subject: Cisco Ethernet Switch Extended 40/100g Function [print this page] Cisco Catalyst 6500 switch series new 40G Ethernet Nexus 7000 switch increases the 40/100G Ethernet aggregation in the core 40G, and data center, Internet service providers.
Cisco also introduced two fixed configuration switches, specifically for campus aggregation and top-of-rack data center deployment, high-density 10G Ethernet.
Cisco for its Catalyst 6500,4500 and ASR 1000 product line increased network virtualization capabilities to traditional infrastructure into the virtual world, as well as for scalable virtual services new data center equipment.
Cisco Nexus 7000 provides two modules: two-port 100G Ethernet card, providing up to 32 non-blocking 100G Ethernet ports for the switch; well as two-port 40G Ethernet module can switch provides up to 96non-blocking 40G Ethernet ports.
In major switch vendors, only Brocade 100G Ethernet-MLX Series of switching routers in its core platform. Some of the other vendors have started to offer the 40G the immoilized modules and Uplink port (specifically for ports connected to other switches).
This technology is not yet showing the irresistible force of momentum.
"We see very few 40/100G Ethernet deployment," Enterprise Strategy Group analyst Jon Oltsik said, "Cisco is the first batch of one of the large manufacturers to promote the technology, which will bring to market good Cisco has been regarded as a high quality supplier.
Cisco also introduced the long awaited Nexus 3064-X, the main products for financial services for low-latency environment provides and 48 1/10G Ethernet ports and four 40G links.
Cisco Nexus 1000V virtual switch can support (Cisco launched last summer) virtual scalable LAN (Virtual ExtensibleLocal Area Network, or VXLAN) workload scalability, the switch is usually located in the blade servers, such as the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UnifiedComputing System).
Cisco's new Nexus 1010 Virtual Services Appliance also increased VXLAN the VXLAN version is called the Nexus 1010-X is a virtual environment (such as a data center and cloud services) configured and extended network service dedicated hardware platform.
For campus environment and Catalyst series, Cisco launched its flagshio Catalyst 6500 switch Catalyst 6900 Series 40G Ethernet interface Fiber transceivers , the module allows the switch to support up to 44 40G ports.
Cisco also introduced the Catalyst 4500-X, which is specifically for the limited space of the campus network of fixed aggregation switches, which support 40 10G Ethernet ports, as well as through Cisco's virtual switching system redundancy technology exchange capacity of 1.6 Tbps. The product also supports Medianet video and NetFlow analysis services.

Finally, its campus switches and routers, Cisco has launched new software to simplify network virtualization. Cisco Easy Virtual Network (EVN) for the Catalyst 6500 and 4500 switches, and ASR 1000 edge router, and allows operators to more easily create separate logical network in a single physical infrastructure.
Its Nexus NX-OS operating system in the data center, Cisco added a lot of features, such as PowerOn Auto-Provisioning and Python scripting from the definition of network behavior based on the occurrence of the event. These features can be found in the Nexus 3000 Series, these features will also appear in the Nexus 2000 and 5000 switches.
