What is the port configuration of the NVIDIA MSN4600-CS2FC switch?

The NVIDIA MSN4600-CS2FC is specified as a 64-port 100GbE Layer 3 managed Ethernet switch. It provides 64 ports operating at 100GbE, using QSFP28 interfaces. This configuration is suitable for environments that require many high bandwidth links from a single 2U platform in the datacenter.

Which port interface type does this switch use for 100GbE connectivity?

The switch uses QSFP28 interfaces for its 100GbE ports. QSFP28 is widely used for 100GbE connectivity and supports high bandwidth in a compact form factor. With 64 QSFP28 ports available, the platform can integrate into datacenter infrastructures that standardize on QSFP28-based cabling and optics.

What is the physical form factor of the MSN4600-CS2FC?

The MSN4600-CS2FC is a 2U switch, designed for installation in standard racks. This 2U height allows it to deliver a 64-port 100GbE configuration while fitting into typical datacenter layouts. The form factor is important for planning rack space, power distribution, and airflow around high port density switches.

Is the MSN4600-CS2FC suitable for datacenter deployments?

Yes, this model is categorized at the Datacenter product level and is a Layer 3 managed Ethernet switch with 64-port 100GbE in a 2U chassis. These characteristics align with datacenter requirements for high port density, routed capabilities, and standardized rack integration in core or aggregation roles.

What network layer capabilities does this switch provide?

The MSN4600-CS2FC is defined as a Layer 3 managed Ethernet switch. This means it is intended to provide Layer 3 routing functions in addition to Layer 2 switching. For buyers, this allows deployment in roles where routed segmentation and policy control are required alongside high-density 100GbE connectivity.
