Frequently asked questions

What are the port specifications and connectivity options on the SN2100M?

The SN2100M features 16 QSFP28 ports, each supporting 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GBase-X). All ports are identical, providing 1.6Tbps total fabric bandwidth. QSFP28 connectors support direct-attach copper (DAC) cables and optical transceivers, enabling flexible deployment in data center environments.

What is the switching capacity and forwarding performance?

The SN2100M delivers 3.2Tbps full-duplex switching capacity with non-blocking fabric architecture. This enables wire-speed forwarding across all 16 ports simultaneously, supporting latency-sensitive workloads in storage and HPC environments. Cut-through forwarding minimizes packet latency for real-time applications.

How does the power-to-connector airflow design benefit data center deployments?

The power-to-connector airflow configuration optimizes thermal management in dense rack environments by directing airflow from power supply to front panel connectors. This design reduces hot spots, improves cooling efficiency, and enables higher port density in standard 1U form factors compared to traditional designs.

Is the SN2100M suitable for government and regulated procurement?

Yes, the SN2100M is TAA-compliant (Trade Agreements Act), meeting U.S. government procurement requirements. This certification ensures the product qualifies for federal, state, and local government contracts, as well as organizations with TAA compliance mandates.

What operating systems and management platforms does the SN2100M support?

The SN2100M supports ONIE (Open Network Install Environment), enabling deployment of multiple network operating systems including HPE Comware, Linux-based distributions, and third-party NOS platforms. This flexibility allows organizations to standardize on preferred management and automation tools.

How does the SN2100M integrate into existing HPE StoreFabric infrastructure?

The SN2100M is part of HPE's StoreFabric switch family, designed for seamless integration with other SN-series switches in spine-leaf or full-mesh fabric topologies. It supports standard Ethernet protocols, LLDP, and management interfaces compatible with HPE OneView and third-party data center management platforms.
