Overview
The switch provides twenty-four or forty-eight 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 copper ports that support nonstop
10/100/1000M Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks. All RJ-45 ports support PoE+. Four additional ports can accept
small form-factor pluggable (SFP) gigabit interface converters (GBICs) for 1G fiber or copper connectivity.
For information about application samples, see Applications on page 15.Note
The switch provides administrative management options that let you configure, monitor, and control the
network. Using the local browser–based management interface, you can configure the switch and the
network, including the ports, the management VLAN, VLANs for traffic control, link aggregation for increased
bandwidth, Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing traffic, and network security.
Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the Smart Control Center program, which runs on a
Windows-based computer and is included on the resource CD. If you do not use a Windows-based computer,
get the IP address of the switch from the DHCP server in the network or use an IP scanner utility.
After discovery, you can configure the switch using the local browser interface for advanced setup and
configuration of features, or the Smart Control Center program for very basic setup. For more information,
see the user manual, which you can download from downloadcenter.netgear.com.
You can install the switch freestanding or rack mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room. The switch
is IEEE compliant and offers low latency. All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed, which
makes the switch very suitable for a mixed environment with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher-rated Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors to make Gigabit
connections.
Features
The switch supports the following key hardware features:
• 24 or 48 PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet ports.
• 4 dedicated SFP ports for 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-T connectivity.
• PoE+ support:
- 24 or 48 PoE+ (802.3at) ports
- Total PoE+ power budget of 190W (model GS728TPv2), 380W (models GS728TPPv2 and
GS752TPv2), or 760W (model GS752TPP)
• MAC table size of 16K.
• Variable speed fan that can lower the noise level during low temperatures.
• Acoustic noise (measured at 25°C) is equal to or less than 31 dBA (model GS728TPv2), 35 dBA (model
GS728TPPv2), 38 dBA (model GS752TPv2), or 43 dBA (model GS752TPP).
• 56 Gbps (models GS728TPv2 and GS728TPPv2) or 104 Gbps (models GS752TPv2 and GS752TPP)
full-duplex, nonblocking switch fabric.
