NETGEAR for
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.
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)
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)
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
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
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
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 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
