M4200 and M4300 Series ProSAFE Managed Switches Web Management User Manual
Release Overview
The NETGEAR Prosafe Managed software version 12.0.2 is for the M4200 and M4300
Series ProSAFE Managed Switches with 10G uplinks.
These switches introduce the following new features:
Support for link dependency
The link dependency feature lets you enable or disable one or more ports based on the
link state of one or more different ports. With link dependency enabled on a port, the link
state of that port depends on the link state of another port. For example, if port A depends
on port B and the switch detects a link loss on port B, the switch automatically brings
down the link on port A. When the link is restored to port B, the switch automatically
restores the link to port A. For more information, see Configure Link Dependency on
page 139.
Capability to send syslog messages can be sent to a to a USB flash storage drive. For
more information, see Configure the Syslog Settings on page 631.
Capability to send packets that are mirrored from the CPU to a USB flash storage drive.
For more information, see Packet Capturing on page 673.
Support for an out-of-band (OOB) port.
