The NETGEAR 10 Gigabit M7100 series consists of a fully managed, low-latency, line-rate 10G Copper " Base-T" switch solution; 24 ports 10 G Base-T (RJ45) that support Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet & 10 Gigabit speeds for server, storage & network progressive upgrade; 4 ports SFP+ that broaden 10 Gigabit connectivity for 1G/10G fiber uplinks & other DAC connections. M7100 series is ideal for all organizations considering reliable, affordable & simple 10 Gigabit Ethernet Top-of-Rack server access layer; & high-density, high-performance 10 Gb E 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 (IPv 4) 10 Gigabit transition with Base-T
- 10 G Base-T, like other Base-T technologies, uses the standard RJ45 Ethernet jack
- It is backward compatible, auto-negotiating between higher & lower speeds
- thereby not forcing an all at once network equipment upgrade
- Cat 5/ Cat 5E are supported for Gigabit speeds; when Cat 6 twisted pair copper cabling is minimum requirement for 10 Gigabit up to 30 meters
- Cat 6A or newer Cat 7 cabling allow for up to 100 meter 10 G Base-T connections Top-of-the-line performance & IPv 6 ready
- 32K MAC addresses; 480 Gbps switching fabric; 12K jumbo frames; Auto-i SCSI Flow Acceleration; Auto-EEE Energy Efficient Ethernet
- IPv 4/IPv 6 comprehensive traffic filtering (ACLs), & prioritization (Qo S
- Diff Serv) 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)
