Which two backend switches support 100 GbE?
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.
