Product overview

The IBM Flex System Fabric EN4093R is a 10Gb scalable switch designed for enterprise datacenter environments requiring high-performance networking within blade chassis infrastructure. This Layer 2/3 switching solution supports up to 64 10Gb Ethernet connections with flexible port mapping capabilities, enabling organizations to scale from 14 internal ports and 10 external uplink ports in base configuration to 28 internal ports or trade 4x 10GbE ports for 1x 40GbE connectivity. The EN4093R integrates seamlessly into IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis, supporting up to 32 vNICs per compute node for large-scale virtualization deployments. Advanced features include VRRP router redundancy, OSPF/BGP routing protocols, IGMP snooping, and jumbo frame support up to 9,216 bytes. Management capabilities encompass HTTP GUI, SSH CLI, SNMP v1/v2/v3, and serial console access. Ideal for dynamic workload management, the switch delivers sub-microsecond latency and full line-rate performance across virtualized infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum port capacity of the EN4093R, and can it be upgraded?

The EN4093R supports up to 64 10Gb Ethernet equivalent connections. Base configuration includes 14 internal and 10 external 10Gb ports. Additional ports can be enabled via Feature on Demand licensing, allowing up to 28 additional internal ports or flexible trade-offs between 4x 10GbE and 1x 40GbE QSFP+ ports for infrastructure scaling.

Does the EN4093R support virtualization, and how many virtual NICs can it handle?

Yes. The EN4093R integrates with IBM Flex System architecture supporting up to 32 vNICs per compute node using CN4054 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapters. Four EN4093R switches in a single Flex System Enterprise Chassis enable large-scale virtualized environments with unified fabric connectivity for converged infrastructure.

What routing protocols and redundancy features are supported?

The EN4093R supports RIP v1/v2, OSPF v2/v3, and BGP-4 routing protocols with up to 2,048 routing table entries. VRRP provides router redundancy for failover scenarios. It also supports 896 ACLs for traffic filtering and 128 static routes, enabling resilient multi-tier network architectures.

What are the performance specifications and latency characteristics?

The EN4093R delivers 1.28 Tbps aggregate throughput with full line-rate performance and sub-microsecond latency. These specifications make it ideal for dynamic workload management, HPC applications, and latency-sensitive environments requiring rapid convergence and consistent performance.

How is the EN4093R managed, and what management protocols are available?

Management options include HTTP browser GUI, Telnet CLI, SSH, serial CLI, SNMP v1/v2/v3, sFTP, SLP, NTP, and PTP. These interfaces enable integration with enterprise monitoring and automation tools, supporting both secure remote management and local console access.

What is the physical form factor, and how does it integrate into existing infrastructure?

The EN4093R is a blade chassis switch module designed for installation within I/O module bays of the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis. Dimensions are 30mm height × 401mm width × 317mm depth, enabling consolidated infrastructure with reduced physical footprint and simplified cable management.

Does the EN4093R support jumbo frames and multicast traffic management?

Yes. The switch supports jumbo frames up to 9,216 bytes for large data transfers. IGMP snooping limits flooding of IP multicast traffic, while IGMP filtering controls multicast traffic for specific host groups, enabling efficient bandwidth utilization in multicast-heavy environments.
