Standard Features

Key Features and Benefits

– HPE Storage Switch M-series SN2100M offers cost-effective 16-port option.

– SN2100M switches are ideal for modern server and storage networks, supporting up to 64 ports with breakout cables of 10 or 25, or 16 ports of 40 or 100 GbE. This can be doubled by deploying two units side-by-side in 1U, delivering predictable performance and zero packet loss at line-rate across each port and packet size.

All 16 QSFP28 ports 1-16 support x4 or x2 breakout

− HPE Storage Switch M-series SN2100M can be deployed to support 1 GbE and 10 GbE ports and is designed to be able to evolve over time to support 25, and 100 GbE speeds. This helps future-proof your network architecture and allows for implementing significant speed upgrades to the architecture over time.
− HPE Storage Switch M-series SN2100M provides ultra-low latency of under 300 ns port-to-port. This is advantageous for flash storage which moved the latency bottleneck from storage media to the network, as well as for the bursty nature of today’s software-defined and cloud-driven data center traffic.
− It provides high port density in a single rack unit, allowing for higher capacity and efficiency, simplifying scale-out environments and saving on total cost of ownership. Unique breakout cables fan out individual switch ports to multiple device ports.
− With unique half-width form factors and port counts, these Ethernet switches allow for two HPE M-series SN2100 units to be deployed side-by-side within 1U, allowing for increased density and making it the ideal top-of-rack switch.
− Provides wire-rate performance with zero packet loss across all frame sizes, avoiding any negative impact on applications that could occur with frame loss as unexpected packet loss is unacceptable in modern data centers, especially within a storage network.
− Capable of forwarding 100% capacity wire rate performance with zero packet loss across all ports concurrently at 100 GbE speeds while transferring data across both Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks.
− Designed to use less electric power than competing switches, with less than 6 watts per port, providing one of the industry’s lowest power draws, producing less heat than competing products, and allowing reduced OpEx cost.
− Provides enough switching bandwidth to transport all ports at 100 Gb/s bandwidth concurrently. This allows the switches to avoid head-of-line blocking which can reduce a switches overall performance and throughput.

Key Features

Unnumbered Interfaces: Automation gets even easier with this simplified Internet Protocol (IP) approach for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). All you need is one IP template for leaf nodes and one for spine nodes. BGP Unnumbered, the only difference between a BGP unnumbered configuration and the BGP numbered configuration is that the BGP neighbor is as an interface (instead of an IP address). There is no need to configure an IP address on the interface between the two peers on each side.

Redistribute Neighbor (RDNBR): Get virtual machine (VM) and host mobility by plugging your server into any RDNBR switch and making it layer-3 discoverable on the fabric. If you need to move the server, there’s no need to reconfigure.

Prescriptive Topology Manager (PTM): Efficiently go from whiteboard to physical cable. With PTM, you can program your data center to verify connections and resolve issues faster.

Virtual Routing and Forwarding: Run multiple network paths without the need for multiple switches, giving you traffic isolation and network segmentation for multiple devices.

Ethernet Virtual Private Networks (EVPN): The most advanced capabilities available for EVPN allow legacy layer-2 applications to operate over next-generation layer-3 networks.

NVIDIA User Experience (NVUE): A full command-line interface (CLI) object model of Cumulus Linux enables advanced programmability, extensibility, and usability.

Digital twins: NVIDIA Air makes physical deployments seamless by validating and simplifying deployments and upgrades in a virtual network.

NVIDIA Cumulus® Linux Interface

User Interface: Command Line

With the NVIDIA User Experience (NVUE) object-oriented management tool, Cumulus Linux customers can go beyond the CLI and unify their network management with the rest of the data center management. NVUE enables any APIs to tie into NOS management, including REST, gRPC, RestConf, NetConf, and OpenConfig. Additionally, NVUE is Git-based, enabling Diff, revert, apply, branch, and stash behaviors. NVUE’s configuration is simple: one YAML file ties all Linux configurations together, making it easy to copy configurations from switch to switch.

– Traditional monitoring with SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 and network-specific MIBs, hardware monitoring via watchdog, analytics with SPAN, ERSPAN, ACL-based counters, DOM optics data, thermal sensors, real-time queue depth, and buffer utilization reporting
- • HPE recommends use of SNMPv3 username and password instead of the read-only community; SNMPv3 does not expose the password in the GetRequest and GetResponse packets and can also encrypt packet contents. You can configure multiple usernames for different user roles with different levels of access to various MIBs.
- • The /usr/share/snmp/mibs/Cumulus-Snmp-MIB.txt file defines the overall Cumulus Linux MIB.
– Troubleshooting with dnsutils, syslog, reachability tools, hardware inventory, log files, server-style filesystem, and Spectrum ASIC commands
– The cl-support script generates a compressed archive file (.txz) of useful information for troubleshooting. The system either creates the archive file automatically or you can create the archive file manually. The system creates the cl-support archive file automatically for the following reasons:
- • When there is a core dump file for any application (not specific to Cumulus Linux, but something all Linux distributions support), located in /var/support/core
- • When one of the monitored services fails for the first time after you reboot or power cycle the switch
– sFlow monitoring for system statistics and network traffic
– The NVIDIA Firmware Tool (MFT) mlxlink tool is integrated into Cumulus and is used to check and debug link status and related issues. The tool can be used on different links and cables (passive, active, transceiver and backplane).
– What Just Happened (WJH) provides real-time visibility into network problems and has two components:
- • The WJH agent enables you to stream detailed and contextual telemetry for off-switch analysis with tools such as NVIDIA NetQ.
- • The WJH service (what-just-happened) enables you to diagnose network problems by looking at dropped packets. WJH can monitor layer 1, layer 2, layer 3, tunnel, buffer and ACL related issues. Cumulus Linux enables and runs the WJH service by default.
- • You can choose which packet drops you want to monitor and show by creating channels and setting the packet drop categories (layer 1, layer 2, layer 3, tunnel, buffer and ACL) you want to monitor.
- • NVUE does not provide commands to set the buffer and ACL packet drop categories. You must edit the /etc/what-just-happened/what-just-happened.json file. NVUE supports WJH show commands.

