Description
24 Port Configuration and Supported Interfaces
The Cisco N6004EF-4FEX-10G is a 24-port Layer 3 managed switch chassis designed for enterprise-level networking applications. It offers a range of interfaces to support different networking needs.
The switch provides 24 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) ports, which can operate at either 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 1 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Additionally, the switch also supports four 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GE) ports that can be used for high-speed uplink connectivity or for connecting to other switches in a data center environment.
The switch chassis is also equipped with a number of expansion slots that can be used to add additional ports or other network modules. The chassis supports up to four expansion modules, each of which can accommodate up to four additional ports. Available expansion modules include 10GE, 40GE, and 100GE line cards, as well as service modules for network services such as firewalls and load balancers.
The Cisco N6004EF-4FEX-10G also features advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities, including support for OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, and PIM protocols. It offers hardware-based forwarding and routing, providing high-performance packet processing and low latency.
Layer 3 Routing and Switching Capabilities
The Cisco N6004EF-4FEX-10G is a layer 3 managed switch chassis that provides high-performance routing and switching capabilities for enterprise-level networks. It features 24 ports, each capable of providing 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10G) connectivity, and supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching.
The layer 3 routing capabilities of this switch allow it to route IP packets between different networks based on their destination IP address. This is achieved through the use of routing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, and EIGRP. The switch also supports policy-based routing, which allows administrators to direct traffic based on specific criteria such as source or destination IP address, protocol type, or application type.
In addition to routing capabilities, the N6004EF-4FEX-10G also supports a range of layer 2 switching features, including VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). It also supports Quality of Service (QoS) features, which allow administrators to prioritize traffic based on specific applications or user groups.
The switch is designed to provide high availability and resilience, with support for hot-swappable power supplies and fans, as well as redundant management and control plane processors. It also includes advanced security features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs), MAC address filtering, and Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption for management traffic.
High Availability Features
The Cisco N6004EF-4FEX-10G is a highly reliable and scalable Layer 3 managed switch chassis that comes equipped with a range of high availability features. Some of the key features that make this switch highly available and resilient include:
- Redundant Power Supplies: The N6004EF-4FEX-10G switch chassis comes with two hot-swappable power supplies that can provide power to the switch in the event of a power supply failure.
- Redundant Fans: The switch chassis also has four hot-swappable fans that help ensure proper cooling and prevent overheating. In case of fan failure, the remaining fans can provide sufficient cooling to keep the switch running.
- Dual Modular Redundancy: The N6004EF-4FEX-10G switch chassis supports dual modular redundancy (DMR) technology. This means that the switch has two redundant control planes that can take over in case of a primary control plane failure. This ensures uninterrupted network operation.
- Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol: The switch supports Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), which is a network protocol that provides automatic default gateway redundancy. This ensures that if the primary router fails, the secondary router can take over and provide network connectivity.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol: The switch supports Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which allows for the creation of link aggregation groups (LAGs) between the switch and other devices in the network. This helps to increase network availability and provide redundancy.
- Hot Swappable Modules: The N6004EF-4FEX-10G switch chassis has hot-swappable line cards and supervisor modules, which allows for easy replacement in case of failure without interrupting the network.
