Is this switch stackable, and how?

Yes, it supports NSF virtual chassis stacking up to 8 units with hitless failover using any 10G port (RJ45 or SFP+). This enables a single logical switch with distributed link aggregation for zero downtime and load balancing in core/edge setups.

What Layer 3 features are included?

Layer 3 management includes static, policy-based, RIP, VRRP, OSPF, and PIM dynamic routing for IPv4/IPv6. Supports advanced fault-tolerant routing for VLANs, subnets, and multicast, with no licensing required for full L2/L3/L4 feature set.

Does it support redundant power supplies?

Yes, full-width models like the M4300-52G support dual redundant modular PSUs with 1+1 protection. This ensures business continuity, with max power consumption around 47.4W, suitable for high-availability enterprise deployments.

What is the form factor and cooling?

1U rack-mountable full-width chassis with front-to-back cooling for hot/cold aisle compliance and acoustic noise of 31.5dB at 25°C. Includes OOB management via 1G Ethernet service port and RS232 console for easy IT administration.

Is it suitable for Pro AV-over-IP?

Yes, with IGMP Plus for scalable Layer 2 multicast, pre-configured AV profiles, and SDVoE readiness. 10G ports handle video traffic without PIM routing complexity, perfect for professional AV installations alongside enterprise networking.
