FAQs

Q: What does '24/8' mean in the HPE SN6710C model name?
A: The '24/8' designation means the switch has 24 physical ports but ships with only 8 ports activated by default. Additional port licences can be purchased to unlock up to all 24 ports, providing a cost-effective pay-as-you-grow deployment model.

Q: Are the 32Gb SFP+ transceivers included with this switch?
A: Yes. The HPE S1V09A SKU includes 32Gb Short Wave SFP+ transceivers for the active ports, so you can begin cabling your SAN fabric immediately without sourcing separate optics for the initial ports.

Q: Is the SN6710C compatible with non-HPE storage arrays?
A: The SN6710C is based on Brocade Gen 7 architecture and is broadly compatible with storage arrays and host bus adapters that support standard Fibre Channel protocols. It is optimised for HPE storage platforms including Alletra, Primera, and 3PAR, but interoperates with third-party SAN environments.

Q: Can I manage the SN6710C through HPE OneView?
A: Yes. The SN6710C integrates with HPE OneView for unified infrastructure management, alongside its native web-based GUI and CLI. SNMP support is also available for third-party NMS platforms.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE SN6710C (S1V09A) in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading Australia stocks and sources HPE SAN switching products including the SN6710C range. Visit iptrading.com.au or contact the sales team for pricing, lead times, and configuration advice tailored to your storage environment.

Q: What is the upgrade path if I need more than 8 active ports?
A: HPE offers port upgrade licences that progressively unlock additional ports on the SN6710C — typically in increments up to the full 24-port capacity. This allows organisations to scale SAN bandwidth in line with storage growth without replacing the switch hardware.
