Page 1 of 48
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
Lan Access and Aggregation Chassis Switch solutions combine
the latest advances in hardware and software engineering for
higher flexibility, lower complexity and stronger investment
protection, at a high-value price point.
