This manual describes how to configure and operate the ProSAFE
®
S3300 Smart Switch family
by using the web-based graphical user interface (GUI). The manual describes the software
configuration procedures and explains the options available within those procedures. The S3300
switches are referred to as the NETGEAR switch throughout this document. The individual
switches are:
• S3300-28X
• S3300-28X-PoE+
• S3300-52X
• S3300-52X-PoE+
In Release 6.6.4, two M4300 product series are added to enhance the stacking capability of
S3300.
• The M4300-12X12F (XSM4324S) is a stackable, fully-managed L2+ Gigabit switch. This
24-port Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switch provides 12 * 10G Copper ports and 12 * 10G
Fiber ports.
• The M4300-24X (XSM4324CS) is a stackable, fully-managed L2+ Gigabit switch. It has
24 port 10GBASE-T with 4 shared SFP+.
These are the existing M4300 series switches that have been re-configured to act as S3300
switches. The capabilities of the switches will match the S3300 capabilities.
S3300 models can stack, up to six switches high. On S3300 models, any of the four 10G ports
can be configured as stacking ports. Two M4300 24-port 10G switches offer mixed stacking,
respecting the same rules for consistency:
• Six-switches total height
• On M4300 10G models, a maximum of four 10G ports (any four from below the eight
available ports) can be configured as stacking ports concurrently.
- M4300-12X12F: port 9–12 and port 21–24
- M4300-24X: port 17–24
In order to stack M4300 models with the S3300 models, you will need to procure standard
version M4300 switches, and apply a special firmware image to downgrade them to S3300
software for compatibility and mixed stacking. If you later want to go back to M4300 software on
the M4300 models running S3300 firmware, you can upgrade the M4300 models using the