Security

– Access control lists (ACLs) L2-L4 classification through IP/EP tables and CPU protection through hardware enforced ACL-based rate limiting DoS control
– Authenticate and authorize attached devices with 802.1x
– Kernel Address Space Randomization

QoS

HPE Power Advisor

To address a need to accurately estimate power requirements and to ensure the appropriate levels of power and cooling and power-related operating costs, HPE created the HPE Power Advisor utility . The HPE Power Advisor utility provides accurate and meaningful estimates of the power needs for HPE servers, storage, and switches including M-series Ethernet switches.

SNMP MIBs Due to licensing restrictions, Cumulus Linux does not install all MIBs. For the MIBs that Cumulus Linux does not install, you must add the “non-free” archive to /etc/apt/sources.list. To see which MIBs are on your switch, run ls /usr/share/snmp/mibs/.
BGP4-MIB OSPFv2-MIB OSPFv3-MIB RIPv2-MIB	You can enable FRR SNMP support to provide support for OSPF-MIB (RFC-1850), OSPFV3-MIB (RFC-5643), and BGP4-MIB (RFC-1657).
CUMULUS-BGPVRF-MIB	Cumulus Linux also includes its own BGP unnumbered MIB for BGP unnumbered peers, defined in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/Cumulus-BGPUN-MIB.txt, which has the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.40310.7.
CUMULUS-COUNTERS-MIB	Discard counters: Cumulus Linux also includes its own counters MIB, defined in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/Cumulus-Counters-MIB.txt. It has the OID.1.3.6.1.4.1.40310.2.
CUMULUS-RESOURCE-QUERY-MIB	Cumulus Linux includes its own resource utilization MIB, which is similar to using cl-resource-query. This MIB monitors layer 3 entries by host, route, nexthops, ECMPgroups, and layer 2 MAC/BDPU entries. /usr/share/snmp/mibs/Cumulus-Resource-Query- MIB.txt defines this MIB, which has the OID.1.3.6.1.4.1.40310.1.
CUMULUS-SNMP-MIB	SNMP counters. For information on exposing CPU and memory information with SNMP, see this knowledge base article.
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB	Trap monitoring
ENTITY-MIB	Cumulus Linux supports the temperature sensors, fan sensors, power sensors, and ports from RFC 4133. Notes: The ENTITY-MIB does not show the chassis information in Cumulus Linux.
ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB	Physical sensor information (temperature, fan, and power supply) from RFC 3433.
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB	Users, storage, interfaces, process info, run parameters.
BRIDGE-MIB Q-BRIDGE-MIB	The dot1dBasePortEntry and dot1dBasePortIfIndex tables in the BRIDGE-MIB and dot1qBase, dot1qFdbEntry, dot1qTpFdbEntry, dot1qTpFdbStatus, and dot1qVlanStaticName tables in the Q-BRIDGE-MIB tables. You must uncomment the bridge_pp.py pass_persist script in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.

IEEE8023-LAG-MIB	Implementation of the IEEE 8023-LAG-MIB includes the dot3adAggTable and dot3adAggPortListTable tables. To enable this, edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and uncomment or add the following lines: view systemonly included .1.2.840.10006.300.43 pass_persist.1.2.840.10006.300.43 /usr/share/snmp/ieee8023_lag_pp.py
IF-MIB	Interface description, type, MTU, speed, MAC, admin, operation status, counters. Notes: Cumulus Linux disables the IF-MIB cache by default. The non-caching code path in the IF-MIB treats 64-bit counters like 32-bit counters (a 64-bit counter rolls over after the value increments to a value that extends beyond 32 bits). To enable the counter to reflect traffic statistics using 64-bit counters, remove the -y option from the SNMPDOPTS line in the /etc/default/snmpd file. The example below first shows the original line, commented out, then the modified line without the -y option: cumulus@switch:~$ cat /etc/default/snmpd # SNMPDOPTS='-y -LS 0-4 d -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -g snmp -I -smux -p /run/snmpd.pid' SNMPDOPTS='-LS 0-4 d -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -g snmp -I -smux -p /run/snmpd.pid
IP-FORWARD-MIB	IP routing table.
IP-MIB (includes ICMP)	IPv4, IPv4 addresses counters, netmasks.
IPv6 - MIB	IPv6 counters.
LLDP - MIB	Layer 2 neighbor information from lldpd (you need to enable the SNMP subagent in LLDP). You need to start lldpd with the -x option to enable connectivity to snmpd (AgentX).
LM-SENSORS MIB	Fan speed, temperature sensor values, voltages. The ENTITY-SENSOR MIB replaces this MIB.
NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB	Agent timers, user, group config.
NET-SNMP-VACM-MIB	Agent timers, user, group config.
NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB	Local logging.
SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB	Users, access.
SNMP-MPD-MIB	Users, access.
SNMP-TARGET-MIB	SNMP-TARGET-MIB.
SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIBS	Users, access.
SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB	Users, access.
TCP-MIB	TCP-related information.
UCD-SNMP-MIB	System memory, load, CPU, disk IO.
UDP-MIB	UDP-related information.
