    Hi boe,

     

    Yes, it should work. However, the M4300 loses some of its functions and matches those with the S3300 when stacked.

Hi Team,

 

For mixed S3300/M4300 stack, please refer to: https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/switches/smartswitches/S3300-M4300-Mixed-Stacking-Application-Note.pdf and the associated KB: https://kb.netgear.com/000049533/Smart-M4300-S3300-Stacking-Notes-and-Restrictions

 

The procedure is explained here:https://kb.netgear.com/000049532/Smart-M4300-S3300-Firmware-Upgrade-Procedure

 

Latest S3300 firmware also explains this in the release note: https://kb.netgear.com/000063999?_ga=2.249224836.229795878.1644834875-18903587.1639681594

 

Only M4300 24-port 10G models below support this:

  • M4300-12X12F XSM4324S
  • M4300-24X XSM4324CS

I hope this helps,
