12- and 24-port Layer 3 Managed
Gigabit Switches Data Sheet
GSM7312, GSM7324
High-speed, Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Switching
Now you can enjoy full Layer 3, Gigabit functionality at an affordable price. The NETGEAR
Managed Gigabit Switches provides maximum throughput and flexibility for demanding
networks, with all the Layer 3 features you expect. These 10/100/1000 switches addresses
today’s high-performance requirements, while providing the control you need — and the
future-proofing you want. The GSM7312 and GSM7324 are ideal as a backbone for 10/100
switches, Gigabit servers, or as the robust core of a demanding, all-Gigabit network.
The GSM7312 and GSM7324 can be used to inexpensively off-load routers that are segmenting
your network and lay the groundwork for new IP-based services. Layer 3 routing combined with
L2/L3/L4 Quality of Service, bandwidth provisioning and access control features enable Voice
over IP (VoIP) telephony, video conferencing, and other cost-saving applications.
The GSM7312 and GSM7324 Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Switches provides both Layer 2 and
Layer 3 managed switching functionality. Their high-performance design offers a
comprehensive set of features:
• Routing: IPv4 routing at wire speed, with up to 512 routes per unit; VRRP
(IP redundancy), ICMP, RIP I and RIP II, OSPF, and DHCP/BOOTP relay
• Switching: Port trunking, broadcast storm protection, extensive VLAN support, IGMP
snooping, Rapid Spanning Tree, and link aggregation
• Quality of Service: DiffServ, access control lists, and bandwidth provisioning using
L2, L3, and L4 information.
Very affordable, the GSM7312 and GSM7324 provide the connection flexibility of 12 or 24
Copper Gigabit ports, or up to 12 small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules, sold separately.
Robust
The GSM7312 and GSM7324 provide powerful, non-blocking data routing and forwarding via
12 or 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports. All ports have copper Gigabit Ethernet, with each port offering
optional hot-swappable SFP GBIC slots, for fiber connections.
Easier Network Management
The GSM7312 and GSM7324 are simple to set up and use, with an intuitive browser interface
for easy configuration. Choose from two management interface options – an easy-to-follow,
browser-based interface, and a command line interface, available through console or
telnet. Configuration files can be loaded and saved using TFTP, reducing the need for
on-site administration.
Versatile
A comprehensive set of Layer 3 features provides strong functionality in any network. For
example, RIP routing for smaller networks and OSPFv2 routing for larger, more complex
networks. The GSM7312 and GSM7324 helps maximize your network capabilities — and your
return on investment.
Cost-effective
These switches are also competitively priced to boost your network throughput without blowing
your budget. Designed in a 1U form factor, this complete package comes equipped with a
rack-mounting kit, terminal cable, and power cord.
