Description
Scalability and Performance
The N7K-C7009-B2S2-R Cisco Nexus 7009 Bundle Layer 3 Managed Switch is a high-performance modular switch that is designed for scalability and high availability. It is built to handle the needs of large-scale data center networks, providing high-speed connectivity and advanced features for managing traffic.
Scalability: The N7K-C7009-B2S2-R switch is highly scalable and can be configured with up to nine expansion modules. Each module can support up to 48 ports, which means that the switch can have a total of 432 ports. This provides ample capacity to handle large amounts of traffic and to support a large number of devices. Additionally, the switch is designed to be highly scalable in terms of bandwidth. It can support up to 1.92 Tbps of bandwidth, which means that it can handle high levels of data traffic without slowing down.
Performance: The N7K-C7009-B2S2-R switch is designed for high performance, with a focus on low latency and high throughput. It has a number of advanced features that help to optimize performance, including hardware-based forwarding and routing, virtual PortChannel (vPC) technology, and support for high-speed interfaces such as 40 GbE and 100 GbE. The switch also supports advanced quality of service (QoS) features, which help to prioritize traffic and ensure that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth.
Advanced Security Features
The N7K-C7009-B2S2-R Cisco Nexus 7009 Bundle Layer 3 Managed Switch is a high-performance switch designed for large data center environments. It comes with advanced security features that are crucial for securing networks against modern threats. Here are some of the security features of the switch:
- Role-based access control: The switch supports role-based access control (RBAC) which allows administrators to restrict access to specific commands or features based on the user’s role. This prevents unauthorized access to critical network resources.
- Virtual device contexts: The switch supports virtual device contexts (VDCs) which allow administrators to partition the switch into multiple logical devices. This provides an additional layer of security by isolating different applications or departments from each other.
- Network virtualization: The switch supports network virtualization technologies like Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) which allow multiple virtual networks to coexist on a single physical infrastructure. This provides greater security by isolating traffic between different virtual networks.
- Secure boot and image signing: The switch supports secure boot and image signing which ensure that only authorized software is loaded on the switch. This prevents the installation of unauthorized software or malicious code on the switch.
- Control Plane Policing: The switch supports Control Plane Policing (CoPP) which allows administrators to limit the amount of traffic that can be sent to the control plane of the switch. This prevents denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and other network-level threats.
- Secure management: The switch supports secure management protocols like Secure Shell (SSH), Secure Copy (SCP), and Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) which encrypt the management traffic and prevent unauthorized access to the switch.
Advanced Security and Access Control Features
The N7K-C7009-B2S2-R Cisco Nexus 7009 Bundle Layer 3 Managed Switch is a high-performance, modular switch that provides advanced security and access control features for enterprise-level networks. Some of the key features of this switch include:
- Role-based access control (RBAC): This feature allows network administrators to define and assign roles to users, which determines the level of access they have to network resources. RBAC helps to prevent unauthorized access and maintain network security.
- Access control lists (ACLs): ACLs are used to control traffic flow and restrict access to network resources. The N7K-C7009-B2S2-R switch supports both standard and extended ACLs, which can be configured based on IP address, protocol, port number, and other parameters.
- MAC address filtering: This feature enables administrators to restrict access to the network based on the MAC address of the device. This helps to prevent unauthorized access and improve network security.
- Port security: The switch supports port security features such as dynamic ARP inspection (DAI), IP source guard, and DHCP snooping, which help to prevent spoofing attacks and other security threats.
- Virtual routing and forwarding (VRF): VRF is used to create virtual routing instances that enable multiple routing tables to coexist on a single physical device. This feature provides enhanced network security and isolation by enabling multiple tenants to share a common network infrastructure.
- Network Address Translation (NAT): The switch supports NAT functionality, which allows multiple devices to share a single IP address. This helps to conserve IP addresses and improve network security by hiding the internal network topology from external devices.
