M4300 Series Switches NETGEAR® M4300 switches are configured for true AV-over-IP right out of the box, enabling cost-effective integration and Zero-Touch install of SDVoE systems: • IGMP Snooping is Enabled on default VLAN-1 • IGMP Querier is Enabled on default VLAN-1 • IGMP Fast Leave is Enabled on default VLAN-1 • Drop Unregistered Multicast Traffic is default behavior This means that the stand alone NETGEAR M4300 switch can be used out of the box as is with SDVoE devices, with no further configuration:
Interconnecting M4300 series switches The largest NETGEAR M4300 switch is the modular M4300-96X that can have up to 96-port 10G Ethernet copper and/or fiber, with PoE options. But what if the total number of SDVoE endpoints exceeds 96 devices? The NETGEAR M4300 series implements sophisticated stacking capability that makes it very simple to interconnect up to eight M4300 switches.
Create a stack using CLI Step 1: Login to first switch, assign priority and configure stack ports User:admin Password: (M4300-8X8F) (M4300-8X8F) (M4300-8X8F) (M4300-8X8F) (M4300-8X8F) (M4300-8X8F) (M4300-8X8F) (M4300-8X8F) (M4300-8X8F) >enable #config (Config)#switch 1 priority 15 (Config)#stack (Config-stack)#stack-port 1/0/14 stack (Config-stack)#stack-port 1/0/16 stack (Config-stack)#exit (Config)#exit #save Step 2: Login to second switch, assign priority and configure stack ports User:admin Password:
Create a stack using GUI Step 1: Login to first switch, assign priority and configure stack ports Page 5
Step 2: Login to second switch, assign priority and configure stack ports Page 6
Step 3: Reload (reboot) the first switch Step 4: While the first switch is booting, connect the stacking cables (in this case copper CAT-6A cables) Step 5: While the first switch is still booting, reload (reboot) the second switch Step 6: Check the stack, after second switch has started NETGEAR, the NETGEAR logo and ProSAFE are trademarks and/or registered trademarks of NETGEAR, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries in the United States and/or Page 7 to change without notice. ©2018 NETGEAR, Inc.
