S3300 Smart Switch Series
IN UNMANAGED
& SMART SWITCHES
The S3300 Series are a new generation
of Gigabit Stackable Smart Switches
inclusive of 4 10G ports, which can be
used for uplinks and/or stacking between
other S3300 switches. Mixed stacking
with select M4300 10G switches (12X12F
and 24X) allows 10G architecture that can
both scale as organization networks grows
and be powerful enough for server and
storage applications. As SMBs produce
and consume more data, Gigabit to
the desktop increasingly needs to be
underpinned with 10GbE connectivity to
the core to ensure a consistent, seamless

S3300 True Stacking
NETGEAR stacking feature provides resilient network architecture: up to six (6) S3300 switches can be stacked with a single
management IP address, which simplies network operations. VLAN and QoS can be managed in a unied fashion across the stack.
Up to 288 Gigabit access ports and 12 available 10-Gigabit uplinks offer support for high-density developments as well as exibility for
future network expansion need.
The S3300 architecture offers a 40Gbps bi-directional stacking backplane with two (2) 10G stacking ports per switch, built-in
redundancy and auto-failover. The stacking capability allows for master and slave switches with a secondary master as back-up. The
backup master can quickly take over the failed master switch function. Failed switches can be hot-swapped with the rest of the switches
in the stack unaffected and operational.
Please note that stacking is supported at 10-Gigabit speeds (with either 10GBASE-T Copper or SFP+ Fiber modules) only. 1G stacking is
not supported.
Now stacking with 10G switches: for additional 10G connectivity, S3300 switches can stack with M4300-12X12X and M4300-24X 10G
models. M4300 switches scale down to S3300 feature set when mixed stacking. Four (4) 10G stacking ports per switch can be used on
each M4300 model running S3300 code. S3300 1G models can still use two (2) 10G stacking ports when mixed stacking, the stacking
topology remains the same.

used for redundant uplinks, or for stacking at 10G speeds only.
Flexible to plug-in or change into high-power PD devices on any port

Solution for virtualized environments.
IP phones and PCs can authenticate on the same port but under different
VLAN assignment policies. Users are free to move around and enjoy the
same level of network access regardless of their physical location in the
network.
A simple way to provide segmentation of the network with internal routing
through the switch – reserving the router for external trafc routing only,
making the entire network more efcient.
Build current network with future in mind. Ensure investment protection
and a smooth migration to IPv6-based network without switch replace
ment.
Build a secured, converged network with all types of trafc by preventing
external attacks and blocking malware while allowing secure access for
authorized users.

locked MAC • ACL ltering to permit or deny trafc based on MAC and
IP addresses

Automatic Voice over IP prioritization with Auto-VoIP simplies most com
plex multi-vendor IP telephone deployments either based on protocols
(SIP, H323 and SCCP) or on OUI bytes (default database and user-based
OUIs) in the phone source MAC address; providing the best class of ser
vice to VoIP streams (both data and signaling) over other ordinary trafc by
classifying trafc, and enabling correct egress queue conguration. When
deployed IP phones are LLDP-MED compliant, the Voice VLAN will use
LLDP-MED to pass on the VLAN ID, 802.1P priority and DSCP values to the
IP phones, accelerating convergent deployments.
Advanced controls for optimized network performance and better delivery
of mission-critical trafc such as voice and video.
