What port configuration does the Dell VVMV5 S4810P provide?

The Dell Force10 S4810P VVMV5 features 48x 10G SFP+ ports for server connectivity and 4x 40G QSFP ports for uplinks, totaling 52 expansion slots in a compact 1RU rack-mountable chassis. This high-density setup supports 10GBase-X and 40GBase-X Ethernet technologies for data center ToR applications.

What is the switching performance of the S4810P VVMV5?

It delivers 1.28Tbps full-duplex switching capacity with 960Mpps forwarding rate and sub-3.3µs latency in cut-through mode. The 9MB packet buffer and support for jumbo frames ensure non-blocking line-rate performance across all ports under full load.

Does the VVMV5 support Data Center Bridging (DCB)?

Yes, the S4810P supports DCB features including Priority Flow Control (802.1Qbb), ETS (802.1Qaz), and DCBx for converged lossless networking. This makes it ideal for iSCSI and FCoE deployments with reliable low-latency storage traffic.

What Layer 3 capabilities are available on this switch?

Layer 3 features include scalable IPv4/IPv6 routing with OSPF and BGP, VRF-lite for up to 64 instances, 16K IPv4 routes, and 8K IPv6 routes. It also supports 4K VLANs, 128 LAG groups, and MSTP with 64 instances for advanced segmentation.

Is the Dell VVMV5 suitable for virtualized data centers?

Yes, with VLT for L2 extension across DCs, jumbo frames for IP storage, and QoS shaping for fine-grained flow analysis. It integrates with Dell 12G servers and MXL blade switches, enhancing VM mobility and high-performance virtualization.

What are the environmental specifications for the S4810P?

Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), humidity 5-90% non-condensing, and altitude up to 6600ft. Typical power consumption is 360W with max 420W, supporting flexible airflow directions for rack deployments.
