Introduzione

- 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
