What is the port configuration and speed of HPE P11678-001?

The HPE SN2700M P11678-001 features 32 QSFP28 ports supporting 100GbE speeds. QSFP28 allows breakout to 4x25GbE or 2x50GbE per port, enabling flexible connectivity for servers, storage, and uplinks in datacenter environments.

What switching performance does the SN2700M provide?

It delivers ~6.4 Tbps full-duplex switching capacity and ~4.7 Bpps forwarding rate. This non-blocking architecture supports wire-speed performance across all ports, ideal for high-density east-west traffic in spine-leaf deployments.

Is the P11678-001 suitable for open networking?

Yes, it is ONIE-compatible, allowing installation of third-party NOS like Cumulus, SONiC, or others. This provides flexibility for multi-vendor environments and reduces vendor lock-in in modern datacenters.

What airflow design does this switch use?

Power-to-connector (PTC) airflow directs air from front-to-back across components, optimizing cooling in standard 1U racks. This design supports high port density without compromising thermal performance.

What Layer 3 features are supported?

Supports OSPFv2/v3, BGPv4/v6, VRF, policy-based routing, GRE tunneling, and RoCEv2. These enable advanced routing and storage acceleration in converged Ethernet fabrics.

What is the form factor and scalability?

1U rack-mountable with 128K MAC table. Scales in leaf-spine topologies for fabrics up to thousands of ports, suitable for hyperscale and enterprise datacenters.
