Lenovo Press Product Guide
The 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 external ports in a 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 cost savings with flexible port mapping and Features on Demand upgrades, efficient traffic management,
increased external bandwidth, and strong Ethernet switching price/performance.

Did you know?
The base switch configuration comes standard with 24x 1 GbE port licenses that can be assigned to
internal or external 1 GbE connections or even external SFP+ ports with flexible port mapping. For
example, this feature allows you to trade off one external 1 GbE RJ-45 port for one internal 1 GbE port (or
vice versa) or trade off ten 1 GbE ports for one 10 GbE port. You then have the flexibility of turning on
more ports when you need them using Lenovo's Features on Demand upgrade licensing capabilities that
provide "pay as you grow" scalability without the need to buy additional hardware.
Delivering advanced virtualization awareness and cloud readiness helps simplify management and
automates VM mobility by making the network VM aware with VMready® which works with all the major
hypervisors.
