What ports does the IBM EN4093R switch provide?

It offers 14 external SFP+ ports and 2 QSFP+ ports (configurable as 8 SFP+), plus 42 internal 10Gb Ethernet ports. QSFP+ supports 40Gb SR/LR/AOC/DAC, while SFP+ handles 10Gb/1Gb transceivers for flexible media types in Flex System chassis.

How does port scaling work on this switch?

Base configuration enables 14 ports; optional FoD licenses activate dual (28 ports) or triple (42 ports) compute node capability. This pay-as-you-grow model supports up to 64x 10Gb connections across chassis for virtualization scalability.

What management options are available?

Supports SSHv2/Telnet CLI, serial RS-232 Mini-USB terminal, and HTTPS/HTTP web interface. Features include POST verification, status LEDs, IPv4/IPv6 routing, OSPF, VRRP, and stacking for comprehensive remote/local administration.

Is it compatible with IBM Flex System chassis?

Designed as a hot-swappable I/O module for Flex System Enterprise Chassis. Requires Flex System network adapters in x86 Intel/AMD compute nodes; powers via chassis distribution, weighing 4.5 kg with 50x12 cm dimensions.

What advanced features does it support?

Includes Layer 2/3 switching, VLANs (4095), LAGs (64), QoS, OpenFlow, VMready, UFP, EVB, SPAR, and FCoE transit. Cut-through method ensures low latency for high-performance virtualized and cloud environments up to 1.28 Tbps.

What compliance standards does it meet?

RoHS and WEEE certified for environmental compliance. Eco-friendly design aligns with enterprise sustainability policies, with no additional power supply needed as it draws from chassis main distribution.
