Preconfigured Switches for Integrators
To help AV integrators bridge the gap between leveraging AV over IP distribution products and procuring Ethernet switching technology, ZeeVee is a strategic partner and an authorized reseller of Netgear’s AV over IP line of switches. The switches come preconfigured for AV distribution allowing AV integrators to focus on installation, not programming the network.
Best-in-class stacking
M4300 is flexible enough for mixed stacking between 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit models, using any 10G port with any media type (RJ45, SFP+, DAC cables).
High-availability is another key differentiator for stackable solutions: in case of a master switch failure, NSF and hitless failover ensure the standby switch takes over while forwarding plane continues to forward traffic on the operational stack members without any service interruption.
10G / 40G modular solution
The M4300-96X scales from 8 to 96 ports of 10G Ethernet by multiple of 8 ports, and from 2 to 24 ports of 40G Ethernet by multiple of 2 ports.
Better than a fixed port solution, the 96X lets you start small with maximum granularity between copper and fiber, including PoE+ over 10G, and grow later in “non-blocking” mode just by adding port expansion cards.
Higher flexibility
Two half-width M4300 switches can be paired in a single rack space for redundant Top of Rack installations with Auto-iSCSI prioritization.
10 Gigabit ports are all independent and 1G backward compatible for progressive transition to 10G speeds.
Lower complexity
Entire feature set including L2 switching (multi-tiered access control) and L3 routing (static, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, PIM, PBR) is available without license.
DHCP/BootP innovative auto-installation including firmware and configuration file upload automation.
Investment protection
Line-rate spine and leaf stacking topologies offer multiple possibilities in server rooms, in branch collapsed cores or at the edge of growing networks.
Even if an organization is not ready for SDN, OpenFlow support offers future-ready design for maximum investment protection.
Secure services
With successive tiering, the Authentication Manager allows for authentication methods per port for a tiered authentication based on configured time-outs.
With BYOD, tiered Dot1x -> MAB -> Captive Portal authentication is powerful and simple to implement with strict policies.
