What port configuration does the HPE R0P80A SN2700M provide?

32 QSFP28 ports support 100GbE natively or breakout to 4x 10/25GbE per port, scaling to 128x 25GbE. Management ports include dedicated 1GbE out-of-band interface. This high-density configuration delivers 6.4 Tbps switching for spine/leaf data center topologies.

What is the switching performance of the R0P80A?

6.4 Tbps full-duplex switching capacity with 9.52 Bpps forwarding rate ensures wire-speed performance across all ports. Low-latency cut-through switching and RoCEv2 support optimize storage and HPC workloads requiring sub-microsecond latencies.

Does the SN2700M support open networking?

Yes, ONIE bootloader enables installation of third-party NOS including Cumulus Linux, SONiC, and others. This provides network operators flexibility to choose software stacks while leveraging HPE hardware reliability and 100GbE performance.

What Layer 3 features are available?

Full L3 routing suite includes OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, static routes, VRRP, and VXLAN for overlay networks. EVPN supports modern data center fabrics with multi-tenancy and mobility across 100GbE infrastructure.

What airflow direction does it use?

Power-to-connector airflow pulls cool air through power supplies first, then across ASICs and optics. This design matches adjacent equipment airflow in standard data center racks, improving thermal efficiency and reducing hot spots.

Is the R0P80A suitable for storage networks?

Optimized for NVMe-oF fabrics with RoCEv2 congestion control and PFC. 100GbE speeds eliminate storage bottlenecks in AI training and analytics workloads connecting thousands of NVMe drives across the cluster.
