Cisco Nexus 2000 Series
A Unique Approach for Transitioning from Gigabit Ethernet to
10 Gigabit Ethernet and Unified Fabric
The
Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders offer a unique
approach designed specifically to give customers a means of
granularly transitioning from Gigabit Ethernet to 10 Gigabit
Ethernet and Unified Fabric.
The Cisco Nexus 2000 Series sits on top
of a server rack and essentially acts as a remote line card
for an upstream switch and becomes an extension of the
switch, so software, configuration, and policy are all
inherited from the upstream switch; even advanced features
such as FCoE and Cisco VN-Link support are inherited. This
approach offers two primary benefits to the customer. First,
total cost of ownership (TCO) is reduced because of simpler
cabling requirements (primarily intrarack) and because there
are fewer switches to manage.
Consistent Management and
Operations
Second, the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series
allows customers to support their existing Gigabit Ethernet
attached servers while providing access to advanced features
and maintaining a consistent management and operations
environment across the data center. The initial model of the
fabric extender is the Cisco Nexus 2148T Fabric Extender
(Figure 4), which supports 48 Gigabit Ethernet downlinks and
4 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks.
