Advanced QoS and VLAN support for network segmentation.
Frequently Asked Questions :
Does the GS748-100NAS support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, the GS748-100NAS is a non-PoE switch. If your deployment requires powering IP phones or wireless access points directly from the switch, you should consider the Netgear GS752P or GS752TPP models.
Are the SFP ports shared with the copper RJ45 ports?
On the GS748-100NAS (v5), the four SFP ports are dedicated. This allows you to utilize all 48 copper ports for end-user devices while simultaneously using the 4 SFP ports for high-speed uplinks or stacking.
Can this switch be managed via a command-line interface (CLI)?
This is a Smart Managed switch designed primarily for configuration via a web-based GUI. While it offers limited text-based management for basic tasks, it does not support a full industry-standard CLI like the Netgear M-series fully managed switches.
