Netgear GSM7328FS-200NES Product Data Sheet

ProSafe® 24-port Fiber
Stackable Gigabit L3 Managed Switch Data Sheet

GSM7328FS

The NETGEAR® Stackable Fiber Gigabit Managed Switch GSM7328FS allows the most flexible and easy-to-deploy Gigabit Fiber infra­structure. All 24 ports of Gigabit SFP interfaces are Fast Ethernet/Gigabit capable and deliver wired speed performance with low latency.
Four shared 1000Base-T interfaces broaden Gigabit connectivity with auto-sensing RJ45. Optional SFP modules with 1000Base-T RJ45
connectors offer additional copper Gigabit density when needed. Four 10 Gigabit module bays, permitting both uplinks and local/distant
stacking, provide versatile 10 Gigabit deployment possibilities.

Enterprise-class L3

Combining superior resiliency, enterprise-class security and non-blocking performance, the NETGEAR Stackable Fiber Gigabit Managed
Switch offers IPv4 dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF, VRRP and multicast for converged applications with unsurpassed affordability.
Together with VLANs routing, voice-class prioritization, and chassis-like stack with Layer 2+ PoE GSM7228PS/ GSM7252PS or L3
GSM7328S/GSM7352S, the GSM7328FS can be deployed at the enterprise edge, remote branch offices and closer to the core of small
and medium-sized businesses’ growing networks.

IPv6 Scalability

The upgrade license GSM7328FL unlocks IPv6 dynamic routing capabilities of the GSM7328FS. Purposely built for enterprise networks
and core/aggregation layers of SMB networks, an IPv6 upgraded GSM7328FS provides ACLs, QoS and advanced routing protocols such
as OSPF, and multicast for IPv6 converged applications.

High Availability

The NETGEAR Stackable Fiber Gigabit Managed Switches, the GSM7328FS comes with an RPS connector. In the event of a power supply
failure, the switch can immediately shift to an external RPS device.

Versatile Stacking and cost effective Edge distribution

Stacking with GSM7328S/GSM7352S copper versions, the GSM7328FS is easily deployed at the aggregation layer of enterprise
networks. 10 Gigabit bays authorize local or distant stacking with simplified chassis-like management (one unique CLI/GUI platform)
and multiple distributed link aggregation capabilities (resiliency, load balancing). With GSM7228PS/GSM7252PS and GSM7328S/
GSM7352S Managed Switches, the GSM7328FS simplify and lower the cost of medium-sized 10 Gigabit core deployments, with a
cost effective Gigabit fiber distribution to the access layer.

NETGEAR Hardware Stacking

Local and Distant Stack Topology

Local Stack Topology

When the switches are deployed in the same rack, one AX742
kit per switch is required for dual-ring topology, providing higher
resiliency and intelligent load balancing.

Each ring speed is 12 Gbps half duplex (24 Gbps full duplex).

Dual ring overall speed is 24 Gbps half duplex (48 Gbps full
duplex).

AX742 Stacking Kit

AX742
24 Gbps Stacking Kit

+

• Each AX742 kit contains 2 stacking modules+ 1 stacking cable

• One AX742 kit per switch recommended for full 48 Gbps bandwidth
and complete redundancy

Distant Stack Topology

When the switches are deployed in several locations, two AX743
SFP+ host modules are required per switch, with the SFP+ optics
(AXM761, AXM762 or AXM763) for this hardware dual-ring
topology, providing highest resiliency and intelligent load balancing.

Each ring speed is 10 Gbps half duplex (20 Gbps full duplex).

Dual ring overall speed is 20 Gbps half duplex (40 Gbps full duplex).

AX743
SFP+ Host Module

Local and distant stack can be combined for maximum flexibility.

AXM761, AXM762 or AXM763
SFP+ 10GBase-SR, LR or LRM optics

• AX743 + AXM761/AXM762/AXM763 optics in each
rear slot

• Two SFP+ modules are recommended for full 40
Gbps bandwidth and complete redundancy
