Switch Netgear AV LINE M4250-40G8F-POE GSM4248P — 40x 1G ports, PoE support

The Netgear AV LINE M4250-40G8F-POE (GSM4248P) is a managed network switch that delivers 40×1 Gigabit Ethernet ports along with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability. Engineered for audio/video and enterprise environments, the switch combines high-density connectivity with centralized power delivery to support devices such as PoE cameras, wireless access points and AV endpoints in studio, venue or corporate networks. Management features enable VLAN segmentation, traffic prioritization and link aggregation for stable and predictable network performance.

Advantages

This managed switch supports a large number of 1G ports in a single chassis while providing PoE to power connected devices without separate power supplies. Its management capabilities allow precise control over traffic flows, QoS settings and network segmentation to meet AV timing and enterprise security requirements. The combination of dense port count and PoE simplifies cabling and installation in installations where multiple powered devices are deployed across a site.

Suitable for

• Audio/video installations and signal distribution in venues and studios
• IP surveillance systems with multiple PoE cameras
• Wireless access point aggregation in offices and public spaces
• Managed enterprise LAN segments requiring VLANs and QoS

Key specifications

• 40 × 1 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports
• Integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) support for powering endpoints
• Managed switch functionality: VLANs, QoS, link aggregation and traffic control
• High-density 1U form factor suitable for rack mounting
• Designed for low-latency AV and enterprise network traffic

How to use

Install the switch in a standard equipment rack and connect the switch to the network core using uplink links. Attach powered devices to the PoE-capable Gigabit ports and configure PoE settings through the management interface to allocate power as required. Use the management console or web interface to create VLANs, set QoS priorities for AV streams, and enable link aggregation where higher throughput or redundancy is needed. Monitor port and power usage to ensure devices operate within available budgets.

Usage recommendations

Plan PoE power budgets before deployment to ensure total connected device consumption does not exceed the switch’s available PoE power. For latency-sensitive AV applications, enable QoS and isolate traffic with VLANs. Use aggregated uplinks for increased bandwidth to the core network and schedule firmware updates during maintenance windows.
