Ultra-low-latency, data center optimized
The Dell Networking S-Series S4810 is an ultra-low-latency 
10/40GbE top-of-rack (ToR) switch purpose-built for applications 
in high-performance data center and computing environments. 
Leveraging a non-blocking, cut-through switching architecture, 
the S4810 delivers line-rate L2 and L3 forwarding capacity 
with ultra low latency to maximize network performance. The 
compact S4810 design provides 48 dual-speed 1/10GbE (SFP+) 
ports as well as four 40GbE QSFP+ uplinks to conserve valuable 
rack space and simplify the migration to 40Gbps in the data 
center core. Priority-based flow control (PFC), data center bridge 
exchange (DCBX) and enhance transmission selection (ETS), 
coupled with ultra low latency and line rate throughput, make 
the S4810 ideally suited for iSCSI storage, FCoE transit and DCB 
environments. In addition, the S4810 incorporates multiple 
architectural features that optimize data center network flexibility, 
efficiency and availability, including I/O panel to PSU airflow or 
PSU to I/O panel airflow for hot/cold aisle environments, and 
redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans.
The S4810 also supports Dell Networking’s Embedded Open 
Automation Framework, which provides advanced network 
automation and virtualization capabilities for virtual data center 
environments. 
An Active Fabric™ design with S4810 switches can be built out 
to create scalable, high-performance 10/40GbE data center 
networks. The resiliency of an Active Fabric is superior to legacy, 
centralized core architectures, since the failure of a single node 
within a CLOS network cannot bring down the entire switching 
fabric. 
The S4810 is supported with Active Fabric Manager (AFM), which 
helps automate design and deployment of multi-tier fabrics. AFM 
helps customers manage multiple fabrics from a single console, 
enabling a unified view of the entire fabric, when combined 
with Dell OMNM and other management solutions. With AFM, 
over 25 templates can be customized for specific workload and 
deployment scenarios, easily delivering active/active L2 or L3 
designs for 1/10/40G with Dell Z Series switches to rack and blade 
infrastructures (including Dell MXL).
Key applications
•  High-density 10GbE ToR server aggregation in high- 
performance data center environments
•  Design with the Z Series fabric core switch to create a  
flat, two-tier, non-blocking 1/10/40GbE data center  
network design
•  Design a Clos-based Active Fabric with Z Series switches in  
leaf and spine with the S4810/S4820T 10GbE ToR switches for 
cost-effective aggregation of 10GbE uplinks
•  Enterprise iSCSI (iSCSI over DCB)
•  High-performance SDN/OpenFlow 1.0/1.3* enabled with 
ability to inter-operate with industry standard OpenFlow 
controllers
Key features
•  1RU high-density 10/40GbE ToR switch with 48 dual-speed 
1/10GbE (SFP+) ports and four 40GbE (QSFP+) uplinks  
(totaling 64 10GbE ports with breakout cables)
•  1.28Tbps (full-duplex) non-blocking, cut-through switching 
fabric delivers line-rate performance under full load with  
800ns latency
•  Scalable L2 and L3 Ethernet switching with QoS and a full 
complement of standards-based IPv4 and IPv6 features,  
including OSPF, BGP and Policy Based Routing (PBR) support
•  VRF-lite enables sharing of networking infrastructure and  
provides L3 traffic isolation across tenants
•  Increase VM Mobility region by stretching L2 VLAN within or 
across two DCs with unique VLT capabilities like Routed VLT, 
VLT Proxy Gateway
•  User port stacking support for up to six units
•  Embedded Open Automation Framework adds VM awareness 
as well as automated configuration and provisioning  
capabilities to simplify the management of virtual network  
environments
•  Modular Dell Networking OS software delivers inherent  
stability as well as advanced monitoring and serviceability 
functions
•  Enhanced mirroring capabilities including 1:4 local mirroring, 
Remote Port Mirroring (RPM) and Encapsulated Remote Port 
Mirroring (ERPM). Rate shaping combined with flow based 
mirroring enables the user to analyze fine grained flows
•  Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans
•  Hardware support for DCB, FIPS operation
