M6100 Chassis Series

Chassis Standards Redefined

The new ProSAFE M6100 Chassis series is set to revolutionize how SMBs deploy high performance, highly resilient, fully redundant and

future proof switched networks from the Core to the Edge - without hurting or exhausting IT budgets. The NETGEAR® LAN Access and

Aggregation 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.

NETGEAR M6100 Chassis Series will be

instrumental in helping organizations to

consolidate and rationalize their switched

infrastructure from the access layer to the

core of their network. As a truly flexible

platform, it delivers unrivalled capabilities

to meet the needs in either - without

exhausting IT budgets.

Its versatility makes it appealing as an “all-

in-one” story to challenge traditional chassis

vendors oering multiple, but confusing

options and complexity.

The real competitive advantage comes

from also being able to simultaneously add

more capacity and capability to midsize

networks that can easily and quickly adjust

to changing business needs.

Get started today with NETGEAR M6100 series

Oering the densest Gigabit and 10G port solution in a 4U footprint, the M6100 is a fully distributed
fabric, passive backplane solution with full management and power redundancy - as standard.
UPOE capability extends its potential and delivers true investment protection to leverage today and
tomorrow’s evolving powered devices.

• An ideal platform for virtualized, convergence and surveillance environment

–Designed for use at the center of a small to mid-sized organization, or as an aggregated or access solution in a larger campus or mid-sized enterprise branch

network, the application scenarios for the M6100 are both wide and diverse. For those who require a resilient Gigabit connectivity option to the desktop
or 10G for virtualized server and storage needs through to large IP camera surveillance environments, the M6100 provides the markets fastest backplane
speeds with hitless failover to deliver enterprise grade service levels excellence for SMBs.

• All the hallmarks of a chassis with associated benefits but at fixed stackable price points

–Integrated supervisor blades - NO need for separate or spare supervisor blades. Slot 1 is the primary supervisor with slot 2 the default back-up supervisor

–PoE/PoE+/UPOE flexibility - NO separate PoE blades required. Simply add PoE daughter cards to any Gigabit blade to introduce PoE as and when required

–480Gbps inter-module backplane performance – NO performance compromise. With up to 10 x performance of fixed stackable solutions with similar port

counts, value performance ratios are unrivalled

–Distributed fabric, passive backplane – NO single point of failure with management and power backup and distributed link aggregation across multiple chassis

arrangements

–L2/L3/L4 routing as standard – NO additional licensing costs or annual maintenance contracts to inflate prices and jeopardise sales

• Class leading support services as standard

–All M6100 Chassis series products come with Lifetime Warranty, Lifetime Next Business Day and Lifetime Technical online support included - at no

extra cost.

M6100 Series Features

The M6100 switch series consists of Gigabit access layer and 10 Gigabit distribution layer switches in the NETGEAR modular chassis switch product line. The
M6100 switch series oers high-quality, high-density chassis alternative to stackable switches in campus LAN and midsize organizations demanding networks.
With more than 1.4 Tbps switching and routing capacity, passive backplane, management and fabric nonstop forwarding redundancy, the M6100 series delivers
world-class resiliency and scalability. Ultimately, operating soware and system management features take the complexity out of delivering L2/L3/L4 rich services
for enterprise edge and SMB core deployments.

NETGEAR M6100 series key features:

• Procient access layer in campus LAN networks, and competent distribution or core layer for

midsize organizations networks

• Advanced Layer 2, Layer 3 and Layer 4 feature set - no license required - including PBR, BGP,
DCBX, PFC, ETS and FCoE FIP

• Innovative distributed fabric, with nonstop forwarding and hitless failover redundancy between
supervisory I/O modules

• Up to 144 (Gigabit) ports, or 72 (10 Gigabit) ports, or a combination of both in dense form
factor models

• PoE+ (30 watts per port) and UPOE (60 watts per port) modular, exible implementation

• Ultra-low latency and scalable table size with 32K MAC, 8K ARP/NDP, 4K VLANs, 12K routes

NETGEAR M6100 series PoE features:

• Any Gigabit copper blade can receive PoE+ or UPOE daughter cards for easy upgrade/
downgrade and best investment protection

• Up to 3,000W PoE budget is provided by internal power supplies when 6,000W are available
with additional 1U power shelf

• All set for rapid proliferation of PoE/PoE+ devices, such as IP telephony endpoints, 802.11n /

802.11ac access points and IP security cameras

• Future-proof 60W UPOE power delivered to next-gen VDI clients or physical security devices;
UPOE is backward compatible with PoE/PoE+

NETGEAR M6100 series soware features:

• Advanced classier-based, time-based hardware implementation for L2 (MAC), L3 (IP) and L4
