Suggestion for L3 switch
Hello everyone, I am designing a new office network with Netgear devices. Check the network topology below. My design will have VLANs. For access layer, I have planned GS724T and GS724...
Hello,
- On the very first post, I have not mentioned "PoE" anywhere, it clearly means that it is not needed..!
- In VLAN architecture, I tried to configure default route (which point to Internet gateway device) on GS724 and GS724TP switches, but it gave error.

Understood. On the other hand, it doesn't get in the way if you end up with a switch that has it. I'm not seeing many sellers for the GSM4328S, so IMO you should be open to getting the GSM4328 if price or availability is better. It has everything you want, plus one feature you don't care about.
In VLAN architecture, I tried to configure default route (which point to Internet gateway device) on GS724 and GS724TP switches, but it gave error.
I think that should have worked. Can you give more details on settings and the error? If price is a consideration, the GS724 is of course much cheaper than the M4300 series.
FWIW, I agree with schumaku's comment on harmonization also. It will likely work out better if you stick with one series - either the cheaper GS724 models if they meet your needs, or the more capable M4300 models if they don't.
