The 10 Gigabit M7100 series consists of a fully managed, low-latency, line-rate 10G Copper "Base-T" switch solution—with 24 ports 10GBase-T (RJ45) that support Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit speeds for Server, storage and network progressive upgrade. It includes 4 ports SFP+ that broaden 10 Gigabit connectivity for 1G/10G fiber uplinks and other DAC connections.

Key Features

• 24 ports copper 10GBase-T / 4 ports SFP+

• Fiber SFP+ (1000/10G) :4 x SFP+ (shared)

• Fiber SFP+ (1000/10G) :4 x SFP+ (shared)

• Dual redundant PSUs / Fan trays

• Form Factor: Rack 1U - Standalone

Performance

• Layer 3 hardware with L2+ software affordability

• Built upon L3 hardware platform while Layer 2+ software package allows for better budget optimization

• Uses latest generation silicon low-power 40-nanometer technology

• L2 and L3 switching features (access control list, classification, filtering, IPv4 routing) are performed in hardware at interface line rate for voice, video, and data convergence

• Layer 2+ software package provides straight forward IP static routing capabilities for physical interfaces, VLANs and subnets

• 16K MAC address table, 1K concurrent VLANs and 64 static routes for SMB and small enterprise access layers

• Increased packet buffering with up to 12 Mb dynamically shared accross all interfaces for most intensive applications

• Low latency at all network speeds

• Jumbo frames support of up to 9Kb accelerating storage performance for backup and cloud applications

• Broad portfolio of access layer solutions, ranging from 8 ports Fast Ethernet to 50 ports Gigabit Ethernet

Ease of Use

• Fully functional Web console (GUI) for IT admins who prefer an easy to use graphical interface

• Placement outside the wiring closet (conference rooms, offices, class rooms, sales floor in retail stores, etc

• For secure deployment in open areas , desktop versions come with a Wall Mount Kit with four bracket

• Select desktop versions also come with a set of strong magnets for mounting on any metal surface

• Automatic configuration with DHCP and BootP Auto Install

• Both the Switch Serial Number and Switch primary MAC address are reported by a simple "show" command in the CLI

• Automatic Voice over IP prioritization with Auto-VoIP

• An associated Voice VLAN can be easily configured with Auto-VoIP for further traffic 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

• DHCP/BootP innovative auto-installation including firmware and configuration file upload automation

• Dual firmware image and configuration file for updates with minimum service interruption

  Security

• Traffic control MAC Filter and Port Security

• DHCP Snooping monitors DHCP traffic between DHCP clients and DHCP servers to filter harmful DHCP message and prevent DHCP spoofing attacks

• IP source guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection for malicious users traffic elimination

• Layer 2 / Layer 3-v4 / Layer 3-v6 / Layer 4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be binded to ports, Layer 2 interfaces, VLANs and LAGs (Link Aggregation Groups or Port channel) for fast unauthorized data prevention and right granularity

• Bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) Guard allows the network administrator to enforce the Spanning Tree (STP) domain borders and keep the active topology consistent and predictable - unauthorized devices or switches behind the edge ports that have BPDU enabled will not be able to influence the overall STP topology by creating loops

• Spanning Tree Root Guard (STRG) enforces the Layer 2 network topology by preventing rogue root bridges potential issues when for instance, unauthorized or unexpected new equipment in the network may accidentally become a root bridge for a given VLAN

• Dynamic 802.1x VLAN assignment mode, including Dynamic VLAN creation mode and Guest VLAN / Unauthenticated VLAN are supported for rigorous user and equipment RADIUS policy Server enforcement

• 802.1x MAC Address Authentication Bypass (MAB)

• Double VLANs (DVLAN - QoQ) pass traffic from one customer domain to another through the "metro core" in a multi-tenancy environment

• Private VLANs (with Primary VLAN, Isolated VLAN, Community VLAN, Promiscuous port, Host port, Trunks) provide Layer 2 isolation between ports that share the same broadcast domain

• Secure Shell (SSH) and SNMPv3 (with or without MD5 or SHA authentication) ensure SNMP and Telnet sessions are secured

• TACACS+ and RADIUS enhanced administrator management provides strict "Login" and "Enable" authentication enforcement for the switch configuration and authentication based on user domain in addition to user ID and password
