About the NVIDIA Spectrum SN1700
The NVIDIA Spectrum SN1700 delivers 3.2 Tbps aggregate switching capacity and forwarding rates up to 2.38 Bpps, enabling line-rate performance across all 32 QSFP28 ports at 100GbE per port. Built on the NVIDIA Spectrum-1 ASIC and housed in a compact 1U rack-mount form factor, the SN1700-4S is engineered for high-density, low-latency data centre networking. Sub-microsecond port-to-port latency combined with redundant hot-swap power supplies and hot-swappable fan modules ensures both performance and operational resilience. The switch supports both NVIDIA Onyx and Cumulus Linux network operating systems, giving organisations flexibility in OS selection and management workflows.
Enterprise network engineers and AI infrastructure teams select the NVIDIA Spectrum SN1700 when deploying scale-out architectures that demand predictable, ultra-low-latency switching at 100GbE speeds. Its comprehensive Layer 2 feature set—including VLAN, LACP, MLAG, RSTP/MSTP, and VXLAN bridging—integrates seamlessly into existing campus and data centre networks. Layer 3 capabilities such as IPv4/IPv6 static routing, OSPF, BGP, ECMP, and VXLAN routing support complex multi-tier topologies. RoCEv2 support enables lossless Ethernet for RDMA workloads, critical for high-performance computing and storage clusters. REST API, Ansible, Python, and telemetry streaming automation keep deployment and troubleshooting efficient in large-scale environments.
Typical power consumption of approximately 150W and flexible cooling options—port-side exhaust or intake airflow—allow the switch to fit diverse rack layouts and thermal environments operating between 0°C and 45°C. Management is straightforward via out-of-band RJ-45 Ethernet and RS-232 console connectivity.
