The CN1610 is a high bandwidth, managed Layer 2 switch that provides 16
10-Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) ports. The switch includes
redundant power supplies and fan trays that support hot swapping for high
availability.
This 1U switch can be installed in a standard 19-inch IBM N series 42U system
cabinet or third-party cabinet.
The switch supports local management through the console port or remote
management by using Telnet or SSH through a network connection. The CN1610
includes a dedicated 1-Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 management port for out-of-band
switch management. You can manage the switch by entering commands into the
command-line interface (CLI) or by using an SNMP-based network management
system (NMS).
