The N2K-C2232TF is a Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Module designed to provide high-performance connectivity between servers and switches in a data center network. It offers 32 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) connectivity, making it an ideal choice for high-density server environments.
Here are some of the key specifications of the N2K-C2232TF Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Module:
- Port Density: The module offers 32 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE connectivity. These ports are compatible with both SFP and SFP+ transceivers.
- Speed: The ports support speeds of up to 10 Gbps.
- Connectivity: The module can be connected to a parent switch (such as a Nexus 5000 or Nexus 7000) through a unified fabric connection. It uses Cisco Fabric Extender Technology (FEX) to extend the parent switch fabric to the fabric module.
- Power: The module requires a power supply unit (PSU) to function, which can provide up to 960 watts of power.
- Management: The module can be managed through the parent switch using Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) or Cisco Nexus Fabric Manager (NFM).
- Compatibility: The module is compatible with a wide range of Cisco switches, including the Nexus 5000, Nexus 6000, Nexus 7000, and Nexus 9000 series switches.
- Virtualization: The module supports Cisco's Virtual Port Channel (vPC) technology, which allows for the creation of a single logical interface across two physical switches. This enables increased resiliency and scalability in the network.
The N2K-C2232TF Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Module is a 32-port fabric module that can be installed in a compatible Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender or in a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch. Here's a step-by-step guide to installing the module:
- Ensure that the switch or fabric extender is powered off and disconnected from power sources before installing the fabric module.
- Align the module with the empty slot on the switch or fabric extender and gently push it in until it clicks into place.
- Connect the fabric module to the switch or fabric extender using the provided fabric module connector.
- Connect the power and fan module cables to the fabric module.
- Power on the switch or fabric extender and verify that the fabric module is recognized and initialized.
- Configure the fabric module as required using the switch or fabric extender management interface.
- Verify that the fabric module is functioning correctly by checking the status of the ports and verifying connectivity to other network devices.
The N2K-C2232TF is a Cisco Nexus 2000 series fabric module designed to provide high-performance connectivity for Cisco Nexus switches. The module offers 32 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet with a low-latency, lossless fabric architecture.
In terms of security, the N2K-C2232TF module offers several features to protect the network and the data transmitted over it. These features include:
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): The module supports ACLs, which allow administrators to control traffic flow based on specific criteria such as source IP address, destination IP address, protocol type, and port number.
- Port Security: The N2K-C2232TF module offers several port security features such as MAC address lockdown, which limits the number of MAC addresses allowed on a port. This feature helps prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to the network.
- Network Segmentation: The module allows network segmentation, which is the process of dividing a network into smaller subnetworks. This feature helps control the spread of attacks and limits the potential damage in case of a security breach.
- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): The N2K-C2232TF supports STP, which helps prevent loops in the network topology. STP also offers protection against Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks by limiting the number of frames that can be forwarded in a loop.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The module supports QoS, which allows administrators to prioritize traffic and allocate bandwidth based on the type of traffic. This feature helps ensure that critical traffic such as voice and video is given priority over other traffic.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): The N2K-C2232TF supports LACP, which allows administrators to bundle multiple physical links together to form a single logical link. This feature provides redundancy and improves network performance.
- Secure Shell (SSH): The module supports SSH, which provides secure remote access to the device. SSH uses encryption to protect the credentials and data transmitted over the network.
