FAQs

Q: How many ports are active out of the box on the HPE SN6710C?
A: The SN6710C ships with 8 ports active from a total of 24 physical ports. Additional ports can be unlocked incrementally using HPE port-on-demand (PoD) licences, allowing you to scale your SAN fabric without replacing hardware.

Q: What Fibre Channel speeds does the SN6710C support?
A: The switch supports 64Gbps, 32Gbps, and 16Gbps FC speeds with auto-negotiation, making it compatible with current Gen 6 HBAs and storage arrays as well as next-generation 64Gb Gen 7 infrastructure.

Q: Is the HPE SN6710C compatible with non-HPE storage and servers?
A: Yes. The SN6710C is based on Broadcom Gen 7 FC ASIC technology and supports standard FC interoperability, making it compatible with major storage vendors including NetApp, Dell EMC, Pure Storage, and IBM, as well as third-party FC HBAs.

Q: Does the SN6710C support NVMe over Fibre Channel?
A: Yes. The 64Gb platform fully supports NVMe-oFC (NVMe over Fibre Channel), enabling ultra-low latency storage access for all-flash arrays and high-performance workloads such as AI/ML, databases, and virtualisation.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE SN6710C in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller stocking HPE SAN and data centre networking products. We offer fast Australia-wide shipping and expert pre-sales support to help size your FC fabric correctly.
