About the NVIDIA Spectrum SN3600 - 100GbE (SN3600-1S)
L2/L3 switching with BGP/OSPF routing, VXLAN/EVPN fabric overlay support — these capabilities determine where the SN3600-1S sits in your data center architecture. The NVIDIA Spectrum SN3600 (part number SN3600-1S) is a high-density, high-performance 100GbE switch built on the NVIDIA Spectrum-1 ASIC. With 64 QSFP28 ports delivering 100GbE per port, this 1U rack-mount platform achieves a non-blocking, cut-through switching architecture with 6.4 Tbps aggregate throughput and 4.76 Bpps forwarding rate. Network engineers and data center architects can deploy this switch to collapse spine-leaf topologies, high-performance storage networks, or AI training cluster fabrics that demand ultra-low latency and wire-speed forwarding.
NVIDIA's Spectrum SN3600-1S integrates comprehensive Layer 2 features—VLAN, RSTP, MSTP, LACP, and MLAG—alongside advanced Layer 3 capabilities including BGP, OSPF, ECMP, VRF, VXLAN, and BGP-EVPN for modern fabric designs. RoCE v1 and RoCE v2 support enables RDMA workloads, while Priority Flow Control (PFC) and Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) manage congestion intelligently. The switch runs NVIDIA Onyx operating system and exposes OpenConfig, gNMI, REST API, Ansible, and Puppet automation hooks for seamless integration into orchestrated environments. Hardware-based streaming telemetry with per-port and per-flow counters provides real-time visibility. Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fan modules—with flexible airflow orientation—ensure operational reliability in 0°C to 45°C environments. Out-of-band 1GbE management and RJ-45 console access simplify deployment and troubleshooting.
