SuperBlade Pass-Thru Module Overview The Supermicro SBM-25G-P10 Pass-Thru Module is designed for Supermicro SuperBlade enclosures for high performance datacenter traffic application usage. It is compatible with the SuperBlade 8U (SBE-820J), 6U (SBE-610J), and 4U (SBE-414E) enclosures. Up to four modules can be used in the 8U or 6U enclosure, and up to two in the 4U enclosure.
Features Features • Twenty internal 25G/10G downlink ports mapped from server node to external QSFP connection • Up to twenty external 25G/10G uplink ports through the five QSFP28 ports • Auto-configuration of the port speed • Minimal configuration and management through the Chassis Management Module (CMM) QSFP28 Ports UID LED Console Port...
SBM-25G-P10 User's Manual Management The SBM-25G-P10 module is managed through the CMM module web interface. It supports the upload of configuration files, as described later in this manual. Note that CMM version 3.55 or later is required. The module can be connected to any computer using the RS-232 Console port. This is generally used to collect debug logs for the Supermicro Technical Support team.
Port Mapping Port Mapping The port mapping between the blade server and the switch external port varies depending on the model of the enclosure. The on-board dual port NIC card and the optional add-on mezzanine card with dual ports have internal mapping to the pass-thru module as shown below.
