Which two backend switches support 100 GbE?

ADCS-7308

BS5232-ON

C29264-ON

DD4040

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, C

The two backend switches that support 100 GbE are:

B . S5232-ON

C . Z9264-ON

Dell EMC Networking S5232-ON:

Features:

A 1U high-density switch with 32 ports of 100 GbE QSFP28.

Supports 10/25/40/50/100 GbE speeds through breakout cables.

Use Cases:

Ideal for high-performance backend networks in PowerScale clusters.

Dell EMC Networking Z9264-ON:

Features:

A 2U switch offering 64 ports of 100 GbE QSFP28.

Provides extensive scalability for large network deployments.

Use Cases:

Suitable for large-scale PowerScale clusters requiring extensive bandwidth.

Why Options A and D Are Incorrect:

A . DCS-7308:

The DCS-7300 series is modular and may support 40/100 GbE, but it's not commonly associated with PowerScale backend networks.

Not a standard recommendation for PowerScale deployments.

D . D4040:

The Dell Networking D4040 is a 40 GbE switch, not supporting 100 GbE natively.

Does not meet the requirement for 100 GbE support.

Dell PowerScale Reference:

Dell EMC PowerScale Network Design Considerations:

Discusses recommended switches for backend networking, including 100 GbE options.

Switch Specification Sheets:

S5232-ON Data Sheet:

Details port configurations and capabilities.

Z9264-ON Data Sheet:

Provides specifications and deployment scenarios.

Dell EMC Best Practices Guide:

Recommends network hardware compatible with PowerScale clusters.
