Description
Performance Capabilities
The N3K-C3016-FA-L3 is a Cisco Nexus 3000 series switch that provides high-performance, low-latency, and high-density switching for data center networks. Here are some of its key performance capabilities:
- Switching capacity: The N3K-C3016-FA-L3 has a switching capacity of up to 480 Gbps, which means it can handle large amounts of traffic without slowing down.
- Port density: This switch has 16 ports, which are all 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports. This makes it ideal for high-speed connectivity in the data center.
- Low latency: The switch has a low latency of less than 1 microsecond, which makes it ideal for applications that require real-time data processing, such as high-frequency trading, video streaming, and voice over IP (VoIP).
- Management features: The N3K-C3016-FA-L3 is a fully manageable switch, which means it can be configured and managed using a variety of protocols and tools. It supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Command-Line Interface (CLI), and the Cisco Nexus Data Broker, among others.
- Security features: The switch has several security features to protect against unauthorized access and attacks. It supports Access Control Lists (ACLs), Port Security, and 802.1x authentication, among others.
VLAN Configuration and Management
The N3K-C3016-FA-L3 Cisco Nexus 16 Ports Manageable Switch is a high-performance, scalable and flexible device that is designed to meet the needs of modern data centers. One of the key features of this switch is its ability to support Virtual LANs (VLANs), which allows network administrators to segment the network into smaller, more manageable sub-networks. This can help improve network performance, enhance security and simplify network management.
To configure and manage VLANs on the N3K-C3016-FA-L3 switch, network administrators can use a range of tools and interfaces, including the Cisco Nexus Operating System (NX-OS), the Command Line Interface (CLI) and the web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI). Using these tools, administrators can create, edit and delete VLANs, assign VLAN IDs, configure VLAN trunks and manage VLAN membership.
In addition to VLANs, the N3K-C3016-FA-L3 switch supports a range of other advanced features, including Quality of Service (QoS), Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), Network Address Translation (NAT), and Access Control Lists (ACLs). These features can help improve network performance, enhance security and simplify network management.
Security Features and Access Control
The N3K-C3016-FA-L3 Cisco Nexus 16 Ports Manageable Switch is equipped with various security features and access controls to ensure network security and prevent unauthorized access. It has support for advanced security features such as Secure Shell (SSH) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v3, which offer secure remote access and management of the device.
The switch also includes several access control features, such as 802.1x port-based authentication, MAC address filtering, and Access Control Lists (ACLs), to restrict access to the network and ensure that only authorized devices are allowed to connect. The switch also supports Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) segmentation, which enables network administrators to create separate network segments and restrict access between them.
Additionally, the N3K-C3016-FA-L3 switch has built-in support for Network Access Control (NAC) and Cisco TrustSec, which help to provide advanced security features such as identity-based access control and end-to-end security. The switch also features an advanced audit trail that tracks user activity and logs all system events, providing valuable information for troubleshooting and security audits.
