The NETGEAR Chassis M6100 series delivers comprehensive IPv4/IPv6 services for edge and core use in enterprises as well as for mixed 1G/10G infrastructure in server rooms. Distributed fabric provides non-stop transmission with high resiliency and best-in-class availability - including passive backplane, failover, redundant fabric and redundant management - without the exorbitant acquisition and maintenance costs associated with other network providers in this class.

• First-class availability
• Reliable nonstop switching, nonstop routing and failover for both fabric and management. N+1 redundancy for power supplies and loop-free, interference-free multi-chassis link aggregation (mLAG).
• High-speed performance
• 1.4 Tbit/s total routing/switching capacity and up to 1.071 Mbit/s intra-blade throughput. 480 Gbps Distributed Fabric Inter Module; each slot provides 2 x 40G access to the passive backplane.
• Extra-high port density in a compact chassis
• Supports 144 RJ-45 10/100/1000 ports or 120 SFP 100/1000 ports or 72 RJ-45 10GBASE-T ports or 48 SFP+ 1000/10GBASE-X ports or a combination.
• High flexibility
• Distributed fabric that does not require a dedicated monitoring module due to the use of passive backplane and full redundancy in both management and power supplies. Each I/O blade eliminates the need for hardware and software distributed fabric on board and thus the need to specify supervisors. Because each blade can automatically take on functions. This makes campus management, maintenance and upgrades easier.
• Less complexity
• The entire feature set including data center (DCBX, PFC, ETS, FIP Snooping) and extended IPv6-L3 routing (OSPF, PBR, BGP) is available. The Slot 1 Supervisor and Slot 2 Backup Supervisor design simplifies overall chassis installation and ongoing maintenance tasks.
• Investment protection
• Convertible versatile platform as e.g. B. cost-effective gigabit edge switch, 1 gigabit/10 gigabit distribution switch and scalable 10 gigabit core switch. Each gigabit copper blade can be upgraded with a PoE+ 30W or 60W UPOE daughter card as needed and downgraded as the application requires.
