Overview of the Cisco N9K-C9504-B2 Nexus 9504 Switch Chassis BundleThe Cisco N9K-C9504-B2 Nexus 9504 is a powerful switch chassis that forms the backbone of data center networks. Let's break down the components included in the bundle to gain a clearer understanding of its capabilities.
Chassis OverviewThe "N9K-C9504-B2" refers to the specific model of the Nexus 9504 switch chassis. This chassis is the physical frame that houses the various components necessary for network connectivity. Its design is optimized for scalability and high-performance networking.
Supervisor Engine (Sup 3)The "Sup 3" denotes the Supervisor Engine, a critical component responsible for managing and controlling the overall operation of the switch. In this bundle, the Supervisor Engine 3 is included, showcasing advanced capabilities such as enhanced processing power, improved memory, and support for the latest networking protocols.
Power Supplies (PS 2)Power is a crucial aspect of any networking equipment. The "PS 2" indicates that the bundle comes with two power supplies, ensuring redundancy and reliability. This dual power supply configuration is essential for maintaining network uptime by seamlessly transitioning between power sources in case of a failure.
Line Cards (SC 6)Line cards, denoted by "SC 6," are responsible for handling data traffic within the switch. In this bundle, six line cards are included, providing ample capacity for handling a large number of connections and data streams simultaneously. This is particularly important in data center environments where high data throughput is essential.
Fabric Modules (FM 3)Fabric Modules, represented by "FM 3," play a crucial role in facilitating communication between different components within the switch. With three fabric modules included in the bundle, the Nexus 9504 ensures efficient data transfer and minimizes latency, contributing to a high-performance network infrastructure.
Fan Trays (FT)Maintaining optimal operating temperatures is vital for the longevity and reliability of networking equipment. The "FT" signifies the inclusion of fan trays in the bundle, which help dissipate heat generated during operation. Adequate cooling is essential for preventing overheating and ensuring the switch operates within specified temperature ranges.
