What port configuration does the HPE P11680-001 SN2100M provide?

The HPE StoreFabric SN2100M offers 16 QSFP28 ports supporting 100GBASE-X Ethernet. Each port supports breakout to 4x25GbE or 4x10GbE, providing flexible connectivity for high-density server farms. This enables up to 64x25G or 256x10G effective density in a single 1U switch.

Is the SN2100M suitable for data center spine deployments?

Yes, the SN2100M excels as a data center spine switch with 16x100GbE ports delivering non-blocking throughput. Its low-latency design (<400ns) and support for EVPN/VXLAN make it ideal for Clos fabrics handling massive east-west traffic in hyperscale environments.

What airflow and form factor does P11680-001 use?

P11680-001 features power-to-connector airflow in a 1U half or full rack-mountable chassis. This front-to-back cooling optimizes thermal performance in standard 19-inch racks, with compact depth for high-density ToR or spine installations.

Does the switch support ONIE for custom NOS?

Yes, the SN2100M with ONIE (Open Network Install Environment) allows installation of third-party network operating systems like Cumulus Linux or SONiC. This provides operator choice and avoids vendor lock-in while maintaining full hardware feature parity.

What advanced protocols are supported for storage?

The switch supports RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCEv2) and NVMe over Fabrics, enabling lossless 100GbE transport for high-performance storage arrays. PFC and ECN ensure zero-loss performance critical for AI training and database workloads.

What is the switching capacity of the SN2100M?

The HPE StoreFabric SN2100M delivers 3.2Tbps full-duplex switching capacity across 16x100GbE ports. This non-blocking architecture supports wire-speed forwarding with L3 routing, ensuring no performance bottlenecks in high-radix data center fabrics.
