What are the port configurations on the HPE SN2700M?

Features 16 x 100GbE QSFP28 primary ports and 16 x Fast Ethernet RJ-45 management ports. Supports breakout to 64x10/25/50GbE or 32x40/100GbE, enabling flexible scaling for storage fabrics while maintaining line-rate performance with zero packet loss.

What is the switching capacity and latency?

Provides 25.6 Tbps aggregate bandwidth with 100% wire-rate throughput across all frame sizes and <300ns cut-through latency. Supports concurrent 32x100GbE in L2/L3 modes, ideal for high-performance computing and NVMe-oF deployments.

Does it support redundancy features?

Includes 2 x 460W hot-swappable PSUs (920W max) and 4 x hot-swappable intake fan trays for 1+1 power and N+1 cooling redundancy. Additional ports via upgrade license enhance scalability in enterprise environments.

What management and security options are available?

Web-based management, SNMP, IPMI interfaces with security via access control, port security, RADIUS, and TACACS+. Supports Ethernet, ONYX, and ONIE software for flexible network orchestration.

What are the physical dimensions and weight?

1U rack-mountable chassis measures 43.8 x 43.6 x 4.39 cm (W x D x H) and weighs 8.52 kg. Fixed rack mount kit included, with serial cable and PSU retainers for easy installation.

Is it compliant for government use?

TAA-compliant (Trade Agreements Act), suitable for U.S. federal procurement. Meets enterprise standards for storage-optimized Ethernet switching in regulated environments.
