For IT infrastructure engineers, the M4300-28G simplifies complex deployments with its non-stop forwarding (NSF) virtual chassis stacking. This architecture allows for hitless failover across the stack, ensuring that if a master switch fails, the backup takes over without interrupting data flow. The unit is pre-configured for out-of-the-box AV-over-IP using IGMP Plus, which eliminates the need for manual multicast configuration in SDVoE environments. Whether deployed at the campus edge or as a top-of-rack switch in a small data center, the GSM4328-100NES supports advanced routing protocols like OSPF, VRRP, and PIM. Its modular power supply design ensures hardware redundancy, making it a reliable choice for mission-critical infrastructure where downtime is not an option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this switch be used for SDVoE applications?
Yes, the M4300 series is specifically optimized for AV-over-IP. It comes with IGMP Plus enabled by default, which simplifies multicast traffic management across the network without complex manual programming.
Does the GSM4328-100NES support redundant power?
Yes, it features a modular power supply bay. While it ships with one APS250W unit, a second power supply can be added to provide 1+1 redundancy, ensuring the switch remains operational if one PSU fails.
How many units can be stacked together in a single logical chassis?
You can stack up to 8 switches in a single logical unit. The M4300 series supports mixed stacking, allowing you to combine 1G and 10G models within the same stack for maximum port density and flexibility.
