Note

Overview

The switch provides 24 or 48 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports, 2 dedicated Gigabit SFP fiber ports, and 2

dedicated 10G SFP+ fiber ports. All copper ports use RJ-45 connectors.The SFP ports require a standard

small form-factor pluggable (SFP) gigabit interface converter (GBIC, also referred to as a transceiver module),

which is sold separately from the switch.The switch integrates full-duplex, nonblocking switch fabric that

provides full-wire speed for all packet sizes.

The PoE+ models supports PoE on all copper ports with a maximum PoE power budget of 390W (model

GC728XP) or 505W (model GC752XP) across all active PoE+ ports.

For information about application examples, see Applications on page 26.Note

The switch provides management options that let you discover the switch on the network and configure,

monitor, and control the switch:

• NETGEAR Insight app. Using the NETGEAR Insight app, you can discover the switch on the network

and add the switch to the NETGEAR Insight app so that you can set up the switch in the network and

manage and monitor the switch remotely from your smartphone.You can choose from four methods to

add the switch to the NETGEAR Insight app:You can scan your network for the switch, scan the QR

code or the barcode of the switch, or add the serial number of the switch. For more information, see the

NETGEAR knowledge base articles at netgear.com/support.

• Insight Cloud portal. Using the NETGEAR Insight Cloud portal, you can set up the switch in the network,

perform advanced remote management, monitor the switch, analyze the switch and network usage,

and, if necessary, troubleshoot the switch and the network.

• Local browser–based management interface. By default, the management mode of the switch is set

to NETGEAR Insight App.With this setting you can manage the switch using the Insight app or the

Insight Cloud portal. For complex tasks such as integrating with an existing network of devices that are

not managed through Insight, and for debugging purposes, you can change the management mode of

the switch to PC Web-browser and access the local browser interface. In this mode, you can change

the settings of the specific device, but we recommend that you do not use this mode to change settings

that are Insight manageable because they would not be synchronized with Insight or to the network

location and other devices to which you assigned the switch.

Changes to Insight-manageable settings from the local browser interface might also

create conflicts with the rest of the Insight-managed network to which the device is

connected.While you manage the switch with the local browser interface, you cannot

use the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal.To reenable management of the device

remotely or through the cloud, you can return the management mode to NETGEAR

Insight App at any time so that you can manage the switch with the Insight app or

Insight Cloud portal.

Note

For more information about the local browser interface, see the user manual, which you can download

from downloadcenter.netgear.com.

Introduction

Insight Managed 28-Port and 52-Port Gigabit Ethernet (PoE+) Smart Cloud Switch

Switch Hardware Interfaces

The following sections describe the hardware interfaces on the switch.

RJ-45 Ports for 10/100/1000M BASE-T Ethernet Connectivity

All RJ-45 copper ports support autosensing.When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch

automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps) and duplex mode (half-duplex

or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support a Category 5e (Cat 5e) cable (or higher-rated Ethernet

cable) terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 connector.

To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink technology.This

technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or crossover cables.

When you insert a cable into the switch’s RJ-45 port, the switch automatically performs the following actions:

• Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.

• Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a normal connection (such as when you

are connecting the port to a computer) or an uplink connection (such as when you are connecting the

port to a router, switch, or hub).

• Automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device.The Auto

Uplink technology compensates for setting uplink connections while eliminating concern about whether

to use crossover or straight-through cables when you attach devices.

All RJ-45 copper ports on model GC728XP and model GC752XP support Power over Ethernet (PoE+).

Hardware Overview

Insight Managed 28-Port and 52-Port Gigabit Ethernet (PoE+) Smart Cloud Switch

SFP and SFP+ Ports for Fiber Connectivity

To enable fiber connections on the switch, SFP and SFP+ fiber ports accommodate standard small form-factor

pluggable (SFP) gigabit interface converters (GBICs, also referred to as transceiver modules). GBICs are

sold separately from the switch.

The switch supports the NETGEAR SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules that are listed in the following table.

not exceed 16.4 feet (5 meters).

Note

USB Port

The switch provides one USB 2.0 port that lets you upload firmware, upload or download (back up) the

configuration settings file, and download a memory dump (for debugging purposes) using a USB storage

device.

The USB storage device that you attach to the USB port must comply with the following requirements:

• The USB device must support USB 2.0.

• The USB device must support the FAT32 or VFAT file type.The NTFS file type is not supported.

This chapter describes the installation procedures for the switch. Switch installation involves the steps described

in the following sections:

• Step 1: Prepare the Site

• Step 2: Protect Against Electrostatic Discharge

• Step 3: Unpack the Switch

• Step 4: Install the Switch

• Optional Step 5: Install SFP Transceiver Modules

• Step 6: Connect Devices to the Switch

• Step 7: Check the Installation

• Step 8: Apply Power and Check the LEDs

• Step 9: Manage the Switch

Step 1: Prepare the Site

Before you install the switch, make sure that the operating environment meets the site requirements that

are listed in the following table.

Table 6. Site requirements

RequirementsCharacteristics

Desktop installations. Provide a flat table or shelf surface.

Rack-mount installations. Use a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack

that is grounded and physically secure.You also need the rack-mount kit that is supplied

with the switch.

Mounting

Locate the switch in a position that allows you to access the front panel ports, view the front

panel LEDs, and access the power connector on the back panel.

Access

Use the AC power cord that is supplied with the switch. Make sure that the AC outlet is not

controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off power to the outlet and the switch.

Power source

Route cables to avoid sources of electrical noise such as radio transmitters, broadcast

amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.

Cabling

Temperature. Install the switch in a dry area with an ambient temperature between 32ºF

and 122ºF (0ºC and 50ºC). Keep the switch away from heat sources such as direct sunlight,

warm-air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.

Operating humidity.The maximum relative humidity of the installation location must not

exceed 90 percent, noncondensing.

Ventilation. Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the sides of the

switch. Keep at least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) free on all sides for cooling.The room or

wiring closet in which you install the switch must provide adequate airflow.

Operating conditions. Keep the switch at least 6 feet (1.83 meters) away from the nearest

source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.

Environmental

Step 2: Protect Against Electrostatic Discharge

WARNING:

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system.To prevent

static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch

any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor.You can do

so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the switch.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
