Description
NVIDIA Mellanox MSN4600-CS2RC Spectrum-3 2U 64-Port 100GbE Open Ethernet Switch with Cumulus Linux: This is a 2U fixed-form-factor Open Ethernet top-of-rack/aggregation switch built on the NVIDIA Spectrum-3 ASIC, with 64 QSFP28 ports of 100GbE, C2P (Connector-to-Power) airflow, dual redundant AC PSUs, and Cumulus Linux pre-installed. This is a Cumulus pre-loaded SKU; it is NOT the ONIE-only "-CS2RO" variant nor the Onyx "-CS2R" variant. This is a refurbished unit.
Engineering Context
The MSN4600-CS2RC delivers line-rate 100GbE switching across all 64 QSFP28 ports using NVIDIA Spectrum-3 silicon. Spectrum-3 supplies deterministic low latency, a unified shared buffer for fairness under microbursts, and rich telemetry. Cumulus Linux brings a Debian-based NOS with full Layer 2/Layer 3 features, automation tooling (Ansible, NCLU/NVUE), and EVPN-VXLAN support for overlay fabrics. C2P airflow places intake on the port (cabling) face, suitable for hot-aisle/cold-aisle layouts where ports face the cold aisle.
Deployment & Use Cases
Leaf or spine layer of 100GbE Ethernet leaf-spine fabrics. EVPN-VXLAN overlay deployments in cloud and enterprise data centers. Aggregation for AI/ML clusters and HPC compute pods using ConnectX-5/6 adapters. Storage networking with RoCEv2 over 100GbE.
