Frequently asked questions
What is the PoE budget?
The PoE budget is 1,440 W (720 W with one PSU).
Can M4250 switches be stacked?
No. NETGEAR lists stacking as not supported on the M4250 series; switches are interconnected with Auto-LAG/Auto-Trunk and IGMP Plus instead.
Does it have redundant power?
It has two internal fixed PSUs with embedded RPS/EPS. The full 1,440 W PoE budget uses both PSUs; with one PSU the budget is 720 W.
