NETGEAR XSM4556 — M4500-48XF8C Managed Switch with 48x10G/25G SFP28 ports and 8x40G/50G/100G QSFP28 uplinks, 2xPSUs and 6xFan Trays already installed

The NETGEAR M4500‑48XF8C is a next‑generation, fully managed 56‑port 10G/25G/100G Ethernet switch engineered for professional AV‑over‑IP, large enterprise networks, and high‑bandwidth applications. Combining the configurability of a traditional matrix switch with the flexibility and scalability of Ethernet, the M4500 delivers line‑rate performance, simplified multicast handling, and robust reliability demanded by mission‑critical infrastructures.

Equipped with 48 × 10G/25G SFP28 ports and 8 × 100G QSFP28 uplinks, the M4500‑48XF8C provides massive switching capacity and is optimized for spine‑and‑leaf network designs, including fully redundant topologies with MLAG support. Installers can deploy large AV networks without complex setup—thanks to NETGEAR IGMP Plus™, the switch comes pre‑configured out of the box for fast and seamless multicast video distribution.

Designed for enterprise‑grade resilience, the switch includes two hot‑swappable 750W power supply units and six redundant fan trays, providing 1+1 power and 4+2 fan redundancy for maximum uptime. Advanced IPv4/IPv6 security—such as control plane policing, DHCP snooping, IP Source Guard, and malicious code detection—ensures the M4500‑48XF8C operates securely even in high‑risk or large‑scale environments.

The M4500‑48XF8C supports extensive Layer 3 routing protocols, including OSPFv3, BGP4, VRF‑Lite, static routing, PIM‑SM/SM6, and policy‑based routing, making it well‑suited for complex enterprise networks. It also offers powerful link aggregation capabilities, including up to 64 LAG groups and Multi‑Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) for maximum throughput and fault tolerance.

With its high‑capacity design, advanced routing, and AV‑optimized architecture, the NETGEAR M4500‑48XF8C is ideal for Pro AV deployments, broadcast environments, universities, arenas, data centers, and any network requiring exceptional scalability and performance.
