Netgear M7100-24X (XSM7224) - ProSAFE 24 Ports 10G Fully Managed L2 Switch Data Sheet

Page of 27
Highlights
Layer 2+ with static routing
• The 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 the 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 a 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
• 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
• Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG)
allows for active-active redundant server
connections across two switches, using LACP
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

Page 1 of 27
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. 
The 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.
