Description
Performance and Scalability
The C1-N7718 Cisco ONE Nexus 7700 18 slot chassis switch is a high-performance data center switch designed for large-scale networks. It has a modular design that allows for easy upgrades and customization, making it a versatile and scalable solution for growing data centers.
Performance: The C1-N7718 switch has a high-performance architecture that supports a switching capacity of up to 21.6 Tbps and a forwarding rate of up to 16 Bpps. This means that it can handle a large amount of traffic and provide high-speed connectivity for multiple devices in a data center. It also supports advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS) and access control lists (ACLs) that enable administrators to prioritize and manage network traffic.
Scalability: The C1-N7718 switch is highly scalable, with support for up to 18 line card slots and up to 768 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports or 192 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports. This means that it can easily accommodate future growth and expansion, as additional line cards can be added as needed to increase capacity and connectivity. Additionally, the switch supports virtualization and overlays, which enable administrators to create multiple virtual networks within a single physical network, further enhancing scalability and flexibility.
High Availability and Resiliency Features
The C1-N7718 Cisco ONE Nexus 7700 18 slot chassis switch is designed with high availability and resiliency features to ensure maximum uptime and reliability. These features include:
- Redundant power supplies: The switch has up to four hot-swappable power supplies, each capable of supplying power to the entire switch. If one power supply fails, the remaining power supplies can take over without interrupting the switch’s operation.
- Redundant fans: The switch has up to eight hot-swappable fans, which provide cooling to the system. If one fan fails, the others can compensate for the loss, ensuring that the switch operates at optimal temperature.
- Virtual Port Channel (vPC): vPC enables a single device to appear as two separate devices to other devices in the network. This provides redundancy and resiliency by allowing both devices to actively participate in network traffic, and in the event of one device failing, the other device can take over seamlessly.
- Fabric redundancy: The switch has a fully redundant fabric, which means that if a fabric module fails, the other fabric module can take over without interrupting the switch’s operation.
- Hot-swappable modules: The switch’s line cards and fabric modules are hot-swappable, which means that they can be replaced without having to power down the switch, reducing downtime and increasing availability.
Scalable and Reliable
The C1-N7718 Cisco ONE Nexus 7700 18 slot chassis switch is designed to provide a scalable and reliable solution for high-performance data center networks. Here are some of the features that make it scalable and reliable:
- High-performance switching fabric: The C1-N7718 switch has a high-capacity switching fabric that can handle large volumes of data traffic. This allows it to support a large number of network devices and applications, making it highly scalable.
- Redundant power supplies and fans: The switch has redundant power supplies and fans to ensure that it continues to function even if one of these components fails. This increases the reliability of the switch, as it minimizes the risk of downtime due to hardware failures.
- Modular design: The switch has a modular design that allows for easy expansion and upgrading. You can add more line cards, power supplies, and fans as your network grows, without having to replace the entire switch. This makes it a highly scalable solution.
- Support for advanced features: The C1-N7718 switch supports advanced features such as virtualization, quality of service (QoS), and security. These features help to improve network performance and reliability, by enabling you to prioritize traffic, isolate network segments, and secure your network against threats.
