Mellanox SN2700 provides the most predictable, highest density 100GbE switching platform for the growing demands of today’s data centers. The SN2700 switch is an ONIE (Open Network Install Environment) based platform that supports a multitude of operating systems, as well as utilizing the advantages of Open Ethernet and the capabilities of the Mellanox Spectrum ASIC.

The SN2700 has three modes of operation:
– Preinstalled with Mellanox Onyx (successor to MLNX-OS Ethernet), a home-grown operating system utilizing common networking user experiences and industry standard CLI.
– Preinstalled with Cumulus Linux, a revolutionary operating system taking the Linux user experience from servers to switches and providing a rich routing functionality for large scale applications.
– Provided with a bare ONIE image ready to be installed with the aforementioned or other ONIE-based operating systems.

The SN2700 switch is an ideal spine and top-of-rack (ToR) solution, allowing maximum flexibility, with port speeds spanning from 10Gb/s to 100Gb/s per port and port density that enables full rack connectivity to any server at any speed. The uplink ports allow a variety of blocking ratios that suit any application requirement. Powered by the Spectrum ASIC and packed with 32 ports running at 100GbE, the SN2700 carries a whopping throughput of 6.4Tb/s with a landmark 4.76Bpps processing capacity in a compact 1RU form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary switching capacity and port density of the MSN2700-CS2F? +
The Mellanox MSN2700-CS2F is a high-performance 1U rackmount switch featuring 32 high-speed QSFP28 ports. It is engineered to support 100GbE throughput, making it an ideal choice for data centers that require high-density, low-latency interconnects for compute clusters and storage area networks requiring massive bandwidth.
How does the P2C airflow design on the MSN2700-CS2F impact data center deployment? +
The Port-to-Connector (P2C) airflow configuration is designed for modern hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center layouts. By exhausting air toward the power supply side, this switch ensures optimal thermal management when mounted in standard server racks, effectively maintaining the reliability and longevity of the hardware under sustained high-performance loads.
Does the MSN2700-CS2F support open networking standards for software flexibility? +
Yes, this switch is part of the Open Ethernet portfolio from Mellanox. It ships with the Mellanox Onyx operating system, which provides robust management, visibility, and control over network traffic. Its open nature allows IT teams to implement customized automation and provisioning workflows tailored to their specific data center infrastructure needs.
What kind of processing power does the MSN2700-CS2F offer for management tasks? +
This unit is equipped with a dedicated x86 CPU, which significantly enhances the management plane's capabilities compared to switches relying solely on integrated network processors. This architecture allows for faster response times for local management, improved handling of complex network protocols, and smoother execution of onboard monitoring and diagnostic tools.
Can I use the MSN2700-CS2F in a redundant power configuration? +
Absolutely. The MSN2700-CS2F comes pre-configured with two AC power supplies. This dual power configuration is critical for enterprise environments, providing power supply redundancy that ensures continuous operation even in the event of a single power supply failure, maintaining uptime for mission-critical applications.
