28-port Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch is the industry’s
first smart switch with 10-gigabit connectivity – delivering maximum throughput
in SMB networks for demanding tasks such as data replication and backup,
virtualization, video on demand and high-volume transaction processing. At less
than half the cost of a managed switch, the ProSAFE 28-Port Gigabit Smart
Switch provides 24 gigabit ports for connecting devices to the network, along
with four 10GE SFP+ ports for stacking or uplink to servers. GS728TXS is able
to be mixed and matched with GS752TXS in the same stack. As many as six
switches can be stacked for a total of 300 network ports, with full redundancy
for unsurpassed reliability. The GS728TXS oers a rich enterprise-class feature
set, including advanced trac management and security, yet can be easily
configured and monitored through a web-based graphical user interface.
With a rich set of Layer 2 management features, the GS728TXS is ecient, secure and ready for the future. Static routing allows
for segmentation of the network, with internal routing through the switch – reserving the router for external trac routing
only, making the entire network more ecient. Dynamic VLAN assignment increases security by imposing consistent policy and
user credentials across the network, regardless of where users connect. Support for MLD Snooping greatly increase network
eciency by forwarding multicast trac to designated hosts only, rather than flooding multicast packets across all ports. The
GS728TXS also comes with full IPv6 support, comprehensive security and advanced multicast management.
The GS728TXS is a scalable solution that grows with a business. Starting with a single switch, the stack can grow to six switches
with a mixed of GS728TXS and GS752TXS and a total of 300 network ports. Two out of the four 10-gigabit SFP+ ports on each
switch can be used to create the stack, a single logical unit with up to 40 Gbps of stacking backplane that can be configured and
managed as one switch – speeding up deployment while simplifying administration and maintenance. The stacked switches can
be spread across multiple physical locations, by taking advantage of SFP+ fiber-optic connectivity, making the GS728TXS an
ideal solution for remote and branch oces. All four 10GE ports can be used for network uplinks to servers and storage devices,
or split with two ports for local or distant stacking and two ports for uplinks and link aggregation. Auto failover creates a safety
net so that if one switch in the stack fails, all the other switches will be intact.
As a “smart” switch, IT administrators can decide how to manage the GS728TXS. Individual switches can be managed through a
simple browser-based graphical user interface. The GS728TXS can also be managed through SNMP soware for compatibility
with existing SNMP-based consoles. For larger networks, NETGEAR’s Smart Control Center, is a free Windows-based application
for discovering, configuring and upgrading multiple smart switches across the network.
Like all NETGEAR ProSAFE Smart Switches, the GS728TXS is backed by the NETGEAR ProSAFE Lifetime Warranty, and 1-Year
ProSUPPORT 24x7 Advanced Technical Support*.
