NVIDIA Spectrum SN2410
The NVIDIA Spectrum SN2410 is a full-width 1U top-of-rack leaf switch delivering 48 ports of 10G/25G SFP28 and 8 ports of 40G/100G QSFP28. Providing 4 Tbps of line-rate switching capacity with ultra-low 300 nanosecond cut-through latency, the SN2410 delivers predictable performance and zero packet loss for cloud datacenters and financial trading networks. Traded widely across secondary networking desks, the SN2410 represents an anchor 25G/100G leaf switch with flexible Cumulus Linux and SONiC open networking support.

Works together
How the NVIDIA Spectrum SN2410 connects to servers, storage and the network: 3 ways, with the parts and products on each path.
iSCSI and NVMe/TCP over Ethernet
Keep the speed the same at all three points: a 25GbE server, a 25GbE switch port and a 25GbE array port. Mixed speeds work but the slowest link sets the pace.
