About the Synology Network Switch SX6100
L2/L3 switching architecture with static routing and ECMP support determines the SX6100's role as a high-capacity data center fabric switch. The Synology Network Switch SX6100 is a 1U rackmount switch engineered for enterprises requiring massive throughput and deterministic, non-blocking performance in storage-centric and hyperscale environments. With 24 ports of 100GbE QSFP28 connectivity (40GbE compatible), the SX6100 delivers 4.8 Tbps switching capacity and 1.79 Bpps forwarding rate, enabling seamless integration into demanding network infrastructures. Built by Synology, this switch combines enterprise-grade redundancy—hot-swappable dual power supplies and fan modules—with comprehensive layer 2 and layer 3 switching protocols including IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support, IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation (LACP), and spanning tree variants (STP, RSTP, MSTP).
Network architects and storage engineers will appreciate the SX6100's (part number SX6100) native compatibility with Synology NAS, SAN, and unified storage platforms, coupled with dedicated management via Synology SRM-based GUI and CLI interfaces. The non-blocking architecture ensures zero packet loss under full load, while static routing and ECMP capabilities provide flexible east-west and north-south traffic distribution. Operating reliably between 0°C and 40°C, the switch is built to sustain continuous high-performance workloads in climate-controlled data center environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about Synology Network Switch SX6100
Does the Synology Network Switch SX6100 support our SFP transceivers?
Most enterprise switches ship without transceivers; we quote vendor-matched optics alongside the switch (Cisco-genuine for Catalyst/Nexus, HPE/Aruba-genuine for CX, Juniper-genuine for QFX/EX). Third-party MSA-compatible options are also available at lower cost — specify preference in the RFQ.
Do you provide stacking / VPC / MLAG configuration help?
Yes — our network engineers can pre-stage stacking, VPC pairs, MLAG, EVPN-VXLAN, or fabric extender configurations in advance, or provide remote commissioning. Add commissioning to your RFQ.
What software licensing is included?
Switch software licensing varies by vendor. Cisco DNA / Cisco DCNM, Aruba CX licensing tiers, Juniper Premium, NVIDIA Cumulus — we quote the licensing tier matched to your features (BGP-EVPN, telemetry, automation). No surprises later.
Is the support global?
Yes — manufacturer hardware support is global (return-to-vendor or advance replacement depending on tier). For 24x7 same-day on-site replacement, attach a SmartNet / Foundation Care / J-Care contract during quoting.
