HPE R0P82-63001
SN2100M 100 GbE Managed switch – 16 × QSFP28 Ports
The HPE R0P82‑63001 is the factory SKU for the SN2100M M‑Series 100 GbE switch, featuring 16 fixed QSFP28 ports for high-performance Ethernet environments. This half-rack‑width 1U switch delivers line-rate switching at up to 100 GbE per port, with multi-speed support including 1/10/25/40/50 GbE via breakout configurations. Optimized for dense data center applications, including flash storage, NVMe-over‑Ethernet, AI, and hyper‑converged systems, the SN2100M provides 3.2 Tbps switching capacity, cut‑through latency of ~300 ns, and supports side-by-side deployment for mirrored fabrics. As a fully managed device, it supports advanced Layer 3 routing, MLAG, VXLAN, ACL/QoS, and automation interfaces for agile network design.
Features
The SN2100M switch (R0P82‑63001) includes 16 QSFP28 ports, each capable of native 100 GbE and flexible breakout to 50 GbE or 4×25 GbE or 4×10 GbE via optical or direct-attach cables. The non‑blocking 3.2 Tbps fabric delivers consistent throughput regardless of traffic mix or packet size, while two units mounted side-by-side in a single rack unit double density to 32 ports, 6.4 Tbps, and ~4.76 Bpps forwarding capacity. Typical power draw is under 95 W per unit, making it highly efficient. The P2C airflow and half‑width form factor equip data centers with compact reliability.
Advanced Options
Layer‑2 and Layer‑3 capabilities include MLAG redundancy, BGP, OSPF, VRF, VXLAN routing, DCB features (PFC, ETS, DCBX), ACLs, and QoS. Management via CLI, REST API, or ONIE open‑installer offers flexibility for automation and orchestration in modern environments. SN2100M is tailored for environments where performance, scale, and efficiency matter.Built for mission-critical data center environments, the SN2100M offers wire-speed packet delivery with zero frame loss across all ports and packet sizes—essential for storage fabrics and flash workloads. The dynamic shared buffer and cut-through design ensure latency is minimized and congestion is handled predictably.

Reliability & Performance
Side-by-side configuration allows two switches in one rack unit—delivering active‑active redundancy and increased port density without increasing rack footprint or power draw. Coupled with MLAG and VXLAN support, the architecture supports scale-out topologies with streamlined fault tolerance. Energy-efficient thermal performance (P2C airflow) and <95 W typical power consumption reduce operational costs and cooling load.Enterprise software features like DCB for iSCSI/RoCE, ECMP routing, container support, and ACL-based security make it ideal for converged infrastructure. Management interfaces support automation and integration with orchestration tools via Restful APIs or CLI.
