Gigabit L3 Managed Stackable Switches Data Sheet
GSM7328S, GSM7328FS, GSM7352S
Flexible, Stackable, High Speed Switching!
NETGEAR’s low-cost, stackable, Gigabit Ethernet switches deliver maximum throughput and
flexibility where you need it — to high-speed, high-density workgroups at the edge of the
network, in the backbone of growing networks or for bandwidth thirsty file and application
servers. The ProSafe GSM7328S and GSM7352S fully managed switches deliver 24 and 48
ports of auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps interfaces for high-density copper connectivity. Four
(GSM7328S) or eight (GSM7352S) hot-swappable Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) gigabit
interfaces provide optional fiber connectivity for longer reach Gigabit Ethernet requirements.
For high-density fiber installations, the GSM7328FS delivers 24 hot-swappable SFP Gigabit
interfaces for fiber connectivity and 4 combo ports of auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps
interfaces for copper connectivity. All switches have four high-speed, module bays offering
modular expansion for 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 24 Gigabit Stacking connectivity. The nonblocking design of the switches delivers simultaneous, full wire-speed, low-latency throughput
to all ports.
A full suite of Layer 3 switching functionality ensures reliable routing between VLANs and
network segmentation where and when you need it, at no additional cost. By configuring the
switches into a stack of up to 8 units across a 48 Gbps bi-directional ring, a high-density, single
IP-addressable switch can be built.
Robust security features include IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication and access control
lists, ensuring that only authorized users can access your network. Secure management of the
switches is available through Secure Sockets Layer (SSLv3) for the Web GUI and Secured Shell
(SSH) for command-line sessions or with SNMP v3 for network management software. For
workgroup deployments in cost-sensitive organizations that require Layer 3 switching, additional
Gigabit capacity, high-value price point, flexibility of stacking, and reduced maintenance
requirements, NETGEAR’s ProSafe Gigabit Layer 3 Stackable switches deliver the ideal accessedge solution.
With their high-value price point, flexible design, and reduced maintenance requirements,
NETGEAR’s ProSafe Gigabit Layer 3 Stackable switch solutions yield a high return on
investment, and are ideal for delivering highly reliable, converged voice, video, and data services
over a single network infrastructure.

In desktop switching environments, wire-speed performance with full QoS control for
all 10/100/1000 interfaces is critical. The 4 high-speed 10G/24G module bays provide
unprecedented flexibility, whether you are stacking between switches, attaching bandwidththirsty file servers, or aggregating critical data to the core of your network.
Simplify and reduce IT staff workload and mean time-to-repair with intuitive, GUI-based device
configuration, and an industry-standard command-line interface (CLI). The EZ-Config tool
simplifies initial configuration steps to streamline the out-of-box set-up. Stacking capabilities
allow you to build a single-IP manageable device with up to eight switches utilizing
ultra-high-speed 48Gbps across an intelligence bi-directional redundant stacking links.
