Description
The Mellanox MSN2410‑CB2F is a Mellanox/NVIDIA Spectrum SN2410 series 1 U Open Networking Ethernet switch designed for modern data centers. It integrates 48 SFP28 25 GbE ports with 8 QSFP28 100 GbE uplink ports and delivers up to ~4 Tb/s switching capacity with ~2.97 billion packets per second forwarding. This platform supports wire‑speed connectivity from 10 GbE up to 100 GbE per port, suitable for leaf‑spine and top‑of‑rack designs in hyperscale or enterprise networks.
The SN2410 platform supports multiple open network operating systems such as Mellanox Onyx, Cumulus Linux, or SONiC via ONIE bootloader. Redundant hot‑swap power supplies and modular cooling fans provide high availability; verify airflow direction (P2C/C2P) against your rack cooling plan. Always check supported transceivers and optics before deployment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this switch hot‑swappable?
A: Honestly, the power supplies and fans are hot‑swappable. The switch itself should be powered down before major module changes. Always follow data center maintenance windows and ESD precautions.
Q: Is the MSN2410‑CB2F obsolete or is there a direct replacement path?
A: This SN2000 series is widely used but Mellanox/NVIDIA has newer SN2700/SN3100 platforms. The direct replacement depends on your port density and throughput needs; ensure the newer SKU matches your existing optics and NOS strategy.
Q: Will I lose configurations when updating the OS or firmware?
A: In our experience, configuration persists across firmware updates if you export the running config to a file before upgrading. With open NOS (Onyx/Cumulus/SONiC), always stash configs externally.
Q: Are units new or refurbished?
A: You’re seeing mixed conditions in the market. Some listings are new, others recertified or surplus. Verify with the seller and inspect serial/OEM part tags during inbound inspection.
Q: How do I choose between Onyx, Cumulus, or SONiC?
A: Each has a different operational model and feature set. Onyx is Mellanox’s native NOS; Cumulus Linux integrates with Linux network automation; SONiC is open source. Choose based on your team’s skill set and automation tools.
