Cisco Nexus 7000 F3-series 48port 10gbe (sfp+)

Introduction

The Cisco Nexus® 7000 F3-Series 48-Port 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module offers outstanding flexibility and wire-rate performance on each port for high-density, low-latency, scalable data center architectures.

Powering Cisco Unified Fabric Architecture

Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches are the foundation of Cisco® Unified Fabric and meet the demands of mission-critical data centers. They deliver exceptional availability, scalability, and the proven, comprehensive feature set of Cisco NX-OS Software.

The first in the next generation of data center switching platforms, 7000 Series switches provide integrated resilience and are optimized for availability, reliability, scalability, and ease of management. The fabric architecture of 7000 Series switches scales beyond 17 terabits per second (Tbps) and supports high-density 10 Gigabit, 40 Gigabit Ethernet, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet deployments. A single chassis supports up to 768 native 10-Gbps ports, 192 40-Gbps ports, and 96 100-Gbps ports.

The 7000 F3-Series module is a low-latency, high-performance, high-density 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet module. It supports all 7000 Series switches and shares a common system architecture and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology. Up to 768 wire-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports are supported in a single Cisco Nexus 7000 18-Slot Switch chassis.

The 7000 F3-Series module is based on the Cisco Nexus F3-Series switch-on-a-chip (SoC) ASIC, which increases performance and lowers the module’s power and cooling requirements. The F3-Series SoC is powered by a flexible packet engine, making it an excellent solution for building public and private cloud environments. The F3-Series module supports all of the foundational networking protocols needed to build Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks. It also supports highly virtualized environments with virtual overlay networking and hardware support for Cisco Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) and Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) technology. The 7000 F3-Series modules let customers transparently interconnect their data centers with protocols such as Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV), Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS).

The 7000 F3-Series module delivers 720 million packets per second (mpps) of distributed Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding and up to 480 Gbps of data throughput. A 7000 18-Slot Switch fully populated with the 7000 F3-Series module can deliver up to 11.5 bpps and 15.4 Tbps of switching performance.
