NETGEAR M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ (GSM4212PX) AV Line 8-Port Managed Rackmount Gigabit PoE+ Switch w/ 2 x 1GbE RJ45 Ports & 2 x 10GbE SFP+ Ports (240W)

NETGEAR M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ (GSM4212PX) AV Line 8-Port Managed Rackmount Gigabit PoE+ Switch w/ 2 x 1GbE RJ45 Ports & 2 x 10GbE SFP+ Ports (240W)

NETGEAR (GSM4212PX-100EUS) M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ AV Line 8 Port Gigabit Switch was developed and engineered for audio/video professionals with dedicated service support. AV codecs generally use 1Gbps or 10Gbps per stream and the AV Line of the M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ targets the widespread 1Gbps codecs.

This switch comes pre-configured for standard audio and video signals. When requirements are more specific, an AV user interface offers customization with port-based profiles. For audio, Dante, Q-SYS and AES67 profiles are available, as well as an AVB profile (requires an AVB license). For video, the M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ offers profiles for NVX, SVSI, Q-SYS, NDI, Dante, etc. as well as audio/video/control mixed profiles.

Key Features

• Eight (8) 1GbE PoE+ 802.3at ports.


• Two (2) 1GbE RJ45 ports and two (2) 10GbE SFP+ fiber uplinks.


• PoE budget of 240W (30W per port).


• Ideal for multi-switch audio and video deployments.


• Fanless mode possible with max 25ºC ambient, 35ºC internal sensor and 45W PoE loading.

NETGEAR IGMP Plus

NETGEAR IGMP Plus automatically multicasts across a M4250/M4300/M4500 L2 network (Spine and Leaf topologies), removing the need for L3 PIM routing.

• IGMP Plus is pre-configured on default VLAN 1 out of the box.


• IGMP Plus can be configured on another VLAN for automatic IGMP across switches on that VLAN (uplinks can make part of that VLAN in trunk mode).


• IGMP Plus allow AV-over-IP devices (TX/Encoders and RX/Decoders) to be connected across multiple switches in a star topology.


• The show snooping group command in CLI and GUI displays the Source and Group IP addresses along with their corresponding MAC addresses that are learnt through IGMP Snooping in a given VLAN on a given interface.

Extended Features

• Dedicated AV web-based GUI interface for more specific AV installations.


• Colour-based AV profiles can be applied to the different ports.


• Dante, Q-SYS, AES67 and AVB audio profiles.


• AVB requires an AVB4212P-10000S license.


• NVX, SVSI, Q-SYS, NDI and Dante video profiles.


• Audio / video / control mixed profiles.


• Automatic switch interconnect with NETGEAR IGMP Plus.


• Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching engine.


• Built-in IT web GUI, console, telnet and SSH consistent with other NETGEAR M4xxx series.


• Feature set includes static, RIP and PIM routing, DHCP Server and PTPv2.

Support for Audio Video Bridging (AVB)

One of the many features designed into the M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ is full support for Audio Video Bridging (AVB), an industry standard for transporting content over a network. AVB is used most often when very low latency is required such as in live performances when lip sync is critical. The M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ can be optionally licensed for AVB support.
