HP VC Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 12-port 10/20/40GbE + 6x 8/10/40Gb QSFP+ Uplink Network Module Synergy 12000 794502-B21

Physical Interfaces:
6y 40Gb QSFP+ Ports as 6x 40Gb or 24x 10Gb Network or 24x 8Gb FC FibreChannel
4x Interconnect link ports
2x ICM Cluster Ports
1x RJ-45 port - not specified



The HPE Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 Module is designed for Composable Infrastructure.
Its disaggregated, rack-scale design uses a primary/satellite architecture to consolidate data center network connections, reduce hardware and scales network bandwidth across multiple HPE Synergy Frames.
The primary module contains intelligent networking capabilities that extend connectivity to satellite frames through Interconnect Link Modules.
This eliminates top of rack switch need and substantially reduces cost.
The reduction in components also simplifies fabric management at scale while consuming fewer ports at the data center aggregation layer.
The HPE VC SE 40Gb F8 modules eliminate up to 95% of network sprawl at the compute module edge with one device that converges traffic inside frames and directly connects to external LANs.
Each redundant pair of Virtual Connect modules provide 4 adjustable downlinks connections (three Ethernet and one Fibre Channel) on each compute module.
A Fibre Channel Upgrade license needs to be purchased separately to enable the Fibre channel functionality.
Up to six uplinks using QSFP+ interfaces are available for connection to upstream Ethernet switches.
Up to 24 uplinks are available for connection to upstream Ethernet and Fibre Channel are available with splitter cables.
The HPE VC SE 40Gb F8 Modules reduce the number of components required compared to traditional and other converged network solutions by eliminating the need for separate Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches and cables.
Also, Virtual Connect wire-once connection management is built-in enabling compute modules adds, moves and replacement in minutes instead of days or weeks.
The Primary/Satellite disaggregated architecture removes fixed of ratios of interconnects in every frame and allows extending networking resources pool for Virtual Connect to satellite frames.

Performance
6xQSFP+ external uplink ports configurable as 1x40Gb or 4x10Gb Ethernet or 4x8Gb FC connected to external LAN/SAN switches
12 x 20Gb or 12x10Gb Ethernet downlinks to compute module Converged Network Adapters
Each FlexHBA can be configured to transport either Fiber Channel over Ethernet/CEE or Accelerated iSCSI protocol.
Each FlexNIC and FlexHBA is recognized by the compute module as a PCIe physical function device with adjustable speeds from 200Mb to 20Gb in 100Mb increments when connected to a 2-port Converged Network Adapter or any Flex10/20 NIC and from 1Gb to 20Gb in 200Mb increments when connected to a Dual-Port 10/20Gb Converged Network Adapter
Extended list of direct attach copper cable connections supported • Low latency (1.0 µs Ethernet ports) throughput provides switch-like performance.
Line-rate, full-duplex 2.56 Tbps bridging fabric
MTU up to 9216 Bytes
Jumbo Frames
Supports up to 98K L2 MAC entries
VLAN Tagging, Pass-Thru and Link Aggregation supported on all uplinks

Management
Integrated composer based HPE OneView included with every frame, providing out-of-the-box for individual Virtual Connect configuration and management.
Pre-configure compute modules I/O configurations prior to their installation for easy deployment
Move, add, or change compute module network connections on the fly without impacting LAN and SAN administrator
Monitoring and management via industry standard SNMP v.1, v.2 and v..3
Provisioned storage resource is associated directly to a specific virtual machine - even if the virtual server is re-allocated within a frame
Compute module-side NPIV removes storage mana gement constraint of a single physical HBA on a compute module does not add to SAN switch domains or require traditional SAN management
Licensing support for native Fibre Channel through Composer powered by OneView
