The Cisco Nexus N56128P-6FEX-1G is a high-performance layer 3 managed switch designed for data center and enterprise applications. It features 52 fixed 10-Gbps Ethernet and FCoE ports, with six additional 40-Gbps uplink ports that can be configured as 40-Gbps or 4x10-Gbps ports.
Here are the key performance and capacity specifications for the N56128P-6FEX-1G:
- Switching capacity: The switch has a maximum switching capacity of 2.56 Tbps, which means it can handle large amounts of traffic and support high-bandwidth applications.
- Forwarding rate: The switch has a forwarding rate of up to 1.44 billion packets per second (Bpps), which is a measure of how quickly the switch can move packets from input ports to output ports.
- Latency: The N56128P-6FEX-1G has a low latency of less than 1 microsecond, which means it can quickly process and forward data packets.
- Buffer memory: The switch has 12 GB of buffer memory, which helps prevent packet loss and improve overall network performance.
- VLANs: The switch supports up to 4,096 VLANs, allowing for flexible network segmentation and management.
- MAC addresses: The switch can support up to 128,000 MAC addresses, which is the number of unique hardware addresses it can learn and store in its MAC address table.
- IPv4 and IPv6 routing: The N56128P-6FEX-1G can perform both IPv4 and IPv6 routing, allowing it to support modern IP networks.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): The switch does not support PoE, which means it cannot power devices such as IP phones or wireless access points.
- Redundancy: The switch supports a variety of redundancy features, including hot-swappable power supplies, fans, and uplink modules, as well as virtual PortChannel (vPC) technology for high availability.
Quality of Service (QoS) is a set of techniques used to manage network resources and prioritize traffic flow to ensure high network performance and reliability. The N56128P-6FEX-1G Cisco Nexus 52 Slots Layer 3 Managed Switch is designed to support QoS features, which enable network administrators to control and optimize the flow of data across the network.
The QoS configuration of the N56128P-6FEX-1G switch involves setting up policies to prioritize network traffic based on various criteria such as application type, user identity, and network destination. The switch supports a variety of QoS mechanisms including traffic shaping, policing, and marking, which can be used to limit or prioritize traffic flow to different destinations.
Traffic shaping is a QoS mechanism that allows administrators to regulate the flow of traffic by delaying or buffering packets. Policing is another QoS mechanism that limits traffic flow to specific bandwidth limits, while marking allows administrators to assign different priority levels to traffic based on its source or destination.
The N56128P-6FEX-1G switch also supports advanced QoS features such as DiffServ, which enables network administrators to prioritize traffic flow based on the importance of the data being transmitted. This allows critical data such as voice and video to be given higher priority over less important data such as email and web browsing.
Scalable and ReliableThe N56128P-6FEX-1G Cisco Nexus 52 Slots Layer 3 Managed Switch is designed to provide a high level of scalability and reliability in enterprise data center environments. This switch is built with a modular architecture that allows for the easy addition or removal of modules as needed, making it an ideal choice for businesses that need to quickly expand or modify their network infrastructure.
In terms of reliability, the N56128P-6FEX-1G features a number of advanced features such as hot-swappable power supplies and fans, redundant power and cooling, and support for virtual PortChannel (vPC) technology. These features ensure that the switch can operate continuously without interruption, even in the event of a hardware failure or other issue.
In addition, the N56128P-6FEX-1G is a Layer 3 managed switch, which means that it supports advanced routing protocols such as OSPF and BGP, making it ideal for use in large, complex networks. It also features support for advanced features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs), Quality of Service (QoS), and Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF), which allow businesses to optimize network traffic and improve overall performance.
