As a leading provider of network equipment for SMBs, NETGEAR® understands the importance of reliable and high performance networks. With the growth of virtualization,
cloud-based services and applications like VoIP, video streaming and IP surveillance, SMB networks need to extend beyond simple reliability to simpler management and remote
monitoring to ensure your network is “always up”. NETGEAR also understands that small business owners shouldn’t have to understand networking and IT; they need a network that’s easy-to-setup and is reliable, so they can focus on their business, not their network. To that end, NETGEAR is introducing our most versatile and easy-to-manage switches ever, NETGEAR

Insight Managed Smart Cloud switches.
The Insight Managed Smart Cloud Gigabit Ethernet/10G SFP+ Switches are the first switches from NETGEAR with anywhere configuration and management. Using either the NETGEAR Insight app on your mobile device or tablet, or the Insight Cloud Portal from your PC, Mac, or tablet, you can quickly discover, setup, monitor and manage your Smart Cloud Switches from anywhere in the world! With their remote cloud manageability, sleek design, and combination of Gigabit copper, Gigabit SFP fiber, and 10G SFP+ fiber ports, Insight Managed Smart Cloud Switches are the most versatile switches in the market for any environment. Whether at home, out of the office or on a business trip, you can still manage and monitor your network as if you were right there

Your network. Anytime. Anywhere.
The NETGEAR Inisght Managed Smart Cloud Switches fundamentally change the way you think of networks and IT. Using the NETGEAR Insight mobile app or the Insight Cloud Portal with Insight. Managed Smart Cloud Switches and Wireless Access Points provides:

• Instant in-app device discovery & set-up
• Local or remote configuration and monitoring from your mobile device, PC, Mac or tablet
• Centralized network configuration polices with auto-join and configure (zero-touch provisioning)
• Multi-site/multi-network remote management and monitoring with single pane-of-glass view
• Multi-switch/multi-port concurrent configuration using the Port Config Wizard

Remote monitoring and management from the palm of your hand!
With the NETGEAR Insight mobile app, you can setup, manage, and monitor your networks from anywhere, anytime, from the palm of your hand on your phone or tablet! Or, for a larger screen experience, you can use the Insight Cloud Portal from your PC, Mac, or tablet web browser.

Network-centric configuration and management
NETGEAR Insight Managed Switches and Wireless Access Points using the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight Cloud Portal allow for cross-device automated configuration of VLANs, QoS, ACLs,and LAGs. Auto-join and configure (zero-touch privisioning) allows for additional devices added and provisioned seamlessly

Fully-integrated cloud-manageable devices
NETGEAR Insight Managed switches are fully-integrated, cloud-manageable, plug-and-play devices. Just connect to your network and without any setup, they’re passing traffic. For configuration setup, management, and monitoring, you can use the Insight mobile app on your mobile device or the Insight Cloud Portal from your PC, Mac, or
tablet web browser. No additional cloud controller, appliance, network manager, or on-premise cloud server necessary.

Clean, sleek designs

Insight Managed switches have a modern, clean design, with at-a-glance cloud, power, fan, and PoE (On PoE models only GC728XP) LEDs for quick status monitoring. On-port LEDs for link/activity and PoE power (On PoE models only GC728XP) allow for port-specific connectivity monitoring.

Connectivity options for every environment
All models have 24 copper Gigabit Ethernet ports,two 1G SFP fiber ports, and two 10G SFP+ fiber ports for maximum connectivity. On PoE+ models (GC728XP) ,all 24 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports support PoE or PoE+, with a PoE power budget of 390W.
Dedicated Gigabit SFP and 10G SFP+ ports provide fiber uplinks for server interconnects or across long distances, or can be used to build dual redundancy by a trunked uplink with link aggregation and failover

Build a future-proof network with NETGEAR Insight Managed Switches

• Extensive L2+/L3 Lite switching features including static routing
• Comprehensive IPv6 management, QoS and ACL support, ensuring investment protection and a smooth migration to IPv6-based networking
• Advanced QoS with IPv4/IPv6 ingress traffic filtering (ACLs) and prioritization (QoS)
• Dynamic VLAN assignment for easy user authentication and location-independent access to network
• 390W PoE+ power budget (sólo modelos PoE), with the flexibility to serve power-hungry devices such as 11ac Wireless APs, VoIP voice and video phones, security/surveillance cameras including PTZ, and other IoT devices
• Advanced per-port PoE controls (set specific power budget per port in addition to automatic class-defined) and PoE scheduling (sólo modelos PoE)
