Defines the N9300 Smart Switch architecture, in which the NPU handles routing and switching while DPUs provide Hypershield-managed traffic filtering and also describes how Service-Ethernet ports connect the NPU and DPUs to support traffic inspection and forwarding.
Smart Switch
Defines Smart Switches such as N9300 Series platforms that combine converged networking, Hypershield-enabled security, advanced segmentation, and hardware-accelerated DPU processing.
Smart Switch architecture
Explains the Smart Switch architecture and workflow, showing how the NPU handles routing and switching while Hypershield-managed DPUs inspect traffic and enforce security policies.
