Netgear GSM4230P-100NAS 26-Port PoE+ Managed AV Line Switch
Overview
The Netgear GSM4230P-100NAS, part of the M4250 AV Line, is a purpose-built managed switch engineered specifically for professional audio-visual over IP (AVoIP) deployments. Unlike standard enterprise switches that require extensive manual configuration for multicast traffic, the GSM4230P features a dedicated AV web-based interface. This allows integrators to deploy pre-configured profiles for common protocols such as Dante, Q-SYS, and AES67, significantly reducing setup time and technical friction in the field.
Key Features
– Pre-configured AV profiles for Dante, NDI, and AES67.
– 300W PoE+ budget across 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
– Reversible mounting for flexible rack cable management.
– Dedicated AV web interface for simplified port mapping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this switch support AVB (Audio Video Bridging)?
Yes, the GSM4230P supports AVB; however, it requires an optional electronic license (sold separately) to enable these specific features.
Can the fans be turned off for quiet environments?
The switch features a “Fan Off” mode for completely silent operation, provided the internal temperature remains within safe limits and the PoE load is low.
Is the management interface different from standard Netgear switches?
Yes, it includes a specialized AV UI that uses color-coded port mapping and pre-defined profiles for media protocols, alongside the traditional IT-focused GUI.
