UK's No. 1 Cisco & Meraki Authorised Partner and Supplier
Cisco Part Number: N9K-X9732C-FX is a Cisco Nexus 9500 32p 100G QSFP cloud-scale line card
Quick specification:
The Cisco Nexus 9500 Series modular switches offer versatile cloud-scale line cards and fabric modules, supporting various Ethernet interfaces from 1 to 400 Gbps. These cloud-scale components provide remarkable throughput and scalability, enabling configurations with up to:
192 x 400-Gigabit Ethernet ports
384 x 200-Gigabit Ethernet ports
1024 x 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports
2048 x 50-Gigabit Ethernet ports
1024 x 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports
2304 x 25-Gigabit Ethernet ports
2304 x 1/10-Gigabit Ethernet ports
The Cisco Nexus 9500 platform leverages cloud-scale ASICs for exceptional performance, enabling large data center deployments. These ASICs deliver not only fundamental networking capabilities but also advanced features like policy-based fabric architectures (ACI or VXLAN), efficient buffering, integrated security, and real-time telemetry across multispeed Ethernet ports.
The latest Cisco 400-Gigabit cloud-scale ASICs support Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) and enhanced streaming telemetry.
Designed as a Clos fabric, the Cisco Nexus 9500 platform offers direct interconnections between N9K-X9732C-FX and other line cards and rear-mounted fabric modules. Load balancing optimally distributes traffic across fabric modules, enhancing system reliability and redundancy. Even in the event of a fabric module loss, the switch continues to operate at reduced capacity, thanks to the remaining fabric modules providing switching capacity to the line cards.
