About the NVIDIA Spectrum-X SN5600 Ethernet Switch MSN5600-CS2FO
The NVIDIA Spectrum-X SN5600 Ethernet Switch (MSN5600-CS2FO) is engineered with dual hot-swappable AC power supplies to ensure continuous uptime in mission-critical data center environments. This 2U rack-mount switch delivers industry-leading switching capacity and is built on the NVIDIA Spectrum-4 ASIC, designed to meet the demands of high-performance computing and AI-accelerated workloads where reliability and redundancy are non-negotiable.
Network engineers and IT infrastructure teams will appreciate the 64 x QSFP112 400GbE ports that provide flexible multi-speed support, from 400GbE down to 10GbE via breakout, enabling seamless integration across heterogeneous network architectures. With sub-microsecond port-to-port latency, deep packet buffer architecture, and intelligent congestion control through NVIDIA Adaptive Routing and per-packet load balancing, the MSN5600-CS2FO minimizes incast absorption challenges. The switch runs NVIDIA Onyx NOS and supports enterprise-grade protocols including BGP, OSPF, EVPN, VXLAN, and RDMA/RoCEv2, while management interfaces span OpenConfig, gNMI, SNMP, and REST API for seamless automation and UFM integration.
