Duxbury Networking has announced the local availability of the Netgear S3600 Series Smart Switches, including the 8-Port 10G multi-gigabit (XS508TM) and 16-Port 10G multi-gigabit (XS516TM).

The Netgear S3600 Series Smart Switches include user-friendly Web management which streamlines initial configuration for quick onboarding at the access layer of a business network. It features 2 x 10G SFP+ Fiber uplink ports, perfect for a local 10G server or uplink aggregation to the business’s network core.

Additionally, they provide advanced Smart switch features such as IPv6 Layer 2+/3 static routing, DiffServ QoS policies, LACP, broadcast/multicast/unicast control, DHCP, and more.

The Netgear S3600 Series Smart Switches provide easy-to-configure setup and management. A built-in user interface is included to give business owners full control over configuration, while setting up and managing the switch is even more convenient through the Netgear Insight cloud management platform.

Insight provides comprehensive remote configuration and troubleshooting for NETGEAR Pro Routers, Pro WiFi Access Points, and Smart Cloud Managed Switches. Network managers can easily deploy, manage, and monitor every aspect of the network all from a single pane-of-glass.

Additional technical specifications include:

  • 8 or 16 x 10G multi-gigabit ethernet ports for flexible and auto-adaptive wired connectivity of high bandwidth devices. Connect devices instantly and give each device exactly the speed they need: 1G, 2.5G, 5G, or 10G, automatically.
  • Non-blocking switching with 200Gbps (XS508TM) or 360Gbps (XS516TM) line rate fabric. Get all the connectivity you want to your devices across all ports of 10G multi-gigabit ethernet plus two 10G SFP+ fibre uplink ports (1G/10GBASE-X fibre SFP+), without congestion and in full duplex mode.
  • Configurable L2/L2+ network features (VLANs, Rapid Spanning Tree, IGMP Snooping/Querier/Fast Leave, and more). Intuitive Web management streamlines initial configuration for rapid onboarding at the access layer of your network.
  • Auto “denial-of-service” (DoS) prevention. Detects, defends, mitigates, and protects against possible DoS attacks targeting your business, like a faulty device flooding your network.
  • SNMP v1, v2c, v3, and RMON remote monitoring. Can take full advantage of a central SNMP management tool.
  • Netgear Insight Cloud management ready. Remote/Cloud management and monitoring enabled. Simply activate the Insight Management Option through the GUI – 1-Year Insight subscription is included.
  • Smart Command-Line Interface (CLI). Text view management interface that enables users to manage all network devices on a single pane of glass.
  • Port mirroring for network monitoring that lets admins transport network packets captured on one or several ports across the switch to a destination on another port with a sniffer.
  • Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) for maximum power savings. The latest energy-saving abilities include per-port automatic lower power mode when the port link is down, or idle.
  • Quiet rackmount, wall mount, or desktop operation – Temperature-based fan-speed control minimises system acoustic noise with a maximum 28.63 dBA at 25°C ambient.
