What are the switching performance specs?

Switching capacity is 96 Gbps line-rate, forwarding rate 71.42 Mpps, and latency <2.46µs at 1G. Jumbo frames up to 12KB ensure efficient handling of large AV over IP packets without fragmentation.

Does it support AV protocols like IGMP and PTP?

Yes, features enhanced NETGEAR IGMP Plus™ for multicast optimization in Dante/Q-SYS/AES67, PTPv2 Transparent Clock (1-step E2E) for precise timing, and AVB with electronic license (AVB4248P-10000S). Pre-configured AV profiles simplify setup.

What management options are available?

Management via IT web GUI, console, Telnet, SSH. Supports DHCP/BootP auto-installation for firmware/config upload. Out-of-band management suits enterprise AV/IT hybrid networks.

What is the physical form factor and weight?

1U rackmount chassis measures 440 x 400 x 43.2 mm (WxDxH), weighs 5.85 kg (12.9 lb). Rear-facing ports with reversed mounting option and M5/M10 holes ensure clean integration in AV racks.

What Layer 3 routing protocols are supported?

Includes static IPv4/IPv6 routing, RIP, and PIM-SM/DM/SSM multicast. Combined with 8 x SFP ports, it enables scalable AV backbone routing in enterprise deployments.
