About the NVIDIA Spectrum SN4600
The NVIDIA Spectrum SN4600 (part number SN4600C-V2) delivers exceptional port density with 64 × QSFP-DD 400GbE ports, expandable to 256 × 100GbE via breakout configuration, making it ideal for hyperscale data center fabrics and high-performance computing environments. This 2U form factor switch combines an aggregate switching capacity of 51.2 Tbps with a forwarding rate of 38.4 Bpps, powered by the NVIDIA Spectrum-3 ASIC architecture. The system supports redundant hot-swappable power supplies and hot-swappable fan modules with selectable front-to-rear and rear-to-front airflow options, enabling flexible deployment across diverse thermal environments with operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C.
Network engineers and infrastructure architects choose the Spectrum SN4600 for its comprehensive routing and overlay capabilities, including BGP, OSPF, RIP, ECMP, and BGP Unnumbered protocols alongside EVPN and VXLAN overlay support. Hardware-based NVIDIA RoCE v1 and v2 with PFC and ETS acceleration make this switch particularly valuable for RDMA-intensive workloads, while Cumulus Linux as the native network operating system provides open, programmable infrastructure. Out-of-band management via RJ-45 and USB, combined with streaming telemetry and NetQ integration, streamline operational visibility. Automation frameworks including Ansible, Puppet, Chef, REST API, and ONIE ensure seamless integration into modern infrastructure-as-code workflows, while full IEEE 802 standards compliance (802.1Q, 802.1ax, 802.3ad, 802.1p, 802.3x) guarantees enterprise-grade reliability.
For procurement teams evaluating high-density, high-performance switching solutions, Omnixon Global stocks the SN4600C-V2 and provides comprehensive technical pre-sales support.
