This helps future-proof your network architecture and allows for implementing significant speed upgrades to the architecture over time
image 3

Notes: Only ODD ports support x8 breakout. For example, port 3 configured for x8 breakout results in port 4 being blocked and not usable.

  • – SN4700M provides ultra-low cut-through latency 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 flows
  • – 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
  • – 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 400 GbE speeds while transferring data across both Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks
  • – Designed to use less electric power than competing switches, providing one of the industry’s lowest power draws, producing less heat than competing products, providing reduced OPEX cost
  • – Provides enough switching bandwidth to transport all ports at 400 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.

  • – 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

Notes:

1. JG915A - Storage connectivity support for this transceiver is limited to 40Km.

2. HPE QSA28 (QSFP28 to SFP28) adapter (845970-B21) is compatible with all M-Series switches and is required with this transceiver to convert a QSFP+/QSFP28 slot to a single SFP+/SFP28 slot for 25G or 10G operation with this switch model.

3. The SN2010M 25G DAC connectivity to another M-Series switch or 3rd party switch is limited to a 0.5 m DAC cable. End device connectivity may use 1 m or a 3 m (26 gauge) DAC.

4. This RJ45 crossover cable is compatible and supported for use when directly connecting the two M-Series switch MGMT ports. When configuring MLAG and also utilizing in-band management, the MGMT0 ports of the two switches should be connected.

5. The 845972-B21 HPE 100 Gb QSFP28 Bidirectional XCVR does not interoperate with the JH419A and R0R40A HPE 100 Gb QSFP28 LC SWDM4 MM 100 m transceivers.

6. 100 Gbe SWDM4 LC transceivers JH419A and R0R40A are interoperable.

7. 10 Gbase-T SFP+ RJ45 transceiver supports maximum length 30M CAT6a cable. This 10Gabse-T transceiver is not qualified for use at 1 GbE and shall be operated only at 10 GbE.

8. Cumulus 5.9.2 and later revisions are required for support of the QSA28 and R0R41B in a QSA28 in SN3700CM, SN3700M, SN4600cM, and SN4700M switches. R0R41B transceiver supports maximum length 30M CAT6a cable. R0R41B 10Gabse-T transceiver is not qualified for use at 1 GbE and shall be operated only at 10 GbE.

9. All cable ports must be set as NRZ or PAM4. A mix between the two technologies is not supported.

10. The R8M61A class 6 power requirements support use in the SN4600cM ports 49 to 64.

11. Direct connect from SN4700M to SN3700M supported, PAM4 signals only.

12. All cable ports must be set as PAM4, NRZ is not supported.

13. R8M51A and R8M52A QSFP-DD to QSFP56 breakout DAC operates 2 x4-lanes at 2 x200G or 2 x100.

14. R8M60B and S3N93A support breakout 4x to other switches and adapters via an R8M61A.

15. The OSFP transceiver is not compatible with Nvidia’s SN5600M 800 GbE switch which requires a finned top OSFP transceiver.

16. APC connectors are not interchangeable with MPO connectors. APC connector inserted into an MPO connector will damage the APC connection alignment.

17. S1D19A/R9B42A eDR4 support breakout 4x to other switches and adapters via S1D17A/R9B63A FR1.

18. The S1D17A/R9B63A power requirements support use in the SN4700 ports swp1-32; SN3700M ports swp1-32; SN3700cM ports swp1-2, swp31-32; SN3420M ports swp53, swp55, swp57, swp59; SN4600cM ports swp49-64

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, ECMP groups, 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.
