ADVANCED FEATURES:

High-Performance, Low-Latency Switching Fabric:

The SN2410 is built with a non-blocking switching architecture delivering 4 Tbps throughput and a forwarding rate of 2.97 Bpps, ensuring simultaneous wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic across all 24 × 25GbE and 4 × 100GbE ports. Its ultra-low latency (<2 µs) is ideal for high-performance computing (HPC), AI/ML workloads, virtualization, cloud services, and storage replication. The switch supports a large MAC address table and deep packet buffers, enabling seamless handling of broadcast storms, traffic bursts, and latency-sensitive applications. Advanced buffer management ensures minimal packet loss under peak loads, providing consistent, predictable performance for mission-critical enterprise applications. Its architecture also supports large-scale leaf-spine and campus fabric deployments, making it suitable for both enterprise and hyperscale data centre networks. Administrators can rely on predictable throughput and low jitter for sensitive workloads, including real-time analytics and financial trading applications.

Advanced Layer 3 Routing & Network Segmentation:

The SN2410 offers comprehensive Layer 3 routing capabilities including BGP, OSPF, VRF-Lite, and static routing. This allows flexible network segmentation and secure inter-VLAN routing for multi-tenant, enterprise, or cloud environments. Supporting up to 4,096 VLANs, it enables large-scale deployments without performance degradation. Dynamic route convergence, policy-based routing, and full IPv4/IPv6 support ensure predictable latency, high availability, and optimal traffic distribution across complex network topologies. It also simplifies network design for multi-service deployments, allowing IT teams to isolate traffic for compliance or regulatory needs. Additionally, its efficient route computation and forwarding reduce convergence times during network changes, improving overall network resilience.

Stacking and Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG):

MLAG technology allows active-active redundancy across multiple chassis, ensuring automatic failover and load balancing. Stacking capabilities with high-bandwidth interconnects enable multiple switches to function as a single logical unit, simplifying network management and reducing operational complexity. Aggregate bandwidth across stacked switches ensures high-performance traffic forwarding, while redundant interconnect links provide continuous network stability during maintenance or upgrades. This capability also allows IT teams to scale horizontally without disrupting services, ideal for growing enterprises or cloud providers. Stacking and MLAG ensure predictable load distribution for bandwidth-intensive applications like database replication and distributed storage systems.

Open Networking Flexibility (ONIE-Compatible):

The SN2410 supports NVIDIA Onyx, SONiC, and Cumulus Linux, enabling deployment of open networking and software-defined network (SDN) architectures. ONIE compatibility allows network operators to choose their preferred network operating system (NOS), providing vendor-agnostic flexibility, future-proofing, and integration with orchestration and telemetry tools. This flexibility allows organisations to adopt custom automation, advanced monitoring, and analytics for cloud, AI, or data centre networks, avoiding vendor lock-in while maximising operational efficiency. It also simplifies integration with third-party management platforms and cloud orchestration tools, allowing centralised control over large multi-vendor networks. Operators can test new NOS capabilities without impacting production, supporting innovation and network evolution.

Energy Efficiency & Fresh-Air Compliance:

The switch incorporates IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), reducing idle power consumption and overall operational costs. Its fresh-air compliant design allows deployment in office wiring closets, distributed campuses, or standard data centres without specialized HVAC systems. Variable-speed fans automatically adjust to traffic and temperature conditions, ensuring energy-efficient cooling while maintaining silent operation and peak performance. This energy-efficient approach also reduces operational carbon footprint, helping organisations meet sustainability targets. In addition, the design supports high-density racks without thermal issues, making it suitable for distributed and branch office deployments.

Redundant, Serviceable Hardware:

Dual hot-swappable AC/DC power supplies and N+1 redundant variable-speed fans provide continuous operation, with components that can be serviced or replaced without network downtime.

These features protect against unauthorized access, spoofing, man-in-the-middle attacks, and other common network threats. Security policies can be centrally managed and monitored, providing real-time threat detection and logging for regulatory compliance. Its security framework also supports integration with enterprise SIEM and monitoring platforms, enabling proactive threat response. The advanced controls help maintain data integrity and prevent network abuse, even in multi-tenant or public cloud environments.

Advanced QoS & Traffic Management:

Eight hardware queues per port, Weighted Round-Robin (WRR), and strict priority queuing ensure latency-sensitive traffic like voice, video, and mission-critical applications is delivered without delay. Traffic shaping, rate limiting, and deep packet inspection maintain predictable network performance under congestion. QoS policies can be customised per port or per VLAN, enabling granular control and prioritisation across enterprise or multi-service networks. This ensures seamless delivery of unified communications, video conferencing, and real-time analytics. Network operators can define policy-driven traffic flows, optimising performance for multi-tenant or multi-service environments.

Automation, Monitoring & Analytics:

The SN2410 supports REST APIs, Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP), Ansible, sFlow, RMON, and streaming telemetry for automated provisioning, monitoring, and analytics. Administrators can proactively detect congestion, troubleshoot issues, generate performance reports, and plan capacity efficiently. Integration with orchestration platforms simplifies deployment and operational management, reducing configuration errors and improving overall network reliability. Detailed telemetry and monitoring allow IT teams to forecast trends, identify bottlenecks, and perform predictive maintenance. This capability supports large-scale cloud and enterprise networks by ensuring performance and uptime for critical services.

Scalability & Future-Proof Architecture:

The SN2410 is designed for enterprise, HPC, AI, and cloud environments, supporting MLAG, large VLANs, open NOS, and advanced telemetry. Network expansion can be performed without redesign, ensuring long-term performance and seamless integration with evolving workloads. Its future-proof architecture allows adoption of emerging network technologies, supporting hybrid cloud, AI/ML, and multi-tenant infrastructures. This makes it ideal for organisations planning rapid growth or expansion into next-generation network technologies. IT teams can confidently deploy the SN2410 knowing it will support evolving enterprise and cloud requirements.
