Offering QSFP28 Ethernet ports, SSE-C3632S switch enables robust layer-3 IP fabric for flexible layer-2 overlay in Ethernet fabric architecture. For modern scale-out, leaf-and-spine data center network deployments, SSE-C3632S is positioned as the high-speed spine layer to provide scalable bi-sectional fabric bandwidth for leaf layer. Depending on deployment connectivity, physical Ethernet QSFP28 ports in SSE-C3632S can be configured for either 40Gbps or 100Gbps port, thus allow flexible physical connectivity option between spine layer and leaf layer in the data center Ethernet fabric. Compact form factor gives users the ability to optimize deployment in standalone or top-of-rack environments.
