Description
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) Support
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is a set of standards for Ethernet networks aimed at reducing energy consumption by reducing the amount of time that network equipment, such as switches and routers, spend transmitting data. The N7K-M108X2-12L Cisco Nexus 8 Ports 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module is equipped with EEE support, which allows it to enter a low power state when network traffic is low, reducing energy consumption and operating costs.
The N7K-M108X2-12L module supports EEE on all 8 of its 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing energy savings for both ends of a network connection. The module automatically switches between low-power and high-power modes based on network traffic, ensuring that network performance is not impacted by power-saving initiatives.
In addition to providing energy savings, the N7K-M108X2-12L module also supports other features aimed at reducing network power consumption, such as the ability to configure port-level power savings, and support for short idle durations to minimize power consumption during periods of low network traffic.
Quality of Service (QoS) and Traffic Management
The N7K-M108X2-12L Cisco Nexus 8 Ports 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module provides Quality of Service (QoS) and Traffic Management capabilities to help manage network congestion and ensure efficient and effective network communication.
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the ability to prioritize network traffic based on the importance or criticality of the data being transmitted. The N7K-M108X2-12L module allows administrators to classify and mark network traffic based on different criteria such as IP address, port number, protocol type, and more. This helps to ensure that critical applications, such as real-time voice and video, receive the bandwidth they need to function properly.
Traffic Management, on the other hand, involves controlling the flow of network traffic to prevent congestion and maintain performance. The N7K-M108X2-12L module provides several features to help manage traffic, including rate limiting, traffic shaping, and congestion avoidance. Rate limiting limits the rate at which traffic is transmitted, while traffic shaping modifies the flow of traffic to better match the available bandwidth. Congestion avoidance, on the other hand, dynamically adjusts the rate at which traffic is transmitted to prevent congestion.
In conclusion, the N7K-M108X2-12L Cisco Nexus 8 Ports 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module provides advanced Quality of Service and Traffic Management capabilities to help ensure efficient and effective network communication. These features help to prevent network congestion and prioritize critical network traffic, ensuring that the network functions optimally even in high-traffic environments.
