Description
Performance and Throughput Capabilities
The N9K-C9504 is a Cisco Nexus 9504 switch chassis that offers high-performance and high-density 10/40/100 Gb Ethernet switching capabilities. It has 4 line card slots that support up to 128 100 Gb Ethernet ports, 512 40 Gb Ethernet ports, or 2048 10 Gb Ethernet ports. The switch supports both traditional and cloud-scale data center networking environments and provides industry-leading scaling and high availability features. In terms of performance, the N9K-C9504 offers up to 2.56 Tbps of throughput and up to 1.28 Bpps of forwarding capacity. Additionally, it supports advanced features such as advanced security, quality of service (QoS), and network virtualization.
Network Scalability and Flexibility
The N9K-C9504 is a highly scalable and flexible switch that provides advanced networking capabilities for both traditional and cloud-scale data centers. The switch supports 4 line card slots that can be equipped with a variety of line cards to support different port speeds and densities, such as 10 Gb Ethernet, 40 Gb Ethernet, and 100 Gb Ethernet. This allows network administrators to choose the best combination of line cards to meet their specific network requirements, whether it be for high-density server connectivity, large-scale data center interconnects, or a combination of both.
Additionally, the N9K-C9504 supports advanced features such as network virtualization and automation that allow for efficient and flexible network management. This helps to simplify network operations, reduce downtime, and increase overall network resiliency. With support for Cisco’s Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) and NX-OS operating system, the N9K-C9504 provides a highly flexible and programmable network infrastructure that can be adapted to meet changing network requirements.
Remote Management and Access
The N9K-C9504 supports various remote management and access features that allow network administrators to manage the switch from remote locations. This helps to increase the efficiency and reliability of network operations, as well as reduce the need for on-site maintenance.
Some of the remote management and access features supported by the N9K-C9504 include:
- Out-of-band (OOB) management: The switch supports an OOB management interface that provides a dedicated network connection for remote management and monitoring, even when the main data network is down.
- SSH and Telnet: The switch supports secure shell (SSH) and Telnet protocols, which allow administrators to access the switch’s command-line interface (CLI) remotely.
- SNMP: The switch supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which allows administrators to monitor the switch’s performance and status remotely.
- Syslog: The switch supports system logging, which allows administrators to collect and analyze switch log data remotely.
- Web-based GUI: The switch supports a web-based graphical user interface (GUI), which provides a user-friendly interface for remote switch management and monitoring.
These remote management and access features allow network administrators to efficiently and effectively manage the N9K-C9504 from remote locations, helping to increase the overall reliability and performance of the network.
