Netgear S350 Series GS324T 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch with 2x SFP Port

As a leading provider of network equipment for SMBs, NETGEAR understands the importance of reliable and high performance networks that are SMB budget aware. With the growth of virtualization, cloud-based services and applications like VoIP, video streaming and IP surveillance, SMB networks need to extend beyond simple reliability to performance and security. The NETGEAR S350 Gigabit Smart Switch series is tailored to these essential network needs of your business; delivering unprecedented non-blocking Gigabit bandwidth and solid network security at an affordable cost.

The 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switches with 2 SFP ports for fiber uplinks, offering powerful Layer 2 features, enhanced performance and ease of use. They are purposely designed for converged networks where voice, video, data are all carried on a single network platform. Advanced features such as L2/L3/L4 Access Control Lists (ACLs), Quality of Service (QoS), Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) will ensure a high-speed and highly secured network environment for your business.

The 24-port S350 series switch model are also rack-mountable. The Model includes Kensington lock slot to physically secure your switch in open space. The fan-less 24-port non-PoE model will operate silently, ideal for the noise-sensitive environment. All NETGEAR S350 Series switches support IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet mode, caring power saving for your business.

Features

Dedicated SFP Fiber Uplinks
Dedicated SFP ports provides fiber uplinks without sacrificing any downlink Gigabit port. 2 SFP ports provide not only redundant uplinks, but can also build dual redundancy by a trunked uplink with link aggregation and failover, the dual redundancy, a powerful design for the network virtualization.

Low Acoustics
Fan-less design for quieter office environment.

Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az)
Maximum power reduction for ongoing operation cost savings.

ACL filtering to permit or deny traffic
Provide granular network access control including L2/L3/L4 access control lists (ACLs).

Robust security
Build a secured, converged network with all types of traffic by preventing external attacks and blocking malware, while allowing secure access for authorized users with RADIUS 802.1x port authentication.

• 802.1x authentication (EAP)
• Port-based security by locked MAC
• DHCP Snooping

Comprehensive QoS
Advanced controls for optimized network performance and better delivery of mission-critical traffic such as voice and video.

• Port-based or 802.1p-based prioritization
• Layer 3-based (DSCP) prioritization
• Port-based ingress and egress rate limiting.

Automatic Voice over IP prioritization
Automatic Voice over IP prioritization (Auto-VoIP) simplifies most complex multi-vendor IP telephone deployments either based on protocols (SIP) or on OUI bytes (default database and user-based OUIs) in the phone source MAC address, providing the best class of service to VoIP streams (both data and signaling) over other ordinary traffic by classifying traffic, and enabling correct egress queue configuration. Similarly, Auto-Video VLAN enables IGMP snooping to minimize broadcast streams.

IGMP Snooping
Facilitate fast receiver joins and leaves for multicast streams. Save cost and improve network efficiency by ensuring multicast traffic only reaches designated receivers without the need of an extra multicast router.

Protected Ports
Ensure no exchange of unicast, broadcast, or multicast traffic between the protected ports on the switch, thereby improving the security of your converged network. This allows your sensitive phone conversations to stay private and your surveillance video clips can be forwarded to their designated storage device without leakage or alteration.

DHCP Snooping
Ensure IP address allocation integrity by only allowing DHCP messages from trusted DHCP servers and dropping malformed DHCP messages with a port or MAC address mismatch.

Dynamic VLAN Assignment (RADIUS)
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 on the network.

Dual Firmware Images
Dual firmware images for transparent firmware updates with minimum service interruption.
