Smart IT, not Big IT
• Easy to manage via web-Based
Management GUI or Smart Control
Center (Windows PC required) for multi-
switch deployment
• Smart Control Center, a powerful tool
for multi-switch discovery, deployment,
monitoring and rmware upgrade
• Network Management System
(NMS300), allowing all NETGEAR
business products to be deployed and
managed through this single interface
• Dual rmware images, improving
reliability and uptime to your network
• Worry-free with NETGEAR Lifetime
warranty*, Lifetime online Technical chat
support and Lifetime Next Business Day
replacement
Up to 6 switches across the series can
be stacked for a total of 288 Gigabit
access network ports, with 40Gbps
stacking bandwidth and full redundancy
for unsurpassed reliability. Add in the
ability to deliver PoE+ to every port
with supplemental RPS and application
diversity is readily supported from PTZ IP
camera surveillance solutions through to
high powered wireless access points and
VoIP phones. The inclusion of 10GBASE-T
uplink capability as standard ensures an
affordable way to leverage existing copper
installations – if Gigabit speeds and link
aggregation meets current requirements,
simply migrate to 10GbE connectivity at
a pace and time to suit your needs. With
lifetime warranty, lifetime NBD and lifetime
online technical chat to back you up,
you’ll have access to an extensive support
service to help protect your investment
and reduce downtime risk over the
long term.
• Dedicated SFPs instead of combo
ports, offering more connectivity ports
and providing better value and usability
at no extra cost
• Energy Efcient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az)
support for more energy saving in the
future when more EEE-compliant end
devices come to market
• Advanced QoS with IPv4/IPv6 ingress
trafc ltering (ACLs) and prioritization
(QoS - DiffServ)
• Dynamic VLAN assignment for
easy user authentication and location-
independent access to network
• USB for easy access rmware updates
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.
