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
