1. Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your NETGEAR®ProSAFETM XS728T Smart Switch. Your

XS728T Smart Switch is a state-of-the-art, high-performance, IEEE-compliant network solution

designed for users who require many ports and want the power of Gigabit connectivity to

eliminate bottlenecks, boost performance, and increase productivity. The 24 twisted-pair ports on

the front panel of the switch support nonstop 1000M/10G networks. The 4 SFP+ ports on the

front panel also support 1000M and 10G optical modules. To simplify installation, the switch is

shipped ready for use out of the box.

This installation guide describes how to install and power on the smart switch. The information in

this manual is intended for users with intermediate computer and Internet skills. For more

information about the topics that are covered in this manual, visit the support website at

support.netgear.com.

This chapter serves as an introduction to the smart switch and includes the following sections:

Introduction

XS728T Smart Switch

Overview

The NETGEAR XS728T Smart Switch provides 24 twisted-pair ports that support nonstop

1000M/10G networks. The switch also provides four built-in enhanced small form factor

pluggable (SFP+) GBIC slots that support 1000M and 10G optical modules.

Using these 10-gigabit slots, you can create high-speed connections to a server or network

backbone. For example, you can:

•Connect switches to each other with high-speed links

•Link to high-speed servers

•Provide 1000M/10G copper and fiber connectivity

The smart switch also provides the benefit of administrative management with a complete

package of features for monitoring, configuring, and controlling the network. Using the simple

and intuitive web-based graphical user interface (GUI) or the Windows computer–based

Smart Control Center program, you can view and use the switch’s many capabilities. The

switch’s management features include configuration of port and switch information, VLAN for

traffic control, port trunking for increased bandwidth, and Class of Service (CoS) for

prioritizing traffic. These features provide better understanding and control of the network.

Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the Smart Control Center program, a

utility that runs on a Windows computer.

The smart switch can be freestanding 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, which makes the switch ideal for environments

with a mix of Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet devices. You can use Category 5e

(Cat 5e) or better Ethernet cable (Cat 6, Cat 6a, or Cat 7) to make 10G connections.

NETGEAR recommends that you use Cat 6a or Cat 7 cables if the cable distance is greater

than 148 feet (45 meters).

Features

The XS728T Smart Switch provides the following key features:

•Twenty-four 1000M/10G AutoSensing Gigabit Ethernet switching ports.

•Four dedicated 1000M/10G SFP+ ports.

•Full NETGEAR Smart Switch functionality.

•Full compatibility with IEEE standards:

-IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)

-IEEE 802.3z (1000BASE-x)

-IEEE 802.3an (10GBASE-T)

-IEEE 802.3 Clause 49 (10GBASE-LR and 10GBASE-SR)

-IEEE802.3ae (10GBASE Ethernet)

-IEEE802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet)

Introduction

XS728T Smart Switch

-IEEE 802.3x (full-duplex flow control)

•AutoSensing and autonegotiating 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 16K Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.

•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 and frame drops.

•Per-port LEDs and Power LED.

•Internal open frame power supply.

•Standard NETGEAR 7xx series chassis (1U high).

•NETGEAR green power-saving features:

-Energy efficiency mode that fully conforms to the IEEE 802.3az standard

-Per-port automatic change to a lower power mode when the port link is down
