Auto-Video VLAN enables IGMP snooping to minimize broadcast streams.
Facilitate fast receiver joins and leaves for multicast streams. Save cost and
IGMP Snooping and MLD Snooping improve network efficiency by ensuring multicast traffic only reaches desig-
nated receivers without the need of an extra multicast router.
Ensure no exchange of unicast, broadcast, or multicast traffic between
the protected ports on the switch, thereby improving the security of your
Protected Ports converged network. This allows your sensitive phone phone
conversations to stay private and your surveillance video clips can be for-
warded to their designated storage device without leakage or alteration.
Ensure IP address allocation integrity by only allowing DHCP messages

a port or MAC address mismatch.

Why Smart switches with optional remote/cloud management?

NETGEAR is revolutionizing unified, centralized network management with it’s new line of Smart switches with optional remote/cloud
management and Wireless Access Points, all managed from the palm of your hand, anytime, anywhere, on your phone or tablet using
the NETGEAR Insight mobile app. Or, for a larger screen experience, from your PC, Mac, or tablet web browser using the Insight Cloud
Portal.
• Ideal for SMBs, offices, retail stores, education, healthcare, owner-operated businesses, etc.
• IT expert or no networking experience at all: Smart switches with optional remote/cloud management let you focus on your
business, not maintaining your network.

• Know immediately if and when your network is not running perfectly; not after you’ve already lost business or suffered significant
down-time.

• Advanced L2+/L3 Lite network features such as IPv4/IPv6 management, VLANs, DiffServ QoS, LACP Link Aggregation, Spanning
Tree, Static Routing, advanced per-port PoE controls and PoE scheduling will satisfy even the most advanced small business
networks.

• Fundamentally change and simplify network usability for easier and smoother deployment of voice, video, and WLAN on the same
converged platform.

• Industry-leading 5-year warranty on switches, 5-year Next-Business-Day (NBD) replacement, and 90-days free technical support**
for peace-of-mind. Extended ProSUPPORT service plans available for purchase.

Within small and medium-sized organizations, there is growing adoption of PoE devices such as VoIP phones, IP security cameras,
wireless access points, proximity sensors, LED lighting, door locks, and other IoT devices that require network switches capable of
supporting dense PoE installations. Wireless access points and pan-tilt-zoom HD cameras using Wave 2 802.11ac Wi-Fi also require
PoE+ power (802.3at), increasing the power demands on PoE switches. With a generous power budget of 390W (GC728XP) and 505W
(GC752XP), the PoE versions are designed to meet the current and future needs of wireless converged networks.
