Industry Trends

• The default design standard for E-Rate

WLAN deployments in the US is now

Wave 2 11ac – global trend worldwide

• WLAN access point deployment is top

reason for network upgrade for more

than five years now

• More connections per access point

combined with faster throughput will

push 1 Gigabit wired connections to

the limit

• Multi-Gigabit wireless – need for higher

throughput in core network

Enter “multi-gigabit” switching.

Enter the unrivalled ProSAFE M4200 Series.

What is NBASE-T Multi-Gigabit Ethernet

+ Addressing Gigabit bottleneck problem• >75% of WW installed base is CAT5e / CAT6 up to 100 meters (BSRIA NGEABT IEEE Jan 2015 data)

• 10GBASE-T cannot work over vast majority of installed base

• New CAT6a (or better) cable run can reach $300 per cable including labor

• 10GBASE-T can’t be the solution for Wave 2 access point deployments

+ Why would you deploy Wave 2 access points if you won’t be able to adequately support them with your current network?

+ Multi-Gigabit is a game changing innovation• Enables 2.5 and 5Gbps up to 100m on legacy CAT 5e and CAT6 cables

• Backward compatible with 1G – and even Fast Ethernet

• 1000BASE-T IEEE standard compliant

Eight full power PoE+ and multi-speed 1G, 2.5G ports

combined with two 10G uplinks for a fully non-blocking

deployment of eight Wave 2 11ac access points from any

vendor. Plenum rated, slim design and mounting accessories

allow for access point placement optimization and

cabling efficiency.

+ The M4200 is the world’s first 8x2.5G Multi-Gigabit switch* with full PoE+ provision on all ports and 2x10G line-rate aggregation to the wiring closet

+ NETGEAR Multigigabit Ethernet is compatible with most major wireless and switching vendors managed solutions

Target Applications

Building 1: High Availability (HA) Top-of-Rack

• For midsize server installations, two half-width M4300

10GbE models can be paired in a single rack space for

redundant top-of-rack

• Compared with single top-of-rack switch installation, such

two-unit horizontal stacking is cost-effective yet highly

efficient for HA

• Management unit hitless failover and nonstop forwarding

ensure no single point of failure for servers and storage

Building 2: Edge Ring Stack

• Common for intermediate distribution frames (IDF) in K-12

and other large campuses, stacking topologies greatly

simplify deployments at the edge

• While reducing the number of logical units to manage,

stacking also brings network resiliency with distributed

uplinks in aggregation to the core

• Management unit hitless failover and nonstop forwarding

ensures continuous uptime for clients across the stack

Building 3: Spine and Leaf Stack

• For typical collapsed core installations, with a variety of 1G

and 10G access ports in branch offices, server rooms or

campus high performance labs

• M4300 10G models can stack with M4300 1G models,

enabling innovative "spine and leaf" topologies

• Spine and leaf architectures deliver highest performance

with every leaf switch (1G) connecting to every spine switch

(10G) for a fully non-blocking deployment

• With management unit hitless failover and nonstop

forwarding, leaf switches keep forwarding L2 and L3 traffic in

and out, while backup spine unit guarantees connectivity to

the core

Continuous uptime for clients across the stack

K12 PoE deployment at the edge

What’s the most important distinction?

It’s non-stop switching,

non-stop routing

stacking technology.

Server installations

Again, same distinction:

Spine and Leaf Topologies

Reducing oversubscription or enabling line-rate aggregation to the spine
