Netgear ProSAFE® M4200 Intelligent Edge Series

Wave 2 11ac Access Point deployment

The world’s first Multigigabit Ethernet switch with eight full power PoE+ and multi-speed 1G, 2.5G ports combined with two 10G uplinks for a fully non-blocking deployment of eight Wave 2 11ac access points from any vendor.

The ProSAFE® M4200-10MG-PoE+ Managed Switch was designed from the ground up to optimize the installation of Wave 2 11ac access points. Includes eight full power PoE+ and multi-speed 1G, 2.5G ports for 100 meter legacy cable runs, combined with two 10G uplinks for a fully non-blocking deployment of eight Wave 2 11ac access points. Two of these eight 1G, 2.5G PoE+ ports also support 5G speed. NETGEAR Multigigabit Ethernet is compatible with most major wireless and switching vendors managed solutions, and the only one with 8x2.5G to the AP with 240W PoE available and 2x10G line-rate aggregation to the wiring closet. Plenum rated, slim design and mounting accessories allow you to place this switch to optimize access point placement and cabling efficiency, inside and outside the rack.

Multi-Gigabit Ethernet

• 

  The ProSAFE® M4200-10MG-PoE+ comes with NBASE-T compliant 1G/2.5G/5G ports and 8 x 2.5G / 2 x 10G wire speed aggregation

• 

  That is, a purely line-rate access layer for 802.11ac wireless access points with PoE+ full provisioning, and ready for Wave2 3x3 and 4x4 installations

Higher flexibility

• 

  Plenum design with Easy Mount options whether it's directly on a wall, attached to a rectangular or round pole, or mounted in a standard 19-inch rack

• 

  Secure placement above drop-down ceilings, in air passageways and where other switches will not go, vertical or horizontal, flat or perpendicular

Lower complexity

• 

  Entire feature set including L2 switching (multi-tiered access control, auto-VoIP, auto-iSCSI) and L3 routing (static or RIP) is available without license

• 

  DHCP/BootP innovative auto-installation including firmware and configuration file upload automation

Investment protection

• 

  Multi-Gigabit NBASE-T enables 2.5X to 5X faster speeds up to 100m on legacy Cat5e/Cat6 cables - yet providing 100M and 1G backward compatibility

• 

  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

Industry standard management

• 

  Industry standard command line interface (CLI), functional NETGEAR web interface (GUI), SNMP, sFlow and RSPAN

• 

  Single-pane-of-glass NMS300 management platform with centralized firmware updates and mass-configuration support

Industry leading warranty

• 

  NETGEAR M4200 series is covered under NETGEAR ProSafe Lifetime Hardware Warranty

• 

  90 days of Technical Support via phone and email, Lifetime Technical Support through online chat and Lifetime Next Business Day hardware replacement
