Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of the NETGEAR Smart Switch. The NETGEAR Smart Switch is

a state-of-the-art, high-performance, IEEE-compliant network solution designed for users who

require a large number of ports and want the power of Gigabit connectivity to eliminate

bottlenecks, boost performance, and increase productivity. To simplify installation, the switch is

shipped ready for use out of the box.

This chapter serves as an introduction to the Smart Switch and provides the following information:

•Overview

•Features

•Package Contents

Overview

This Installation Guide is for the following NETGEAR Smart Switches:

• GS716T – This product offers support for 16 ports of 10/100/1000 Mbps and two Form-factor

slots, which support 1000 (1000BASE-SX/LX)/100 Mbps Small Form-factor Pluggable

(SFP).

• GS724T – This product offers support for 24 ports of 10/100/1000 and two Form-factor slots,

which support 1000 (1000BASE-SX/LX)/100 Mbps SFP.

Using Gigabit ports, high-speed connections can be made to a server or network backbone. For

example:

• Linking to high-speed servers

• Providing 10/100/1000 Mbps copper and fiber connectivity

The Smart Switch also provides the benefit of administrative management with a complete

package of features for the observation, configuration, and control of the network. With a Web-

based Graphical User Interface (GUI), the switch’s many capabilities can be viewed and used in a

simple and intuitive manner. The switch’s management features include configuration for port and

switch information, VLAN for traffic control, port trunking for increased bandwidth, and Class of

Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization. These features provide better understanding and control of

the network. Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the Smart Wizard Discovery

program, a utility that runs on a PC.

The Smart Switch can be free-standing, or rack mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room. It is

IEEE-compliant and offers low latency for high-speed networking. All ports can automatically

negotiate to the highest speed. This capability makes the switch ideal for environments that have a

mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet devices. In addition, all RJ-45 ports operate in

half-duplex or full-duplex mode. The maximum segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over

Category 5 Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable, but much longer for fiber connections using

SFP GBIC modules.

Features

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

• 16/24 RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps auto sensing Giga switching ports.

• 2 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 last four 10/100/1000 Mbps auto sensing Giga

switching ports on each device. If both devices are plugged in, the fiber connection is active,

with fiber port taking priority if both are connected. The following SFP types are supported:

• 1000BASE-SX

• 1000BASE-LX

• 100BASE-FX

• The devices support full NETGEAR Smart Switch functionality.

• The devices 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)

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

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

Introduction 1-3

v1.0, June 2009

• Automatic address learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The

table contains up to 8K Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.

• Full-duplex 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.

• Active flow control to minimize packet loss/frame drops.

• Half-duplex back-pressure control.

• Per port LEDs, System LEDs.

• Standard 1U high, rack-mountable 17-inch chassis.

• Fan speed control supported.
