Introduction
The SSE-X3648S and SSE-X3648SR switches are the latest generation of 10Gb
Ethernet routing switches from Supermicro. They are based on 10Gb switching
technology and are designed for aggregating connectivity to 40Gb servers in data
centers – or for 40Gb access to backbone networks. Preloaded with Open Networking
Installation Environment (ONIE), they are particularly suitable for use in an Open
Networking environment.
The SSE-X3648S and SSE-X3648SR switches with advanced intelligent and secure
features, can serve ideally as a distribution layer switch for campus networks, enterprise
networks and HP networks; as well as a core layer switch for small to medium-sized
networks.
1-1 Features and Benefits
• Various Interfaces – The SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR switches provide 48 10Gb
SFP+ and 6 40Gb QSFP+ ports. Each QSFP+ port can be split into 4 10Gb SFP+
ports.
• Support 10Gb Ethernet – 10Gb Ethernet adopts full-duplex technology instead of
the half-duplex CSMA/CD protocol. 10Gb Ethernet can be deployed in star or ring
topologies. With 10Gb Ethernet, the SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR switches provide
broad bandwidth and powerful processing capacity. Using the SSE-X3648S/
SSE-X3648SR switches, users can simplify network structures and reduce the
overall cost of building a network.
