Description

– 32 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) server access ports using SFP+ SR and LR optical or CX1 direct-attach copper interconnects
– 8 10 Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE uplink ports using SFP+ SR and LR optical or CX1 direct-attach copper interconnects
– Low-latency, cut-through switching, ideal for 10 Gigabit Ethernet server and pass-through blade server connectivity
– Unified fabric environments
– IEEE Data Center Bridging (DCB)
– Host PortChannel and vPC (up to 8 PortChannel members per PortChannel, with no restriction on the number of PortChannels)
– ISSU
– Highly scalable virtual modular system with up to 384 10 Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE ports
– Compact 1RU form factor
– Front-to-back cooling compatible with data center hot-aisle and cold-aisle designs, with all switch ports at the rear of the unit in close proximity to server ports
– Hardware capable of back-to-front cooling (requires new power supply and fan tray)
– Dual-redundant power supplies included in default configuration
– Hot-swappable fan trays
– All user-serviceable components accessible from the front panel
– Hardware capable of Gigabit Ethernet on all ports (requires new software)
– Operates as a remote I/O module, extending the switch fabric for Cisco Nexus 5010 and 5020 Switches
– Can be mixed and matched with different types of Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders to the same parent switch to support various types of connectivity
– Zero-touch provisioning, including configuration and upgrade
