The N2K-C2348UPQF-QSA Cisco Nexus 2348UPQ 10GBPS Fabric Extender Expansion module is a hardware component designed to provide additional connectivity and scalability to a Cisco Nexus 2000 series fabric extender (FEX) and Cisco Nexus 5000 or 7000 series switches. Here are some of its specifications:
- Port density: The N2K-C2348UPQF-QSA offers 48 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports using QSFP+ connectors. These ports can operate at either 10 Gbps or 40 Gbps speed.
- Forwarding rate: The module has a forwarding rate of up to 960 Gbps, making it suitable for high-performance data center applications.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): The N2K-C2348UPQF-QSA supports Cisco's Universal Power Over Ethernet (UPOE) technology, which can deliver up to 60 watts of power per port to power devices such as IP phones, cameras, and access points.
- Virtual Port Channel (vPC): The module supports Cisco's vPC technology, which allows two Nexus switches to appear as a single logical switch to the fabric extender, providing redundancy and load balancing.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The N2K-C2348UPQF-QSA supports advanced QoS features, including classification, marking, policing, and shaping, to prioritize traffic and ensure that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth.
- Management: The module can be managed through the Cisco Nexus 2000 series fabric extender using the Cisco Nexus Fabric Manager or through the Cisco Nexus 5000 or 7000 series switches using the Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) software.
The N2K-C2348UPQF-QSA Cisco Nexus 2348UPQ Fabric Extender Expansion module provides several benefits to users. These benefits include:
- Increased Connectivity: The module provides additional connectivity options, enabling users to connect to multiple devices in a data center environment. This improves the flexibility and scalability of the data center, making it easier to manage and maintain.
- Improved Performance: The module provides high-speed connectivity options, enabling users to transfer data quickly and efficiently between devices. This improves the overall performance of the data center, reducing latency and improving application response times.
- Reduced Operational Costs: The module is designed to be energy efficient, helping to reduce operational costs. It also simplifies management and maintenance tasks, reducing the time and resources required to manage the data center.
- Improved Management: The module is designed to work seamlessly with the Cisco Nexus 2000 series Fabric Extender, providing a unified fabric that can be managed from a single point. This simplifies management tasks, making it easier to monitor and maintain the data center.
The N2K-C2348UPQF-QSA Cisco Nexus 2348UPQ 10 GBPS Fabric Extender Expansion module has several security features that ensure the safety and confidentiality of data. Here are some of the security features of this module:
- Port Security: This feature allows administrators to control the number of devices that can connect to a specific port on the expansion module. This prevents unauthorized access to the network.
- MACsec: The MACsec feature provides secure communication over the Ethernet links between the expansion module and other network devices. It encrypts data at the MAC layer and prevents unauthorized access.
- AAA: Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) provides a framework for controlling access to network resources. It authenticates users, authorizes access to specific resources, and tracks usage for accounting purposes.
- Secure Boot: The secure boot feature ensures that the module boots from a trusted software image. It prevents unauthorized software from running on the module, which could compromise the network's security.
- ACLs: Access Control Lists (ACLs) are used to restrict traffic based on specific criteria, such as source or destination IP addresses, protocols, or ports. They prevent unauthorized access and protect the network from attacks.
- DHCP Snooping: DHCP snooping prevents rogue DHCP servers from assigning IP addresses to network devices. It ensures that only authorized DHCP servers are used to assign IP addresses.
- STP Root Guard: The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Root Guard feature prevents unauthorized switches from becoming the root bridge. It ensures that only authorized switches are allowed to become the root bridge, which prevents network loops and improves network stability.
