NETGEAR ProSafe Smart
Switches fill the gap between unmanaged
and fully managed switches. The family
of ProSafe Smart Switches is designed
for growing businesses that want control
over their network without the cost and
complexity of a full Layer 2/Layer 3
management implementation. This second
generation Smart Switch, FS726T, with
affordable built-in gigabit power,
easily connects to servers or a
Gigabit-speed backbone for a non-stop
10/100/1000-enabled network that can
quickly deliver large multimedia, image,
and video files. With the utility of 24
10/100 Mbps ports, 2 copper 10/100/1000
ports and an SFP slot for optional fiber
connectivity, growing business networks,
classrooms and workgroups can benefit
from superior performance and keep up
with expanding network needs. This
high-performance switch features a
non-blocking wire-speed architecture
with an 8.8Gbps switching capacity for
maximum data throughput. All 26 RJ-45
ports automatically negotiate to the
highest speed and support Auto Uplink™
technology to make the right link. In
addition, an intuitive, Web-browser
interface offers the simple Smart Switch
management, making it a snap to monitor
switch performance, configure ports,
even set up port trunks, VLANs, and
traffic prioritization. Alternatively,
use SNMP-based software to manage your
Smart Switch.** Shipped ready for use
straight out of the box, it delivers
switching that’s easy to set up and use.
NETGEAR ProSafe Smart Switches are ideal
for adding basic management to your
unmanaged networks and extending your
managed networks.
