Use of SFP to Router
What is the technical way to use two SFP ports on this switch to connect to a Nighthawk x6 router.
I have 2 Gbics, with 2 Cat7 RJ-45 cables. Is there other/additional hardware needed?

X6 does translate to Netgear Nighthawk R8000 - this router model does not support the configuration of a port aggregation (LAG, trunk, ...) so taking an advantage of two links might becme difficult. JohnC_V

As per the year 2015 M4100 Datasheet the AGM734 isn't listed. Beyond, the AGM734 seems to be supported - as per AGM734 SFP Transceiver 1000BASE-T SFP COPPER RJ45 GBIC is suppoted just on two Netgear switch models. LaurentMa can you shed some light here please?
