The NETGEAR 10 Gigabit M7100 series consists of a fully managed, low-latency, line-rate 10G Copper "Base-T" switch solution; 24 ports 10GBase-T (RJ45) that support Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit speeds for server, storage and network progressive upgrade; 4 ports SFP+ that broaden 10 Gigabit connectivity for 1G/10G fiber uplinks and other DAC connections.
M7100 series is ideal for all organizations considering reliable, affordable and simple 10 Gigabit Ethernet Top-of-Rack server access layer; and high-density, high-performance 10GbE backbone architectures.
Layer 2+ with static routing
- M7100 series comes with Port-based / VLAN-based / Subnet-based "static routing" Layer 2+ versions
- L3 fixed routes to the next hop towards the destination network are added to the routing table
- L3 routing is wire-speed in M7100 series hardware with up to 128 static routes (IPv4)
10 Gigabit transition with Base-T
- 10GBase-T, like other Base-T technologies, uses the standard RJ45 Ethernet jack
- It is backward compatible, auto-negotiating between higher and lower speeds – thereby not forcing an all at once network equipment upgrade
- Cat5/Cat5E are supported for Gigabit speeds; when Cat6 twisted pair copper cabling is minimum requirement for 10 Gigabit up to 30 meters
- Cat6A or newer Cat7 cabling allow for up to 100 meter 10GBase-T connections
Top-of-the-line performance and IPv6 ready
- 32K MAC addresses; 480Gbps switching fabric; 12K jumbo frames; Auto-iSCSI Flow Acceleration; Auto-EEE Energy Efficient Ethernet
- IPv4/IPv6 comprehensive traffic filtering (ACLs), and prioritization (QoS - DiffServ)
Top-of-rack availability
Two redundant, hot-swap power supplies (one PSU comes with the switch; second optional PSU is ordered separately)
Two removable fan trays provide front-to-back cooling airflow for best compatibility with data center hot aisle / cold aisle airflow patterns
Industry standard management
- Industry standard command line interface (CLI)
- Fully functional NETGEAR web interface (GUI)
