Description
Product Overview
The 90TY5 Dell EMC Networking MX9116n is a fabric switching engine designed to provide high-speed connectivity between data centers and within large enterprise networks. The device is built on a modular platform that supports various network topologies and can scale to meet the needs of growing networks. In this article, we will discuss the features, benefits, and use cases of the MX9116n.
Overview of Dell EMC Networking MX9116n
The Dell EMC Networking MX9116n is a high-performance switching engine that can support up to four 100GbE QSFP28 and twelve QSFP28-DD fabric ports. The device is powered by Broadcom’s StrataXGS Tomahawk 3 switch silicon, which enables it to deliver up to 6.4 Tbps of non-blocking switching capacity. The MX9116n is also designed to be flexible, with a modular architecture that allows customers to add or remove components as needed.
The MX9116n supports a range of network protocols, including Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and InfiniBand. It also supports various virtualization technologies, such as VXLAN and NVGRE, which enable customers to create virtualized networks that can span multiple physical switches. The device is also designed to be easy to manage, with a web-based GUI and a command-line interface (CLI) that allow customers to configure and monitor the device.
Features and Benefits of Dell EMC Networking MX9116n
High-speed Connectivity
One of the main benefits of the MX9116n is its high-speed connectivity. The device supports up to four 100GbE QSFP28 ports, which can provide up to 400 Gbps of bandwidth per port. This enables customers to build high-speed data center networks that can support a large number of servers and storage devices. The MX9116n also supports twelve QSFP28-DD fabric ports, which can provide up to 800 Gbps of bandwidth per port. This makes it possible to create large-scale fabric networks that can handle massive amounts of data traffic.
Modular Architecture
Another key feature of the MX9116n is its modular architecture. The device is designed to be flexible, with a range of components that can be added or removed as needed. This allows customers to build networks that can scale to meet their changing needs. For example, customers can add additional QSFP28 ports or fabric ports to increase the switching capacity of the device. They can also add power supplies or fan modules to increase the redundancy of the device.
Virtualization Support
The MX9116n also supports various virtualization technologies, such as VXLAN and NVGRE. These technologies enable customers to create virtualized networks that can span multiple physical switches. This can be useful for large enterprises that need to isolate different departments or applications within their network. The MX9116n also supports network virtualization using the VMware NSX platform, which enables customers to create virtualized networks that can span multiple data centers.
Ease of Management
The MX9116n is designed to be easy to manage, with a web-based GUI and a CLI that allow customers to configure and monitor the device. The web-based GUI provides an intuitive interface that can be used to configure VLANs, QoS policies, and other network settings. The CLI provides a more granular level of control, allowing customers to configure the device using command-line commands. The MX9116n also supports SNMP, which enables customers to monitor the device using network management software.
