M6100 CHASSIS SWITCH SERIES
Designed for use at the center of a small to mid-sized organization, or as an access solution in a larger campus
network, the M6100 switch series is a high-quality, high-density chassis alternative to stackable switches. Offering
the densest Gigabit and 10-Gigabit port count in a 4U footprint, the M6100 is a fully distributed fabric, passive
backplane solution with management and power redundancy–as standard.
M6100 series key features:
• Procient 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
• 1.4 Tbps switching and routing capacity, passive
backplane, management and fabric nonstop
forwarding redundancy
• 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
M6100 series warranty and support:
• NETGEAR ProSAFE Lifetime Hardware Warranty
• Included Lifetime Online Technical Support
• Included Lifetime Next Business Day Hardware Replacement
