Congratulations on the purchase of your NETGEAR® ProSAFETM XS728T Smart Managed
Switch. Your XS728T Smart Managed Switch is a state-of-the-art, high-performance,
IEEE-compliant network solution designed for users who require many ports and want the power
of 10-Gigabit connectivity to eliminate bottlenecks, boost performance, and increase productivity.
The 24 twisted-pair ports on the front panel of the switch support nonstop 1000M/10G networks.
The 4 SFP+ ports on the front panel also support 1000M and 10G optical modules. To simplify
installation, the switch is shipped ready for use out of the box.

This installation guide describes how to install and power on the smart managed switch. The
information in this manual is intended for users with intermediate computer and Internet skills.
For more information about the topics that are covered in this manual, visit the support website
at

XS728T Smart Managed Switch

Overview

The NETGEAR XS728T Smart Managed Switch provides 24 twisted-pair ports that support
nonstop 1000M/10G networks. The switch also provides four built-in enhanced small form
factor pluggable (SFP+) GBIC slots that support 1000M and 10G optical modules.

Using these 10G slots, you can create high-speed connections to a server or network
backbone. For example, you can:

• Connect switches to each other with high-speed links

• Link to high-speed servers

• Provide 1000M/10G copper and fiber connectivity

The smart managed switch also provides the benefit of administrative management with a
complete package of features for monitoring, configuring, and controlling the network. Using
the simple and intuitive web-based graphical user interface (GUI) or the Windows
computer–based Smart Control Center program, you can view and use the switch’s many
capabilities. The switch’s management features include configuration of port and switch
information, VLAN for traffic control, port trunking for increased bandwidth, and Class of
Service (CoS) for prioritizing traffic. These features provide better understanding and control
of the network. Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the Smart Control
Center program, a utility that runs on a Windows computer.

The smart managed switch can be freestanding or rack mounted in a wiring closet or
equipment room. It is IEEE compliant and offers low latency for high-speed networking. All
ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed, which makes the switch ideal for
environments with a mix of Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet devices. You can use
Category 5e (CAT 5e) or better Ethernet cable (CAT 6, CAT 6a, or CAT 7) to make 10G
connections. NETGEAR recommends that you use CAT 6a or CAT 7 cables if the cable
distance is greater than 148 feet (45 meters).

Features

The XS728T Smart Managed Switch provides the following key features:

• Twenty-four 1000M/10G AutoSensing 10-Gigabit Ethernet switching ports.

• Four dedicated 1000M/10G SFP+ ports.

• Full NETGEAR Smart Managed Switch functionality.

• Full compatibility with IEEE standards:

- IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)

- IEEE 802.3z (1000BASE-x)

- IEEE 802.3an (10GBASE-T)

- IEEE 802.3 Clause 49 (10GBASE-LR and 10GBASE-SR)

- IEEE802.3ae (10GBASE Ethernet)

- IEEE802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet)
