M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switch M4300-96X
Overview
The switch provides a full-width chassis with 12 slots for port cards and two small
form-factor, modular power supply unit (PSU) bays. Each slot can support a 10G port
card with 8 ports for a total of 96 ports on the switch, with each port supporting 10G.
Alternately, each slot can support a 40G port card with 2 ports for a total of twenty-four
40G ports on the switch. Slots 1 through 6 can accept PoE+ port cards, with a total
supported power budget of 1,440W for 48 ports. All 10G Ethernet port cards support
100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T ports. The SFP port cards support 1G/10GBASE-X SFP+
ports in which you can install 1G and 10G transceiver modules (GBICs) or direct-attach
cables (DACs). The QSFP+ port cards support QSFP+ modules, break-out cables, and
DACs.
The switch integrates full-duplex, nonblocking 1.92 terabit per second (Tbps) switch
fabric that provides 10G line rate for all 96 ports or 40G line rate for up to 24 ports.
The switch supports the following port cards:
APM408C. Provides eight 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T ports.
•
APM408P. Provides eight 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T PoE+ ports.
•
APM408F. Provides eight 1G/10GBASE-X SFP+ ports in which you can install 1G
•
and 10G GBICs or DACs.
APM402XL. Provides two 40GBASE-X QSFP+ ports in which you can install QSFP+
•
modules, break-out cables, or DACs. For an APM402XL port connection at 40 Gbps,
use modules or cables that are compatible with 40GBASE-SR4, 40GBASE-LR4, and
40GBASE-CR4.
The switch lets you create high-speed connections to a server or network backbone.
For example, you can do the following:
Connect switches to each other with high-speed links
•
Link to high-speed servers
•
Provide 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G copper, 1G/10G fiber, and 40G fiber connectivity
•
Connect up to eight switches in a stack to create a high-port-capacity solution with
•
a single point of administration
You would typically rack-mount the switch in a wiring closet or equipment room, either
as a standalone switch or stacked with other switches. The switch is IEEE compliant and
offers low latency for high-speed networking. All ports can automatically negotiate to
the highest speed, which makes the switch also suitable for environments with a mix of
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet devices. The 10/100
Mbps ports can operate in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. The 1G/2.5G/5G/10G and
40G ports always operate in full-duplex mode.

Stacking Concepts
A single switch can control and manage a stack. This switch is referred to as the stack
master, or simply, the master. Any other members in the stack are referred to as slaves.
All switches in a stack are stack members.
Slaves can download firmware from the master and the master can push firmware to
the slaves.
The master runs the fully operational software of a switch. In addition, the master runs
the master software of the distributed switching application that configures and manages
all slaves. Generally, the master operates the remote slave’s low-level drivers through
the distributed switching application part that is running in the context of the slave.
During stacking setup, the switches autoselect one switch as the master. All other
switches become slaves and are assigned unique stack IDs. One of the slaves is
designated as the backup master. The backup master functions as a slave but can
become the master if the original master fails. In the default configuration, the master
and backup master are assigned unit IDs of 1 and 2, respectively. You can use the local
browser–based management interface to configure different ID assignments. The master
provides a single point of control and management as well as a single interface through
which to control and manage the stack.
Switch software is downloaded separately for each stack member. However, all stack
members must be running the same software version.
Hardware Installation Guide8Introduction
M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switch M4300-96X
A stack unit can operate in one of the following modes:
A standalone switch runs as a general switch. The standalone unit does not run the
•
stacking application until it is connected to a stack.
A master manages the entire stack and is responsible for the entire stack
•
configuration. All protocols run in the context of the master, which updates and
synchronizes the backup master.
A backup master runs as a slave until it must take over from the master. In addition,
•
the backup master continuously monitors the existence and operation of the master.
If the master fails, the backup master assumes the role of master through a switchover.
A slave runs only a slave version of the distributed switching software, which allows
•
the applications running on the master to control and manage the resources of the
slave.
A stack can contain a mix of up to eight switches. All models support stacking. The
master supports Nonstop Forwarding Failover (NSF).
For information about how to configure stacking through the software, see the user
manual, which you can download by visiting downloadcenter.netgear.com.
