IBM Redbooks Product Guide
The IBM Flex System™ EN2092 1Gb Ethernet Scalable Switch enables administrators to offer full Layer 2
and 3 switching and routing capability with combined 1 Gb and 10 Gb uplinks in an IBM Flex System
Enterprise Chassis. Such consolidation simplifies the data center infrastructure and helps reduce the
number of discrete devices, management consoles, and management systems while leveraging the 1 Gb
Ethernet infrastructure. In addition, the next-generation switch module hardware supports IPv6 Layer 3
frame forwarding protocols. This Scalable Switch delivers port flexibility, efficient traffic management,
increased uplink bandwidth, and strong Ethernet switching price/performance.

Did you know?
The EN2092's flexible port licensing allows you buy only the ports that you need when you need them.
The base switch configuration includes fourteen 1 GbE connections to the servers and ten 1 GbE uplinks.
You then have the flexibility of turning on more 1 GbE connections to the server and more 1 GbE or 10
GbE uplinks when you need them using IBM® Feature on Demand licensing capabilities providing “pay
as you grow” scalability.

IBM Flex System, a new category of computing and the next generation of Smarter Computing, offers
intelligent workload deployment and management for maximum business agility. This chassis delivers
high-speed performance complete with integrated servers, storage, and networking for multi-chassis
management in data center compute environments. Furthermore, its flexible design can meet the needs
of varying workloads with independently scalable IT resource pools for higher utilization and lower cost
per workload. While increased security and resiliency protect vital information and promote maximum
uptime, the integrated, easy-to-use management system reduces setup time and complexity, providing a
quicker path to ROI.
