Description
Advanced Features and Capabilities
The N5K-C5596UP-FA Cisco One Nexus 5596UP switch is a high-performance, 48-port, 10/40 Gigabit Ethernet switch that supports both SFP+ and SFP+ transceivers. It is part of the Cisco Nexus 5000 series of switches, which are designed for data center environments.
Some of the advanced features and capabilities of this switch include:
- Support for Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) for comprehensive management and visibility of the entire network
- Support for Virtual PortChannel (vPC) and Virtual Device Context (VDC) for increased network resiliency and scalability
- Support for Network Virtualization using VXLAN, NVGRE, and VLANs for multi-tenancy and segmentation
- Support for Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritization of different types of traffic
- Support for Cisco FabricPath, which provides a faster and more scalable Layer 2 network
- Support for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) for converging Fibre Channel and Ethernet networks
- Support for Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) for power savings
- Support for IPv6 and various security features such as access control lists (ACLs), port security, and Cisco TrustSec for securing the network
Additionally, this switch supports Cisco’s Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), which is a software-defined networking (SDN) solution that automates and simplifies the management of data center networks.
Power Options and Redundancy
The N5K-C5596UP-FA Cisco One Nexus 5596UP switch supports both AC and DC power options. The switch can be powered by either a single AC power supply or by dual AC or DC power supplies for redundancy.
The power supplies are hot-swappable, which means they can be replaced without shutting down the switch. This allows for easy maintenance and improves the availability of the switch.
Additionally, the switch has a built-in power redundancy feature that allows the switch to continue operating even if one of the power supplies fail. This feature ensures that the switch continues to provide network connectivity even in the event of a power supply failure.
In terms of power consumption, the switch supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which allows the switch to conserve power when the network is not in use. Additionally, the switch supports Cisco’s EnergyWise technology, which allows for real-time monitoring and management of power consumption across the entire network.
Therefore, the N5K-C5596UP-FA Cisco One Nexus 5596UP switch is designed to provide high availability and power redundancy, allowing it to be deployed in mission-critical data center environments.
