NETGEAR Stackable, PoE Managed Gigabit Switches GSM7228PS and GSM7252PS allow the most fl exible and easy-to-deploy Gigabit Power over Ethernet infrastructure. All the 24 and 48 ports of 10/100/1000 Mbps interfaces support 802.3af PoE standard with a comfortable 384 Watts total budget. The fi rst 8 ports support high power 802.3at PoE+, with up to 30 Watts per port. Four (SFP) Gigabit interfaces provide optional fi ber connectivity for longer reach Gigabit Ethernet requirements. Two built-in 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ interfaces on the front, reserved for network uplinks or servers and storage devices, and two 10 Gigabit module bays on the rear, permitting both uplinks and local/distant stacking, provide versatile 10 Gigabit deployment possibilities.
Enterprise-class L2+
Combining superior resiliency, enterprise-class security and non-blocking performance, NETGEAR Stackable PoE Managed Gigabit Switches GSM7228PS and GSM7252PS offer a full set of Layer 2 management features, as well as Layer 2+ (Layer 3 lite – IPv4 routing) with unsurpassed affordability. Together with VLAN routing, voice-class prioritization, and chassis-like stack even with local or distant non-PoE Layer 3 Gigabit Managed Switches GSM7328S / GSM7352S / GSM7328FS, the GSM7228PS and GSM7252PS series can be deployed at enterprise edge, remote branch offi ces and closer to the core of small and medium businesses’ growing networks.
High Availability
NETGEAR Stackable, PoE Managed Gigabit Switches GSM7228PS and GSM7252PS come with a removable power module for the main power supply. In the event of a power supply failure, the switch can immediately shift to an external RPS device while the internal power module is replaced for 100% uptime. Like all NETGEAR ProSafe Managed Switches, the GSM7228PS and GSM7252PS are backed by the NETGEAR ProSafe Lifetime Warranty.

Target Applications
GSM72xxPS/GSM73xxS Stack for Access
Stacking with L3 Gigabit GSM7328S-200, GSM7352S-200 and GSM7328FS Managed Switches, the GSM7228PS and GSM7252PS add Power over Ethernet access for LAN telephony, wireless access points or IP cameras in a cost-effective solution: the built-in 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports on the front authorize high performance distributed trunks to the core and management is simplifi ed. In this confi guration, each stack acts as a single routing switch, with only one GUI/CLI and multiple distributed link aggregations.
GMS72xxPS/GSM73xxS Unique Stack
With GSM7328S-200, GSM7352S-200 and GSM7328FS Managed Switches, the GSM7228PS and GSM7252PS simplify and lower the cost of medium-sized 10 Gigabit deployments. In this confi guration, 8 stacked switches build a 384 Gigabit ports network with 16 available 10 Gigabit ports for servers and high-end storage. The hardware stacking dual-ring topology provides one unique CLI/GUI platform, simple management, network and servers/storage perfect resiliency, as well as intelligent load balancing.

Stacking with GSM7328S-200/GSM7352S-200/GSM7328FS Note
Stackable, PoE L2+ Managed Gigabit Switches GSM7228PS and GSM7252PS are fl exible enough to integrate GSM73xxS stack confi gurations in full Layer 3 mode. When integrating a GSM73xxS stack, the GSM7228PS/GSM7352PS will profi t from the Layer 3 stack full feature set, as slaves within the stack. Only the stack master determines the stack confi guration/feature set. If the stack master is a GSM73xxS then the entire stack profi ts from the master L3 confi guration. If a GSM7228PS/GSM7252PS becomes the master, then the entire stack will downgrade to Layer 2+ feature set. Unless Layer 2+ is the preferred feature set, it is advised to determine in advance which other Layer 3 GSM73xxS slave would become the stack master in case of the stack master failure, by specifying the secondary stack master settings in the stack confi guration.
