1 Introduction
This document explains the switch configuration for Supermicro switch model SSE-SSE-G3548S and its
companion model SSE-F3548SR. The SSE-F3548SR model provides a data-center-friendly reverse air-flow
for improved cooling when installed in the rear of a rack.

The SSE-F3548S and SSE-F3548SR Layer 2+ Ethernet switches both offer 48 25Gb Ethernet (GbE) ports
allowing data center friendly connectivity to 25GbE servers. These 48 ports can also run in 10Gb or 1Gb
mode to connect to existing low speed network devices. SSE-F3548S/R also offer six ports running at
100Gbps for access to high-speed backbone networks or storage servers. These 100Gbps ports can also
operate at 40Gbps or each can be split in to four different ports to run at 25Gbps or 10Gbps.
This document explains the configuration for Supermicro switch models SSE-SSE-G3548S/R.
