High Availability
A high-performance network connection, whether it connects PCs and IP telephones at the
access layer or interconnects servers in a cluster, is useful only if it is also highly available. To
achieve voice-class network availability, NETGEAR 8800 Series chassis switches combine highly
resilient software and redundant hardware with high-availability network protocols.

resilient software and redundant hardware with high-availability network protocols.
The hardware design of the NETGEAR 8800 Series switches includes redundant Supervisory
modules, power supplies, and other components. Redundant Supervisory modules provide
an automatic failover mechanism that allows the second Supervisory module to automatically
assume management responsibility for the entire chassis if the first Supervisory module fails.
The advanced chassis design features a passive backplane complemented by high availability
elements, such as isolated control and data planes and redundant controller boards for
power distribution.

The advanced chassis design features a passive backplane complemented by high availability
elements, such as isolated control and data planes and redundant controller boards for

The chassis accommodates up to six load-sharing power supplies, providing a variety of
redundant power configurations to support high-density implementations with and without PoE.
Three power supplies in a 2 + 1 redundancy configuration can power a fully loaded chassis
with gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Additional power supplies support PoE deployments.
A tray of nine fans (NETGEAR XCM8810 switch) or six fans (NETGEAR XCM8806 switch) provides
redundant cooling for the chassis. The fan tray itself is hot swappable, allowing the NETGEAR
8800 Series switches to continue operation while the fan tray is replaced.

The NETGEAR OS provides true preemptive multitasking and protected memory. Each of the
many protocols, such as OSPF or Spanning Tree, runs as a separate process, protected from
other processes. In addition, the NETGEAR OS software monitors independent operating
system processes in real time. If any process becomes unresponsive, or stops running, it is
automatically restarted. In addition to increasing system integrity, this operational design
inherently protects against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The modular design of the
NETGEAR OS software allows new functionality to be added to the switch easily, extending
switch functionality.

NETGEAR 8800 Series switches run a collection of high-availability protocols that allow the IP
network to provide the levels of resiliency and uptime that have traditionally been associated
with voice networks. The Spanning Tree (802.1D), Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST+), Rapid
Spanning Tree (802.1w), and Multiple Instances of Spanning Tree (802.1s) protocols support
Layer 2 resiliency. Cross-module link aggregation (802.3ad) enables trunking of up to eight
links on a single logical connection, for up to 80 Gbps of redundant bandwidth per logical
connection.

Software enhanced availability allows users to remain connected to the network even if part
of the network infrastructure is down. NETGEAR 8800 Series switches continually check for
problems in the uplink connections and use advanced Layer 3 protocols such as OSPF and
VRRP to dynamically route around the problem. Equal Cost Multipath enables uplinks to be
load balanced for performance and cost savings while also supporting redundant failover.
If an uplink fails, traffic is automatically routed to the remaining uplinks and connectivity
is maintained.

High-Performance Connectivity
Networking trends show an increasing number of devices at the edge of the network, including
IP telephones, wireless access points (APs), and other devices. These networking trends drive
the requirement for Gigabit Ethernet to the desktop and the use of 10-Gigabit Ethernet as
an interconnect technology. NETGEAR 8800 Series switches deliver high-performance, cost-
effective connectivity to address these trends.

The NETGEAR 8800 Series switches provide local switching on every I/O module, as well as
48 Gbps per slot bidirectional bandwidth, for high-density, cost-effective, line-rate connectivity.
Three different types of hot-swappable I/O modules are available. Gigabit modules feature
either 48 fixed copper ports or 24 pluggable SFP optical modules; 10-Gigabit modules feature
8 pluggable XFP optical modules. The NETGEAR 8800 Series switches support up to 400
Gigabit ports or up to 64 10 Gigabit ports in a single chassis. Redundant Supervisory modules
