The NETGEAR GSM4230P (M4250-26G4F-PoE+) AV Line 24-Port Managed Network Switch is a powerful, fully managed Ethernet solution designed for professional AV-over-IP, enterprise, and large network environments that require robust performance, flexible power delivery, and advanced traffic control. Part of Netgear’s AV Line series, this switch combines high-speed wired connectivity, comprehensive management capabilities, and generous Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) support — helping businesses and integrators build scalable, reliable, and efficient network infrastructures.
Featuring 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support and 4 SFP+ fiber uplink ports, the GSM4230P delivers gigabit performance on all copper ports while providing high-capacity 10 GbE uplinks for backbone connections or inter-switch links. PoE+ simplifies deployments of powered devices such as wireless access points, VoIP phones, PTZ cameras, digital signage players, and AV encoders/decoders, reducing the need for separate power sources and minimizing cabling complexity.
As a fully managed switch, the GSM4230P offers a rich set of configuration tools that give administrators control over network behavior. VLANs enable traffic segmentation for better security and performance, Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes latency-sensitive traffic like audio/video streams or voice calls, and Link Aggregation increases throughput and redundancy. Additional features including IGMP/MLD snooping, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and robust security options help optimize traffic flows and protect network segments in business, campus, or AV-centric installations.
Designed for reliable, long-term performance, the GSM4230P fits neatly into standard 19-inch rack cabinets, making it a professional choice for AV over IP, digital signage, large offices, education networks, or any environment where performance, manageability, and power delivery are essential.
