pre-sales support?
Where can I get some technical questions answered to help me choose which exact models of switches to order for my client? I've spent a good deal of time wading through the web site here, and the...
Variant 1
Smart Managed Pro Gigabit/10G SFP+ Switches with optional Remote/Cloud Management
Standalone local or cloud management, 2xSFP+ 10Gb, 2xSFP 1G), 28 and 52 port variants, PoE+ variants with 24 (max 390W) resp. 48 (max 505W). About 750 USD each at 52 PoE ports variant.
Variant 2
S3300 - Gigabit Stackable Smart Managed Pro Switches with 10G Copper/Fiber Uplinks
Stackable (max 4x10Gb), 28 and 52 port variants, PoE+ variants with 12 (max 195W) resp. 24 (max 390W). 450...1200 USD each.
Variant 3
M4300-28G/-54G, M4300-28G-PoE+ (550W or 1000W power supplies), M4300-54G-PoE+ (550W or 1000W power supplies) - all with 2xSFP+ 10Gb, 2x RJ45 10 Gb. USD 990 ... 1990 ... 2250 USD each. Two of the biggest ones for the list price (~USD 3900 of one Adtran 1560) - plus the best in class and unique IGMP Multicast implementation for audio and AV over IP.
Variant 4
My advise is to go for a platform supporting more than just 1G towards the clients computers and 10G stacking if really re-doing the network. Everything up to 5Gb would work on an existing CAT5a cabling. Current Wi-Fi 6 access points use 2.5G, more and more business noteboks come with 2.5G, business workstations come with MultiGig up to 5 or 10 Gb. A possible approach would be heading for the modular M4300-96X, with the required amount of 10GBASE-T (Fast Ethernet, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G speeds) 8 x 10GBASE-T port card and 8 x 10GBASE-T PoE+ port card, plus e.g one of the 8 x SFP+ port card, and/or a 40G QSFP+ Ports with two QSFP+ (4x10G and 40G speeds) for connecting servers or edge switches, ... everything paired with a pair of redundant power supplies based on the PoE+ needs. That makes a switch set-up good for at least the next decade - not just a year or two on plain GbE. Welcome 2021!
...one more thing: I'm zeroing in on Adtran 1560-series switches; what are Netgear's answers to that product?

For the M4300-96X Netgear has a nice configurator -> https://www.netgear.com/landings/M4300-96X-configurator/
Thanks, that is outstanding. Much appreciated. Very helpful.
