EN4093R 10 Gb Scalable Switch User’s Guide
The EN4093R provides flexible, reliable, and high-performance features that meet
the demands of today's highly virtualized environments.
The EN4093R provides pay-as-you-grow scalability. With optional licensing, you
can easily and cost-effectively expand the number of available ports.
Depending on the installed licenses, the scalable switch can provide up to sixty-four
10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports.
The base license provides support for twenty-four 10 GbE ports:
•
Single compute node port capability (fourteen internal 10 GbE ports)
•
Ten external 10 GbE Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) ports
Additional ports are available with optional licenses. There are two upgrades that
are available for the EN4093R (see
“Acquiring Feature Licenses” on page 45
).
Upgrade 1 supports up to twenty-two additional ports (up to forty-six total):
•
Dual compute node port capability (fourteen additional internal ports)
•
Two external 40 GbE Quad Small Form Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) ports, each of
which can be optionally used as four SFP+ ports
Upgrade 2 supports eighteen additional ports (up to sixty-four total)
•
Triple compute node port capability (fourteen additional internal ports)
•
Four additional external SFP+ ports
Note:
Upgrade 1 is a prerequisite to Upgrade 2.
SFP+ ports can be populated with 10 Gb optical or copper SFP+ transceiver
modules or Direct-Attach Cables (DACs), or legacy 1 Gb optical or copper SFP
transceiver modules.
QSFP+ ports can be populated with optical QSFP+ modules or DACs, including
some that accept SFP+ or SFP modules.
In addition to port flexibility, you can manage and configure the EN4093R through
the following interfaces:
•
A Secure Shell (SSH) version 2 or Telnet connection to the embedded
Command-Line Interface (CLI)
•
A terminal emulation program connection to the serial port interface
•
A network management application using Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP)
•
A Web browser-based interface (HTTPS/HTTP) connection to the switch
