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...
I want 24 GigaEthernet copper port with SFP uplinks.
So no multigig ethernet is needed?
What speed do you want for the SFP ports?
Any requirement for PoE?
These are possibilities

All have 24 copper ports and 4 SFP ports.
Hello sir,
I check all the models suggested by you. But i found following details:
- MSM4328F - Has 24 1G SFP ports + 4 Combo Ports & Non-PoE
- GSM4328 - Has 24 1G Copper Ports + 4 SFPs, PoE
- XSM4328cv- Has 24 10G Copper Ports + 4 SFPs, PoE
In my case, I don't want PoE switch. So I have to skip GSM4328 and XSM4328cv. When MSM4328F has all SFP ports, which won't fulfil my requirements. I basically want a L3 switch with the following criteria:
- L3 Switch
- Non-PoE switch
- 24-Port Copper Ports (1 GBPS)
- 4-Ports SFP Ports (1GBPS or 10GBPS)

Note this is user-to-user forum, not a Netgear support site. I don't work for Netgear, and am just giving you a couple of options to consider.
Almost all Netgear's L3 switches have PoE. Of course you don't need to use that feature.
The closest fully managed switch in Netgear's lineup is the GSM4328.
The fullly managed switch lineup is here:
There are also a couple of "cloud smart" switch models that have what Netgear calls "Layer 3 Lite" features.

Not sure if they would meet all your L3 requirements. If they do, then I suggest the GS728 version - a few more ports than you need, but the cloud management is optional for that one.
You can get the manuals for all of these - generally if you just google the switch model (adding support), you will see the Netgear support page for the switch at or near the top of the list.
Sorry sir for my last reply. Apology.. I am also here to seek for the guidance.
I have checked GS724T and GS724TP switches, they do not have full L3 features.
What I found here is GSM4328S switch.
