and later this year Q2 or Q3 they are going to launch the WLAN AP named WNDAP740 that is coming
also together with this NBase-T ports. Would be nice to get better wireless ac performance.
Core Switch for routing:
M7300 + Layer3 license - Bigger Core Switch
fully Layer3 routing static or dynamic (RIP,OSPF,VRRP,ECMP,ProxyARP,Multinetting)
M4300 - smaller Core Switch
fully Layer3 routing static or dynamic (VRRP,HRSP, RIP, OSPF, PIM, PBR)
NBase-T:
M4200 Layer2+, NBase-T Switch for Wave2 11ac wireless access points
8 x 2,5 GBit/s PoE+ Ports
2 x 5,0 GBit/s (Combo Ports 2,5 GBit/s or 5,0 GBit/s)
2 x SFP+ 10 GBit/s Slots
