Overview
The Cisco Nexus 9300-FX Series switches belongs to the fixed Cisco Nexus 9000 platform based onCisco Cloud Scale technology. The platform support cost-effective cloud-scale deployments, an increased number of endpoints, and cloud services with wire-rate security and telemetry. The platform is built on modern system architecture designed to provide high performance and meet the evolving needs of highly scalable data centers and growing enterprises.
Cisco Nexus 9300-FX series switches offer a variety of interface options to transparently migrate existing data centers from 100-Mbps, 1-Gbps, and 10-Gbps speeds to 25- Gbps at the server, and from 10- and 40-Gbps speeds to 50- and 100- Gbps at the aggregation layer. The platforms provide investment protection for customers, delivering large buffers, highly flexible Layer 2 and Layer 3 scalability, and performance to meet the changing needs of virtualized data centers and automated cloud environments.
Cisco provides two modes of operation for Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches. Organizations can useCisco NX-OS Softwareto deploy the switches in standard Cisco Nexus switch environments (NX-OS mode). Organizations can also deploy the infrastructure that is ready to support theCisco Application Centric Infrastructure(Cisco ACI™) platform to take full advantage of an automated, policy-based, systems-management approach (ACI mode).
The Cisco Nexus 93180YC-FX Switch (Figure 1) is a 1RU switch with latency of less than 1 microsecond that supports 3.6 Tbps of bandwidth and 1.2 bpps. The 48 downlink ports on the 93180YC-FX are capable of supporting 1-, 10-, or 25-Gbps Ethernet or as 16-, 32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports[1],creating a point of convergence for primary storage, compute servers, and back-end storage resources at the top of rack.
The uplink can support up to six 40- and 100-Gbps ports, or a combination of 1-, 10-, 25-, 40, 50-, and 100-Gbps connectivity, offering flexible migration options.
The Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP Switch (Figure 3) is a 1RU switch that supports 696 Gbps of bandwidth and over 517 mpps. The 48 1GBASE-T downlink ports on the 9348GC-FXP can be configured to work as 100-Mbps, 1-Gbps ports. The 4 ports of SFP28 can be configured as 1/10/25-Gbps and the 2 ports of QSFP28 can be configured as 40- and 100-Gbps ports, or a combination of 1-, 10-, 25-, 40, 50-, and 100-Gbps connectivity, offering flexible migration options.
The Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP is ideal for big data customers that require a Gigabit Ethernet ToR switch with local switching.
