PowerSwitch S4100 (S4148-ON) chipset
Hello all, I've been googling around trying to figure out which Broadcom silicon is in the S4148-ON. I haven't really been able to make much of a determination. Does anyone know which chipset this is? Trident 1? Trident 2? Trident 3? Thanks so much if anyone has already figured this out. -Drew
https://people.ucsc.edu/~warner/Bufs/S4148.html Seems to be BCM Maverick which is pretty close to a Trident2+ iirc.. -- Tim On Tue, Oct 19, 2021 at 8:14 AM Drew Weaver <drew.weaver@thenap.com> wrote:

With OS10 you should be able to see it with: system "sudo hshell -c 'show unit 0'" i.e., from a S4128F-ON: PLAT-SW-A-1# system "sudo hshell -c 'show unit 0'" Unit 0 chip BCM56762_B0 (current) driver BCM56560_B0 (apache) (should be Trident 2+) -Stefano Il giorno mar 19 ott 2021 alle ore 15:13 Drew Weaver <drew.weaver@thenap.com> ha scritto:

Dell S4148 is based on Broadcom Maverick. S4048 is Trident2 (4048-T is Trident2+) and S5248 is Trident3. *From:* NANOG <nanog-bounces+sshali=pluribusnetworks.com@nanog.org> *On Behalf Of *Drew Weaver *Sent:* Tuesday, October 19, 2021 6:09 AM *To:* 'nanog@nanog.org' <nanog@nanog.org> *Subject:* PowerSwitch S4100 (S4148-ON) chipset Hello all, I’ve been googling around trying to figure out which Broadcom silicon is in the S4148-ON.

What is the Broadcom Maverick chipset primarily used or designed for? This seems like a not commonly used chip to me. On Tue, Oct 19, 2021 at 8:27 AM Steven Shalita via NANOG <nanog@nanog.org> wrote:

It's a lower bandwidth Trident2+ with some different I/O options iirc. Same featureset, but a mix of 10G and 25G serdes, targeted at like 48x10g+4x100G boxes. -- Tim On Tue, Oct 19, 2021 at 8:42 AM Colton Conor <colton.conor@gmail.com> wrote:

That was my understanding of Maverick... For some reason there's something in my head that said Extreme had one. Was it the X450-G2? -- Tom

Also, worth keeping the Cumulus HCL handy for the older BRCM chipset references. :) https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/networking/ethernet-switching/hardware-compatib... (Filter by ASIC, et voila.) -- Tom
I think that Dell is one of the few vendors using it AFAIK? My understanding same class as T2+, with lower cost, but there are some limitations. https://www.broadcom.com/products/ethernet-connectivity/switching/strataxgs/... I thought this was a good explanation: https://people.ucsc.edu/~warner/Bufs/maverick.html -----Original Message----- From: Colton Conor <colton.conor@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2021 6:40 AM To: Steven Shalita <sshali@pluribusnetworks.com> Cc: Drew Weaver <drew.weaver@thenap.com>; NANOG <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Re: PowerSwitch S4100 (S4148-ON) chipset What is the Broadcom Maverick chipset primarily used or designed for?
