M1 Module XL Series licenses The M1 modules use non-XL table sizes by default. A Scalable Feature

license is required per chassis to enable XL table sizes.

When scalability license is applied, all line modules have to be of the XL type. A mix of modules drops overall FIB size to non-XL size

This behavior is per VDC, so non XL modules may not affect XL modules in other VDCs

http://www.networkworld.com/reviews/2008/090108-test-cisco-switch.html

Test Conditions: Nexus 7000 I/O modules load balance all of the traffic across all 5 Fabric Cards. The test was performed with 51,200 OSPF routes, 256 OSPF neighbors (one on each 10GbE port), every packet going through a security ACL of 7000 lines, every packet being rewritten using a 500 line QOS ACL, each line cards was doing 48 Mpps lookup, and Cisco Netflow to track up to 512,000 flows .

Nexus 7K Features:Port channels & Virtual Port Channels (vPC)


Virtual Port Channel - vPC

vPC is a Port-channeling concept extending link aggregation to two separate physical switches

Allows the creation of resilient L2 topologies based on Link Aggregation.

Eliminates the need for STP in the access-distribution

Provides increased bandwidth All links are actively

forwarding vPC maintains independent

Virtual Chassis

Single Mgmt Entity1 Configuration

The Nexus 2000 platform integrates with the Nexus 7000 to create a cost effective, highly scalable logical switching platform for server aggregation. The Nexus 7000 performs all configuration and provisioning functions, which simplifies the network architecture and reduces implementation time.

Reduced Cap-EX and Op-EX Cost-Effective Cabling Options Highly Scalable/Flexible NX-OS Feature Consistency Simplified Management Reduced Power Consumption 10GE Transition Strategy

Benefits:

Nexus 7K Features:Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV)


OTV OverviewOTV provides layer-2 network connectivity between remote sites over a layer-3 network. OTV is a key enabler for increasing server availability when clusters and virtualized deployments require layer-2 connectivity between remote sites connected by a layer-3 IP network.

Alternative to EoMPLS, VPLS, and DWDM for extending layer-2 networks Optimized control plane with loop-prevention supporting point-to-cloud connectivity

Benefits:

5.0(3)


Nexus 7K Features:Security


Control Plane Policing (CoPP)

Prioritizes important control plane traffic and protects supervisor from DoS attacks

Follows MQC model, with service-policy applied to “control-plane” interface

Provides granular classification, marking, and rate control for control-plane bound packets

Receive packets Broadcast MAC + non-IP packets

Multicast packets Broadcast MAC + IP packetsException packets Mcast MAC + IP packets

Redirect packets Router MAC + non-IP

ARP packets


Encrypted links

• Provides “WLAN / VPN equivalent” encryption (128bit AES) to LAN connections

•Consists of Encryption (IEEE802.1AE) + Key Management (IEEE802.1X-Rev)

•Performs hop-by-hop encryption which makes it compatible with network services (ACL, QoS, etc)

DCNM: VPC Network Compliance Monitoring

1. An Operator tampered with the VPC settings via cli, creating configuration inconsistencies.

2. Inconsistencies are automatically discovered.

3. A color-coded elliptic visual is indicative of such a condition.
