M6100: The Latest Advances in Hardware and Software Engineering for Higher Flexibility, Lower Complexity and Stronger Investment Protection, at a High-Value Price Point.
The NETGEAR Chassis M6100 series delivers L2/L3/L4 and IPv4/IPv6 rich services for enterprise edge and SMB core deployments, as well as 1G / 10G mixed infrastructures in server rooms. Innovative distributed fabric provides non-stop forwarding resiliency and world-class availability - including passive backplane, hitless failover, redundant fabric and redundant management - without having to pay the exorbitant acquisition and maintenance costs associated by other networking vendors in this class.
World-class availability
- Dependable continuity of operations with non-stop switching, non-stop routing and hitless failover supported for both fabric and management
- N+1 redundancy for power supplies and loop-free, disruption-free multi-chassis link aggregation (MLAG)
High speed performance
- 1.4 Tbps total routing / switching capacity and up to 1,071 Mpps intra-blade throughput
- 480 Gbps distributed fabric inter-module with each slot providing 2 x 40G access to the passive backplane (80G half-duplex; 160G full-duplex)
Extra high-density
- Only 4U height (7 inches - 17.78cm) and 17.39 inches depth (44.16cm)
- Supports 144 RJ45 10/100/1000 ports, or 120 SFP 100/1000 ports, or 72 RJ45 10GBASE-T ports, or 48 SFP+ 1000/10GBASE-X ports, or a combination
Higher flexibility
- Distributed fabric removes the need for a dedicated supervisory module yet providing passive backplane, redundant fabric and redundant management
- Any I/O blade spares hardware and software distributed fabric on board, facilitating campus management, maintenance and upgrades
Lower complexity
- Entire feature set including datacenter (DCBX, PFC, ETS, FIP Snooping) and advanced IPv6 L3 routing (OSPF, PBR, BGP) is available without license
- Innovative slot-1 supervisory and slot-2 backup supervisory design simplifies the entire chassis installation and ongoing maintenance tasks
Investment protection
- Multi-role versatile platform engineered for cost-effective Gigabit edge, flexible Gigabit / 10 Gigabit distribution and scalable 10 Gigabit core applications
- Any Gigabit copper blade can be upgraded with PoE+ 30W or UPOE 60W daughter card and downgraded later if the application has changed
Industry standard management
- Industry standard command line interface (CLI), functional NETGEAR web interface (GUI), SNMP, sFlow and RSPAN
- Single-pane-of-glass NMS300 management platform with centralized firmware updates and mass-configuration support
