Distributed Link Aggregation, also called Port

Channeling or Port Trunking, oers powerful network

redundancy and load balancing between I/O blades

• Servers and other network devices beneﬁt from greater bandwidth capacity with active-active teaming

(LACP—link aggregation control protocol)

• From a system perspective, a LAG (Link Aggregation Group) is treated as a physical port by M6100

Chassis switch for even more simplicity

Multi Chasssis Link Aggregation (MLAG) oers Link

Aggregation beneﬁts across two M6100 Chassis

switches (currently supported on Supervisory

blade only)

• Servers and other network partner devices are oblivious to the fact that they are pairing with two M6100

Chassis switches to form a LAG

• Instead, the two M6100 Chassis switches appear as a single device to the partner

• All links can carry data trac and in case of link or device failures, the trac can continue to ﬂow with

minimal disruption

Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree (MSTP) allow for rapid transitionning of the ports to the Forwarding state and the suppression of Topology

Change Notiﬁcation

NETGEAR PVSTP implementation (CLI only) follows

the same rules than other vendor’s Per VLAN STP for

strict interoperability

• Including industry-standard PVST+ interoperability

• PVSTP is similar to the MSTP protocol as deﬁned by IEEE 802.1s, the main dierence being PVSTP runs

one instance per VLAN

• In other words, each conﬁgured VLAN runs an independent instance of PVSTP

• Each PVRSTP instance elects a root bridge independent of the other

• Hence there are as many Root Bridges in the region as there are VLANs conﬁgured

• Per VLAN RSTP has in built support for FastUplink and FastBackbone

IP address conﬂict detection performed by embedded DHCP servers prevents accidental IP address duplicates from perturbing the overall network stability

IP Event Dampening reduces the eect of interface ﬂaps on routing protocols: the routing protocols temporarily disable their processing (on the unstable interface)

until the interface becomes stable, thereby greatly increasing the overall stability of the network

Ease of deployment

Automatic conﬁguration with DHCP and BootP Auto Install eases large deployments with a scalable conﬁguration ﬁles management capability, mapping IP addresses

and host names and providing individual conﬁguration ﬁles to multiple switches as soon as they are initialized on the network

Both the Chassis Switch Serial Number and primary MAC address are reported by a simple “show hardware” command in CLI - facilitating discovery and remote

conﬁguration operations

M6100 DHCP L2 Relay agents eliminate the need to

have a DHCP server on each physical network

or subnet

• DHCP Relay agents process DHCP messages and generate new DHCP messages

• Supports DHCP Relay Option 82 circuit-id and remote-id for VLANs

• DHCP Relay agents are typically IP routing-aware devices and can be referred to as Layer 3 relay

agent

Automatic Voice over IP prioritization with Auto-VoIP simpliﬁes most complex multi-vendor IP telephones deployments either based on protocols (SIP, H323 and

SCCP) or on OUI bytes (default database and user-based OUIs) in the phone source MAC address; providing the best class of service to VoIP streams (both data and

signaling) over other ordinary trac by classifying trac, and enabling correct egress queue conﬁguration

An associated Voice VLAN can be easily conﬁgured with Auto-VoIP for further trac isolation

When deployed IP phones are LLDP-MED compliant, the Voice VLAN will use LLDP-MED to pass on the VLAN ID, 802.1P priority and DSCP values to the IP phones,

accelerating convergent deployments

Versatile connectivity

Up to 6,000 Watts PoE budget depending on number

of power supplies and I/O blades combination

• M6100 conﬁgurators are available at www.netgear.com/m6100 under the Resources tab

XCM8948 (48 x 1G RJ45) and XCM8944 (40 x 1G RJ45; 2 x 10GBASE-T; 2 x SFP+) can be equipped with a PoE daughter card for PoE+ (30W) or UPOE (60W)

These I/O blades can be upgraded with PoE at any

point of time, and possibly downgraded if the

application has changed

• XCM89P daughter card supports PoE (802.3af) and PoE+ (802.3at)

• XCM89UP daughter card supports PoE (802.3af), PoE+ (802.3at) and UPOE

(Universal Power over Ethernet)

IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)

provides up to 30W power per port using 2 pairs

while oering backward compatilibity with 802.3af

• IEEE 802.3at Layer 2 LLDP method and 802.3at PoE+ 2-event classiﬁcation method fully supported for

compatibility with most PoE+ PD devices
