Description
Seamless Network Expansion of Managed Switch
The N5K-C5548UP-B-S32 is a 32-port managed switch that is part of the Cisco Nexus 5000 series of data center switches. It is designed to provide high-speed, low-latency network connectivity for enterprise-level data centers and cloud environments.
One of the key features of this switch is its seamless network expansion capabilities. It supports Virtual Port Channel (vPC) and FabricPath technologies, which allow for the creation of a single, highly available network with multiple connections to the core and aggregation layers. This allows for a more flexible and scalable network architecture, as well as improved network performance and reduced downtime.
In addition, the N5K-C5548UP-B-S32 also supports advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS), Access Control Lists (ACLs), and Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) to ensure that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and security.
This switch supports both 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 40 GbE connectivity, providing high-speed, low-latency connectivity to both server and storage systems. The switch also supports FCoE, allowing for the consolidation of storage and data networking over a single network infrastructure.
