Description
Security Features and Protocols Supported
The N9K-C9508 Cisco Nexus 9508 Chassis Fabric Switch is designed to provide high-performance, reliable, and secure connectivity to data centers. It supports several security features and protocols to protect data, applications, and network infrastructure from unauthorized access, attacks, and threats.
Some of the key security features and protocols supported by the N9K-C9508 include:
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): ACLs are used to restrict access to network resources based on predefined rules. The N9K-C9508 supports both standard and extended ACLs, which can be applied to interfaces, VLANs, and IP addresses.
- Network Address Translation (NAT): NAT is used to hide internal network addresses from external networks. The N9K-C9508 supports several types of NAT, including static NAT, dynamic NAT, and port address translation (PAT).
- Virtual Private Networks (VPNs): VPNs are used to create secure connections between remote networks or devices over a public network. The N9K-C9508 supports several VPN protocols, including IPsec, SSL, and PPTP.
- Secure Shell (SSH): SSH is used to encrypt remote access to network devices. The N9K-C9508 supports SSHv2, which provides strong encryption and authentication.
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): SSL is used to encrypt web traffic between a client and a server. The N9K-C9508 supports SSLv3 and TLSv1.0, which provide strong encryption and authentication.
- Network Access Control (NAC): NAC is used to authenticate and authorize network devices before they are granted access to network resources. The N9K-C9508 supports several NAC protocols, including Cisco TrustSec and IEEE 802.1x.
- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): STP is used to prevent loops in network topologies. The N9K-C9508 supports several STP protocols, including Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP).
Quality of Service (QoS) Capabilities
The Cisco Nexus 9508 Chassis Fabric Switch (N9K-C9508) is designed to provide high-performance switching for data centers and cloud environments. It comes with advanced Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities that allow administrators to prioritize and manage network traffic to ensure optimal performance for critical applications.
The QoS capabilities of the N9K-C9508 include support for eight priority queues, which can be configured to map to specific types of traffic, such as voice, video, or data. This allows administrators to ensure that mission-critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and resources they need to function properly.
The switch also supports advanced traffic classification and marking capabilities, which enable administrators to identify and prioritize traffic based on specific criteria, such as source or destination IP address, protocol type, or application. This can help ensure that high-priority traffic is given preferential treatment over lower-priority traffic, and can also help prevent congestion and network bottlenecks.
