Netgear ProSafe 12 Port Managed Gigabit Switch - 12 x 10/100/1000Base-T LAN - 12 x SFP (mini-GBIC) - Ethernet Switch - GSM7212NA

High-Speed, Layer 2 Managed Gigabit Switching

NETGEAR delivers wirespeed Gigabit performance and a full set of Layer 2 management features with unsurpassed affordability. This next-generation, high-speed switch delivers maximum throughput where you need it - to high-performance workgroups at the edge of the network, or as a backbone for 10/100 switches and Gigabit servers in demanding small networks. The non-blocking design offers full Gigabit throughput simultaneously to all 12 10/100/1000 ports to ensure reliable performance. Layer 2 management functionality delivers reliability, control, and availability.

The very affordable NETGEAR ProSafe 12 Port Gigabit L2 Managed Switch GSM7212 creates a more productive - and future-proof - network. With increasing bandwidth requirements from applications such as video, voice, database management, and other services that slow throughput and response time, you can unleash your network and enable maximum productivity with Gigabit Ethernet for today's high-performance environments. Optimize bandwidth, security, and control with full Layer 2 management capabilities. Fiber connectivity is enabled through 12 combination Small Formfactor Pluggable (SFP)gigabit ports. Network administrators can use any combination of these features to ensure uptime, availability, bandwidth, and throughput.

Powerful

A full 12 10/100/1000 ports and a non-blocking design provide wire speed throughput and maximum bandwidth for the most demanding network environments. The 12 combination ports of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces provide the flexibility to deploy fiber or copper connectivity within your network environment. Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules deliver choice in 1000Base-SX or 1000Base- LX optics. The Layer 2 management features optimize bandwidth throughout the network - delivering Gigabit performance to systems, applications, and services. Take advantage of forwarding rates up to 17.8 million pps, and a switching capacity of 24 Gbps.

Easy to Use

Move up to Gigabit power in minutes. Use the GSM7212 as a managed switch out of the box - just plug and play! All ports are auto-negotiating and support Auto Uplink technology. Management features are simple to set up and use, with a next-generation browser interface for easy configuration. Choose from two management interface options - an easy-to-follow Web interface, and a command line interface available through console or Telnet. Comprehensive remote administration capabilities reduce the need for on-site administration. Easy to troubleshoot - built-in testing capability locates cable related network problems.

Manageable

Meet your management needs with SNMP (v1, v2c and v3), RMON, Command-Line Interface (CLI) and a complete Web-based GUI. Advanced features include up to 256 VLANs, DiffServ traffic prioritization and 802.1p (QoS) for Voice over IP services (VOIP), broadcast storm protection, RADIUS, 802.1x, port trunking, port mirroring, rapid spanning tree, and link aggregation. Full Layer 2 implementation allows you to configure your network for maximum performance, reliability, and availability. Optimized for NETGEAR ProSafe Network Management Software NMS100.

Outstanding Value

Layer 2 management and full Gigabit power at a compelling price. Use at the edge to improve workgroup connections, or at the core to upgrade a Gigabit Ethernet backbone - now you can afford the power your network deserves. Like all NETGEAR products, everything you need is in the box - including rack mount kit, power and serial cables, and more.
