Description

The SN6620C is a 1RU fixed multilayer 32Gbps Fibre Channel fabric switch for small to large SANs, and for use as an edge switch in larger enterprise fabrics. It suits all-flash array and virtualised workloads, server-rack to SAN-core connectivity, and FC-NVMe-ready environments, including upgrades of 8/16G server racks to 32G.

This SKU is the 24 active port base model, with 32Gb SFP+ ports that autosense at 4/8/16/32 Gbps and give 32 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth per port. The 48-port chassis scales to 1536 Gbps of aggregate bandwidth, and ports can be activated in 8-port steps up to 48. Base NX-OS software and the 24 active ports are included. Extra ports need the HPE SN6620C 32Gb 8-port Fibre Channel Upgrade E-LTU (R0Z10AAE). Advanced services such as IVR and fabric-wide QoS need an Advantage or Premier licence. It runs Cisco MDS 9000 NX-OS and is managed through the CLI, NX-API or Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller.

This SKU has no bundled SFP+ optics. Compatible HPE transceivers include the 32Gb FC SW SFP+ (Q9D30A) and LW SFP+ (Q9D31A), the 16Gb SW (C8S72A) and LW (C8S73A), and the MDS 9000 8Gb SFP+ (AJ906A).

FAQs

Q: How do I add more ports beyond the 24 active ports?
A: Ports are activated in 8-port steps with the HPE SN6620C 32Gb 8-port Fibre Channel Upgrade E-LTU (R0Z10AAE), up to a maximum of 48 active ports.

Q: Which licences does this switch need?
A: Base NX-OS software and the 24 active ports are included. The optional Advantage licence adds NDFC and Enterprise Package features. The optional Premier licence adds SAN Analytics as well. Advanced services such as IVR and fabric-wide QoS need the Advantage or Premier licence.

Q: Which SFP+ transceivers work with this switch?
A: Compatible HPE transceivers are the 32Gb FC SW SFP+ (Q9D30A) and LW SFP+ (Q9D31A), the 16Gb SW (C8S72A) and LW (C8S73A), and the MDS 9000 8Gb SFP+ (AJ906A) for short range.

Q: What power supplies does it use?
A: It uses up to two hot-swappable 650W AC power supplies on 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz. Typical draw is 217 to 297 W depending on the optics fitted.

Q: How is the switch managed?
A: Through the CLI, NX-API or SNMPv3, using the out-of-band 10/100/1000 Ethernet port or the serial console. Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller can also be used.
