Scalable and High-Performance
The DS-X9704 Cisco Switching Module is a highly scalable and high-performance 4-port switch that is designed to meet the demands of today's high-bandwidth applications and network environments. Some of the key features and benefits that contribute to its scalability and high-performance include:
- High-speed connectivity: The switch supports high-speed connectivity with 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) and 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40 GbE) ports, allowing you to handle large amounts of data traffic and support high-bandwidth applications such as video conferencing and virtual desktop infrastructure.
- Virtualization: The switch supports virtualization features such as Virtual Device Context (VDC) and Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) which allow you to partition a single physical switch into multiple virtual switches and group multiple switches together to form a single virtual switch. This can simplify network management and provide high availability.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) features such as traffic prioritization, Class of Service (CoS), and Quality of Service (QoS) policies which allow you to prioritize different types of traffic based on their importance. This ensures that your most important traffic, such as voice and video, receives the necessary bandwidth and low latency, and that less important traffic does not consume too much bandwidth.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): The switch supports Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) which allows you to bundle multiple physical ports together to form a single logical link. This can help to increase the available bandwidth and provide redundancy for your network.
- Cisco IOS Software: The switch runs Cisco IOS Software, which provides a wide range of management and control options, including command-line interface (CLI), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and web-based management.
- High-density ports: The switch provides high-density ports with a small form factor, which makes it ideal for data center environments where space is at a premium.
- High-performance switching fabric: The switch uses a high-performance switching fabric that enables it to handle large amounts of data traffic and deliver low latency and high throughput.
Power Options and Redundancy
The DS-X9704 Cisco Switching Module provides options for power and redundancy to help ensure high availability for data center and high-performance computing environments:
- Dual Power Supplies: The switch supports dual power supplies to help ensure high availability and reliability. If one power supply fails, the other can take over to keep the switch running.
- Redundant Fans: The switch includes redundant fans to help ensure cooling and airflow, even if one fan fails.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): The switch supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing power to be supplied to devices over the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies.
By providing these options for power and redundancy, the DS-X9704 Cisco Switching Module helps to ensure high availability and reliability for data center and high-performance computing environments.
Routing and Switching Protocols
The DS-X9704 Cisco Switching Module supports a variety of routing and switching protocols to help manage and direct network traffic in data center and high-performance computing environments:
- Border Gateway Protocol (BGP): BGP is a routing protocol used to exchange routing and reachability information between routers in a network.
- Open Shortest Path First (OSPF): OSPF is a link-state routing protocol used to distribute routing information within a single autonomous system (AS) in an IP network.
- Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP): VRRP is a protocol that provides redundancy for IP networks by allowing multiple routers to share a single virtual IP address.
- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): STP is a network protocol that helps prevent network loops by disabling links that are not needed.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): LACP is used to bundle multiple physical links together to form a single logical link, increasing bandwidth and providing redundancy.
- Virtual LAN (VLAN): VLANs allow network administrators to segment a network into smaller, more manageable broadcast domains.
