NETGEAR GSM7228L-10000S L3 Upgrade License
Overview
The NETGEAR GSM7228L-10000S is an L3 upgrade license for the GSM7228S commercial-grade managed switch. This license enables Layer 3 routing, advanced VLAN management, and QoS policy controls — converting a basic L2 switch into a full routing platform suitable for segmented enterprise networks where you need IP-based traffic steering and inter-VLAN routing without deploying a separate router. Factory-new, sourced direct from the manufacturer or US distributor.
Compatibility
This upgrade license is designed exclusively for the NETGEAR GSM7228S switch. It activates L3 capabilities on that platform, adding support for static routing, dynamic routing protocols (RIP, OSPF), and VLAN-based traffic policies. Verify your GSM7228S serial number and firmware revision before applying the license — deployment without a compatible base unit will not function.
Installation Notes
License activation is performed via the switch's management interface (web GUI or CLI). No physical installation is required. Ensure your GSM7228S is running current firmware before license activation. Once applied, the license persists through power cycles and firmware updates on the same hardware unit. If the switch is replaced or decommissioned, the license key is tied to that specific unit and cannot be transferred to another device.
