HPE P11680-001
StoreFabric SN2100M 100 GbE Managed switch– 16 × QSFP28 Ports
The HPE P11680‑001 is the factory part number for the StoreFabric SN2100M switch—designed as a half‑width 1U, rack-mountable device featuring 16 QSFP28 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Engineered for data center spine/leaf, server/storage interconnects, and hyperconverged infrastructures, it delivers wire‑speed switching across 1/10/25/40/50/100 GbE port speeds. With compact side‑by‑side deployment in 1U racks, the SN2100M scales port density without expanding rack space. Its power-to-connector (P2C) airflow design enables efficient thermal performance, high reliability, and manageable noise levels. Commonly deployed in redundant configurations, the SN2100M supports rich Layer 3 features and automation-ready management.
Features
The SN2100M P11680‑001 model offers 16 fixed QSFP28 ports, each capable of 100 GbE or breakout to lower-speed configurations (e.g., 4×25 Gb or 4×10 Gb modules with appropriate optics or DAC cables) . It features a non-blocking switching fabric of 3.2 Tbps per unit and supports near 4.8 Bpps when two units are mounted side‑by‑side, enabling ultra-low forwarding latency (~300 ns) for east-west traffic in high-performance environments Management includes comprehensive Layer 3 capabilities—such as OSPF, BGP, VRF, multicast, MLAG redundancy, VXLAN segmentation, ACLs, QoS, and network automation via CLI or RESTful APIs . The device supports ONIE for flexible OS deployment or can run HPE network OS. It draws approximately 94 W of power under normal load and supports overhead cooling via P2C airflow for half‑rack deployments Side‑by‑side pairing provides high-availability and scale in compact rack footprints—a design well‑suited for storage fabrics, AI fabrics, or dense data center interconnects.
Advanced Options
Optimized for high-density deployment, the SN2100M delivers consistent, predictable throughput and minimal latency—even under full 100 GbE load. Its compact half‑width design allows two switches in 1U for redundancy or increased port count without additional rack space needs. Operating around 94 W,HPE it remains energy efficient, with thermal design suited to side-by-side installation and managed airflow. Dual internal PSUs, modular board access, and HPE -certified build ensure reliability in critical deployments. Switching fabric supports simultaneous mixed-speed operation with zero packet loss and full line-rate performance across ports.
