility, reliability, and
performance growing small and medium-sized businesses need in an affordable and
easy-to-manage package.
Each ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switch with Static Routing comes with 24 or 48 10/100/1000
ports with two or four shared SFP ports that provide high performance for bandwidth-intensive
applications like ERP and large file transfers. In addition, these switches support 32 static
routes to enable inter-VLAN routing and manage bandwidth more effectively by managing
broadcast storms, as well as tighter security. Finally, these switches come with a complete suite
of advanced features for more robust security, higher quality of service and high availability.
This switch is equipped with highly advanced features such as access control lists (ACL), 802.1x
port authentication, enhanced QoS, Auto-Voice VLAN, rate limiting and IGMP snooping among
others to provide a small and medium-sized business with a network that is geared for growth
while providing scalability and reliability.
An intuitive, web-browser interface provides simple yet comprehensive management, making
it a snap to fully realize the potential of the rich feature-set offered by these switches. Why
buy fully managed stackable network switches designed and priced for the enterprise?
NETGEAR ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switches with Static Routing are designed for small and
growing businesses.

Organizations that deploy VLANs realize the benefits of restricting broadcast storms and
effective bandwidth management. However, for communication between VLANs, a router is
typically deployed in the core. This can present some inherent problems for network managers.
To begin with, an expensive router is required at the core. Moreover, the router has to handle
LAN and WAN traffic, as well as security. This can increase the burden on the router and slow
down the network considerably. By implementing the ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switch with Static
Routing, inter-VLAN communication can be off-loaded from the router, thereby making the
network run faster. Additionally network managers can also save time and resources by having
a less expensive router at the core.

These switches also provide advanced features that provide more robust security to the SMBs.
These include:
802.1x for authentication –
ACL filtering to permit or deny traffic based on MAC and/or IP addresses. –
Priority queuing ensures high-priority traffic gets delivered efficiently, even during congestion
from high traffic bursts. Companies implementing network telephony or video conferencing,
for example, need to be able to prioritize such voice and video traffic and other real-time
applications over less latency-sensitive traffic to ensure reliability and quality. The ability to
prioritize traffic ensures quality of latency-sensitive services and applications despite increasing
traffic loads. The ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switches with Static Routing provide an extensive
set of QoS features:
802.1p based prioritization –
Layer 3-based (DSCP, TOS) prioritization –
Layer 4-based (TCP/UDP port numbers) prioritization –
Auto-Voice VLAN –
Rate-limiting –
Manage all ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switches with Static Routing from an easy-to-use Web console
that can be used to configure all features, as well as monitor and troubleshoot. These switches
also have SNMP (v1, 2c and 3) to collect and track data to monitor the network health, as well
as manage devices, and more easily enforce critical IT controls and policies. SNMP v2c is most
commonly deployed, as it provides better reporting capabilities than SNMP v1. Companies
interested in more robust security may opt for SNMP v3, which provides data encryption.
All ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switches with Static Routing provide world-class reliability with
a lifetime warranty and optional ProSupport Maintenance Packages. These switches are
optimized for ProSafe Network Management Software (NMS100) and work with other
SNMP-based management software.
