Product Information
The Cisco Nexus 7000 Enhanced F2-Series 48-Port Fiber 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module offers outstanding flexibility and wire-rate performance on each port. The module enables the deployment of high-density, low-latency, scalable data center architecture.The Cisco Nexus 7000 series switch provides the foundation for the Cisco unified fabric. It is a modular data center-class product line designed for highly scalable 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. The fabric architecture scales beyond 15 terabits per second, designed to support future 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. To meet the requirements of the most mission-critical network environments, the switches deliver continuous system operations and virtualized services.
- Supports for 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
Each port can be used at 1 or 10 Gigabit Ethernet speed, allowing IT departments to migrate to 10 Gigabit Ethernet based on the unique requirements of their networks. - Comprehensive layer 2 and layer 3 capabilities
The comprehensive set of layer 2 and layer 3 functions makes this module excellent for data center networks. - VDC
The Cisco Nexus 7000 F2e-Series Fiber Module's VDC feature helps enable the virtualization of a single physical device in one or more logical devices. Each provisioned logical device is configured and managed as if it were a separate physical device. - Cisco FabricPath technology based on IETF TRILL
Cisco FabricPath uses routing principles in the data plane and control plane to bring reliability and scalability to transparent bridging while maintaining flexibility and ease of use. - FCoE supports
I/O consolidation at the access layer and core of the network reduces the physical infrastructure that needs to be acquired, managed, and maintained. - Well suited for deployment in latency-sensitive environments
Port-to-port latency is less than 6 microseconds, enabling support for latency-sensitive applications. - Interface flexibility with Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) and Enhanced SFP (SFP+) support
Interface flexibility allows fulfillment of any Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet deployment needs, per port, with a variety of media types. - Efficient power use combined with high performance
Power consumption is exceptionally low, typically about 7.5 W per port. - VOQ with centralized arbitration
This feature enables fairness when one or more destinations is congested and provides support for lossless unified fabric. - Load sharing across all fabric modules
Through the high-availability design, bandwidth is shared across all fabric modules simultaneously for optimal performance. - Online insertion and removal (OIR)
Hot insertion and removal is supported for continuous system operation. - Identification (ID) LED
Through the beacon feature, administrators can clearly identify the module for a service condition; ports on the I/O module can send beacons as well.
