Description
Network Management and Security of Manageable Switch
The Cisco Nexus 9396TX-B switch is a 48-port, layer 3, rack-mountable switch that can be managed through the Cisco Nexus Operating System (NX-OS). The switch supports various network management protocols such as SNMP, NetFlow, and sFlow for monitoring and troubleshooting the network.
In terms of security, the switch supports advanced security features such as access control lists (ACLs), Virtual Private Network (VPN) functionality, and secure shell (SSH) for remote access. It also supports network segmentation through Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) and Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS). Additionally, the switch supports IEEE 802.1X for port-based authentication and control, and can integrate with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) for network access control.
It is recommended to use the latest firmware version and configure security features like firewalls, VPNs and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to protect the network from external and internal threats.
Automation and Programmability of 48 Ports Managed Switch
The Cisco Nexus 9396TX-B18Q is a high-performance, programmable and fully-automated Layer 3 switch that is designed to provide high-speed, low-latency switching for data center and enterprise networks. It features 48 ports of 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet, and is designed to support a wide range of network protocols, including IPv4 and IPv6, OSPF, BGP, and VXLAN.
The switch is fully programmable and can be automated using the Cisco NX-OS operating system, which provides a comprehensive set of features and tools for configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting the switch. The NX-OS software allows users to easily configure and manage the switch using a simple command-line interface (CLI) or a web-based graphical user interface (GUI).
The switch also supports a wide range of automation tools and frameworks, including Python, Ansible, and Chef. This allows users to easily automate and program the switch, and integrate it into their existing network infrastructure. Additionally, the switch supports APIs and other integration options that allow it to be integrated into third-party network management systems and software.
High-Performance of Rack-mountable Switch
The N9K-C9396TX-B18Q Cisco Nexus 48-Ports Layer 3 Rack-mountable Managed Switch is a high-performance device designed for enterprise and data center environments. It offers a range of advanced features and capabilities that make it ideal for large-scale network deployments.
One of the key features of this switch is its 48 10G SFP+ ports, which allow for high-speed data transfer and support for high-bandwidth applications such as virtualization, cloud computing, and big data. It also supports 40G and 100G uplink options, providing even more flexibility and scalability for growing networks.
The switch also supports Cisco’s Nexus Operating System (NX-OS), which provides a range of advanced networking features such as virtualization, automation, and security. This allows for efficient management and control of the network, as well as the ability to easily integrate with other Cisco devices and solutions.
Additionally, the switch is built for high availability and resiliency, with features such as redundant power supplies and fans, as well as the ability to support multiple uplink options for failover.
