FS728TP Overview:
Product Features:
- Full 24 10/100 Smart Switch with 24 PoE Ports
- Four gigabit ports for high speed connections
- Easy-to-manage web-based GUI
Full 24-port PoE Solution Plus Easy Browser-based
Management
NETGEAR ProSafe Smart Switches fill the gap between
unmanaged and fully managed switches. The family of
ProSafe Smart Switches is designed for growing businesses
that want control over their network without the cost
and complexity of a full Layer 2/Layer 3 management
implementation. This PoE-capable Smart Switch, the FS728TP,
provides power and data using built-in IEEE 802.3af
PoE on all 24 ports. In addition, the FS728TP offers
an intuitive Webbased management tool for quick and
easy deployment and configuration making it ideal for
deploying access points, VoIP phones and IP-based surveillance
cameras. This switch is equipped with highly advanced
features such as access control lists (ACL), 802.1x
port authentication, enhanced QoS, rate limiting and
IGMP snooping among others to provide a small and medium-sized
business with a network that is geared for growth while
providing scalability and reliability. With the utility
of 24 10/100 Mbps ports, four copper 10/100/1000 Mbps
ports and two combination (copper/hot-swappable small
form-factor pluggable (SFP)) Gigabit ports for optional
fiber connectivity, growing business networks, classrooms
and workgroups can benefit from superior performance
and keep up with expanding network needs. This high-performing
switch features a non-blocking wire-speed architecture
with an 12.8 Gbps switching capacity for maximum data
throughput. All 28 RJ-45 ports automatically negotiate
to the highest speed and support Auto Uplink™ technology
to make the right link.
Full-featured, Flexible Power over Ethernet (PoE)
With a total power budget of 195 Watts, customers
can choose to plug in up to 24 Ethernet or Fast Ethernet
devices and mix in up to 24 802.3af IP-based devices.
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), optimizes the installation
and power management of network devices such as wireless
access points (AP), Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, and
IP-based surveillance cameras. Power-over-Ethernet (IEEE
802.3af) capabilities reduce installation time and costs
for many new network productivity devices. Free your
wireless AP deployments and IP cameras from the restrictions
of power outlet proximity using a standard Cat 5 UTP
cable. Enable uninterruptible power supply for all your
PoE devices by powering your switch from a UPS device.
Advanced Security
These switches also 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 (QoS)
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 FS728TP provides several advanced QoS features:
- 802.1p based prioritization
- Layer 3-based (DSCP, TOS) prioritization
- Rate-limiting
'Smart' Management features
Manage all ProSafe Smart Switches as from an easy-to-use
Web console that can be used to configure all features,
as well as monitor and trouble-shoot. These switches
also have SNMP (v1, 2 and 3) to collect and track data
to monitor the network health, as well as manage devices,
and more easily enforce critical IT controls and policies.
SNMP v2c is most commonly deployed, as it provides better
reporting capabilities than SNMP v1. Companies interested
in more robust security may opt for SNMP v3, which provides
data encryption.
All ProSafe Smart Switches provide world-class reliability
with a Lifetime Warranty and optional ProSupport Maintenance
Packages. These switches are optimized for ProSafe Network
Management Software (NMS100) and works with other SNMP-based
management software.
