GS700AT Hardware Installation Guide

Switch Features

The following list identifies the key features of the NETGEAR Smart Switch.

On the GS724AT device there are 24 RJ-45 ports10/100/1000M auto sensing Gigabit Ethernet switching ports, four of which are Combo ports.

On the GS748AT device there are 48 RJ-45 ports 10/100/1000M auto sensing Gigabit Ethernet switching ports, four of which are Combo ports.

Four Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) GBIC slots, which function as combo ports. Combo ports are single ports with two physical connections, SFP fiber and RJ-45 copper. The RJ-45 copper ports corresponding to the Combo ports are the four 10/100/1000M auto-sensing Giga switching ports on each device.

The following SFP types are supported:

1000Base-SX

1000Base-LX

The device support full Netgear Smart Switch functionality.

The device provide full compatibility with IEEE standards:

IEEE 802.3i, (10Base-T)

IEEE 802.3u (100Base-TX, 100Base-FX)

IEEE 802.3x (Full-duplex flow control)

IEEE 802.3ab (1000Base-T)

IEEE 802.3z (1000Base-X)

IEEE 802.3af (DTE Power via MDI)

Auto-sensing and auto-negotiating capabilities for all ports.

Auto Uplink™ on all ports to make the right connection.

Automatic address-learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The table contains up to 4K Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.

Full- and half-duplex functions for all 10/100/1000 Mbps ports.

Store-and-Forward transmission to remove bad packets from the network.

Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x pause frame flow control.
