NETGEAR GSM4230UP — M4250-26G4F-PoE++ Managed Switch 24x1G PoE+ 1,440W 2x1G and 4xSFP (GSM4230UP)

NETGEAR GSM4230UP Fully Managed Gigabit PoE++ Switch with 10G Fibre Uplinks

The NETGEAR GSM4230UP is a fully managed Layer 3 Gigabit PoE++ switch designed for
small to mid‑size business and professional AV environments that require high‑power PoE,
reliable Gigabit access, and fast fibre uplinks. Part of the NETGEAR M4250 AV Line, the GSM4230UP
is purpose‑built for AV‑over‑IP, WiFi, surveillance, and powered device‑rich networks.

High‑Power Gigabit PoE++ Access

The GSM4230UP provides high‑density Gigabit Ethernet PoE++ access, delivering up to
90W per port to support demanding edge devices such as WiFi 6 access points,
PTZ cameras, LED controllers, encoders/decoders, and other power‑intensive network equipment.
This eliminates the need for external power injectors and simplifies installation.

10G Fibre Uplinks for Aggregation and Core Connectivity

To support uplink and aggregation requirements, the switch includes multiple
10G SFP+ fibre uplink ports. These uplinks provide the bandwidth required for
AV‑over‑IP traffic, wireless backhaul, and data aggregation to upstream switches or cores,
ensuring smooth and congestion‑free network performance.

Optimised for AV‑over‑IP Deployments

Designed with AV professionals in mind, the GSM4230UP features built‑in multicast optimisation
and an AV‑focused management interface that simplifies setup and configuration.
Pre‑configured AV profiles allow rapid deployment of audio, video, and control networks with
minimal manual tuning.

Simplified Management for IT and AV Teams

The switch supports both an AV‑centric web interface and a traditional IT management interface,
along with command‑line access and centralized management options. This dual‑interface design
allows AV integrators and SMB IT teams to manage the network using familiar tools and workflows.

Quiet, Compact, and Installation‑Friendly Design

The GSM4230UP is designed for quiet operation, making it suitable for studios, conference rooms,
and other noise‑sensitive environments. Its compact rack‑mount form factor
fits cleanly into server rooms, wiring closets, and AV racks.
