Description
Management and Monitoring of 96 Ports Switch
The Cisco Nexus 93128TX is a Layer 3 switch with 96 ports. It is a manageable switch, meaning it can be configured and managed through a network management interface, such as the Cisco Nexus NX-OS software. The switch also has monitoring capabilities, allowing administrators to monitor network performance and troubleshoot issues. It is a 1RU switch and the ports are 40G QSFP+ and 10G SFP+ ports. It is designed for Data Center environments, providing high-density 40 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet with unified ports, leading to cost-effective server access and LAN aggregation.
Advanced Security Features
The Cisco Nexus 93128TX is a Layer 3 switch with 96 ports that also has security features to help protect the network. Some of these features include:
- Access control lists (ACLs): These allow administrators to control access to network resources based on various criteria such as IP address, protocol, and port number.
- Port security: This feature allows administrators to limit the number of MAC addresses that can be learned on a specific port.
- IEEE 802.1X authentication: This standard provides a framework for authenticating users on a LAN through a centralized authentication server.
- Cisco TrustSec: This is Cisco’s solution for secure access and identity-based networking. It uses security group tags (SGTs) to identify and classify devices and users on the network, allowing for granular control of network access.
- Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) security: VXLAN is a network virtualization technology that allows administrators to create multiple virtual networks within a single physical network. The Cisco Nexus 93128TX supports VXLAN security features such as VXLAN Access Control Lists (VACLs) and VXLAN Security Group Tag (VSGT)
- Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA) : This feature allows network administrators to detect and prevent cyber threats by analyzing encrypted traffic in real-time.
These security features can be managed through the Cisco Nexus NX-OS software, which provides a centralized management interface for configuring and monitoring the switch.
Serviceability and Troubleshooting
The Cisco Nexus 93128TX Layer 3 switch has several serviceability and troubleshooting features that can help administrators maintain and troubleshoot the switch.
- In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU): This feature allows for the upgrade of the switch software without disrupting network traffic.
- Non-disruptive software upgrades and patching: This feature allows software upgrades and patching of the switch to be done non-disruptively
- Diagnostics and troubleshooting tools: The switch includes a variety of diagnostic and troubleshooting tools such as show commands, syslog, and SNMP traps which can be used to troubleshoot and diagnose issues on the switch
- Remote troubleshooting: The switch includes various remote troubleshooting features such as remote SPAN, RSPAN, and ERSPAN, which allow administrators to remotely monitor and troubleshoot network issues
- Embedded Event Manager (EEM): This feature allows administrators to create custom scripts and actions that can be triggered by specific events on the switch
- Smart Call Home: This feature allows the switch to automatically notify Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) of any critical events, providing proactive alerts and fast troubleshooting
- Syslog and SNMP traps: These features allow the switch to send log messages and notifications to a central management station for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes
All these serviceability and troubleshooting features can be managed through the Cisco Nexus NX-OS software, which provides a centralized management interface for configuring and monitoring the switch.
