NETGEAR GSM4230P-100EUS network switch Managed L2/L3 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) Power over Ethernet (PoE) 1U Black

The NETGEAR GSM4230P-100EUS is a managed Layer 2/Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet switch with 30 RJ-45 ports and PoE+ capability. Pre-configured features such as NETGEAR IGMP Plus™ enable fast multicast support for AV-over-IP installations. The unit includes four SFP 1G fiber uplinks, two additional 1G ports, and a 300W PoE budget, delivered in a 1U rack-mountable, black housing suitable for professional network and AV deployments.

Advantages

This switch provides dedicated AV-focused controls through a web-based GUI with color-coded, port-based profiles tailored for audio and video workflows. Built-in profiles simplify setup for Dante, AES67 and multiple video systems (NVX, SVSI, Q-SYS, Dante video), while automatic configuration features (auto-trunk and auto-lag) speed deployment across multiple M4250-series switches in star topologies. Standard Layer 2/Layer 3 switching, PoE+ power delivery, and multiple control methods (web GUI, console, telnet, SSH) offer flexible management for IT and AV professionals.

Suitable for

• AV-over-IP installations requiring multicast handling and port-based AV profiles
• Small to medium business networks needing managed L2/L3 switching with PoE+
• Racked network equipment closets in venues, schools, or corporate sites

How to use

Mount the GSM4230P-100EUS in a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied brackets. Connect your Gigabit Ethernet devices to the RJ-45 ports and fibre links to the SFP uplinks. Use the AV-focused web GUI to assign color-coded port profiles for Dante, AES67 or video systems; enable IGMP Plus™ where multicast is required. Configure Layer 2/Layer 3 settings, VLANs and routing as needed via the built-in IT web GUI or via console/telnet/SSH for scripted deployments. Ensure total PoE consumption does not exceed the 300 W budget when connecting powered devices.

Recommendations

For multi-switch AV deployments, enable the automatic auto-trunk and auto-lag functions to streamline configuration across M4250-series switches. If using AVB audio, obtain the required AVB license before assigning AVB profiles.
