Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders

Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders

Product Highlights :

1.  designed to provide connectivity for rack and blade servers

2.  FE / 1 GigE / 10 GigE copper and fibre / 20 GigE

3.  consolidates the virtual and physical access layers, using 10 Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth

4.  Work with a Nexus parent switch to deliver GigE and 10 GigE

5.  Works like a remote line card by forwarding all traffic to a Nexus 5000/6000/7000 parent over 10GigE uplinks where it is shaped

6.  Can support more than 1500 GigE ports and 1000 10 GigE ports managed from a single parent

7.  Enables Fibre Channel over Ethernet combining LAN and SAN traffic on a link called unified fabric

8.  Fabric speed : 80 Gbps in each direction (160-Gbps full duplex)

9.  Performance :  Hardware forwarding at 400 Gbps or 297 mpps



Main Features :

Adapter FEX

Can be logically partitioned into multiple vNIC's

Each vNIC acts like a physical NIC delivering QoS

VM-FEX

Provides switching of VM traffic directly to the hypervisor

Factory Warranty

Disappointingly the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders only have a 1-year limited hardware warranty. The warranty includes hardware replacement with a 10-day turnaround from receipt of a return materials authorization (RMA).



Obviously the push here is to make the customer buy Smartnet for their unit because really, who can wait for 10 days to get their defective unit back!
