The GS716T-200 come with a comprehensive set of features, such as accesscontrol lists (ACL), 802.1x port authentication, enhanced QoS, rate limiting and IGMP snoopingamong others to provide a small and medium-sized business with a network that is geared forgrowth while ensuring performance and reliability. The GS716T-200 are fanlessswitches with silent operation for a pleasant environment.In addition, an intuitive, Web-browser interface offers the simple Smart Switch management,making it a snap to monitor switch performance, configure ports, even set up port trunks,VLANs, and traffic prioritization. Alternatively, use SNMP-based software to manage your SmartSwitch. Shipped ready for use straight out of the box, it delivers switching that’s easy to set upand use. NETGEAR ProSafe Smart Switches are ideal for adding basic management to yourunmanaged networks or extending your managed networks.
Green Ethernet
• Up to 70% power savings compared to the non-Green version
• Auto power-down mode saves energy when port is unused
• Cable length detection reduces power usage when network cable is shorter than 10 meters.
Intelligent.
Smart Switch capability enables key management features for the value price of an unmanaged
switch. Included are performance monitoring, port configuration, VLAN for traffic control, port
trunking for increased bandwidth, and Class of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization.
Ideal Advanced Security
These Gigabit Smart Switches provide advanced features that provide more robust security to
the SMBs. These include:
• 802.1x for authentication.
• ACL filtering to permit or deny traffic based on MAC or IP addresses.
Advanced Quality of Service
Priority queuing ensures high-priority traffic gets delivered efficiently, even during congestion
from high-traffic bursts. Companies implementing network telephony or video conferencing,
for example, need to be able to prioritize such voice and video traffic and other real-time
applications over less latency-sensitive traffic to ensure reliability and quality. The ability to
prioritize traffic ensures quality of latency-sensitive services and applications despite increasing
traffic loads. The ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switch provides an extensive set of QoS features:
• 802.1p-based prioritization.
• Layer 3-based prioritization.
• Rate-limiting.
Easy-going and Durable
Simple to set up and simple to use for effortless network monitoring and troubleshooting. Made
to last, this sturdy switch is housed in a 17-inch metal box and comes with a rack-mounting kit.
Like all NETGEAR ProSafe Smart Switches, the GS716T and GS724T are backed by the NETGEAR.
