FAQs

Q: What are the primary use cases for the MSN2201-CB2FC?
A: This switch is ideal for out-of-band management networks or as a top-of-rack switch in data centers requiring 1GbE host connectivity with high-speed 100GbE uplinks to aggregation layers. It supports both traditional and software-defined networking deployments.

Q: Can the QSFP28 ports be split into lower-speed interfaces?
A: Yes, each of the four QSFP28 ports can be configured as 100GbE or split into 40GbE interfaces, providing flexibility for various uplink and aggregation scenarios.

Q: What operating systems are compatible with this switch?
A: The MSN2201-CB2FC ships with Cumulus Linux and is ONIE-compatible, supporting open network operating systems including SONiC for automation-driven, DevOps-friendly network management.

Q: Does this model support redundant power supplies?
A: Yes, the MSN2201-CB2FC includes dual redundant AC power supplies that are hot-swappable, ensuring high availability and minimizing downtime during power supply maintenance or failure.

Q: What is the airflow direction for this model?
A: The MSN2201-CB2FC features Port-to-Connector (P2C) airflow, also known as back-to-front airflow, where cool air enters from the port side and exhausts through the power supply side of the switch.
