New N7K-F248XP-25 and new Fabric 2

[Luciano Vigano']

Ciao,

using Dynamic Configuration Tool I found 2 new hardware orderable for N7K:

A new module with FE 2 -> N7K-F248XP-25

A new Fabric -> Fabric 2 (for 7010 and 7018)

Reading the new "Cisco Product Quick Reference Guide" I found these 2 products in the list of N7K hw:

N7K-F248XP-25

Nexus 7000 - 48 Port 1G/10G Ethernet Module, SFP/SFP+

Cisco Nexus 7000 Series 48-Port 1 and 10 Gigabit F2-Series Ethernet Module

• Powered by the F2 Forwarding Engine, delivers Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding with 720 Mpps and up to 480

Gbps of data throughput

• Up to 336, 384, or 768 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports per Cisco Nexus 7000 9-, 10-, or18-slot switches,

respectively

• Interface flexibility through support for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet on a per-port basis in both SFP and

SFP+ media options

• LAN and SAN convergence through support for Fibre Channel over Ethernet and the IEEE’s Data Center

Bridging technologies

• Highly scalable 100+ Tbps Layer 2 networks with Cisco FabricPath

Fabric 2

N7K-C7010-FAB-2 Cisco Nexus 7000 10-Slot Chassis 110 Gbps/Slot Fabric Module (and Spare)

N7K-C7018-FAB-2 Cisco Nexus 7000 18-Slot Chassis 110 Gbps/Slot Fabric Module (and Spare)

The datasheet for the Fabric Module 2 on the Nexus 7009 is available on cisco.com

yes there are F2 and M2 modules coming. Your Cisco SE should communicate with you regarding these releases.

There should be a 6 port 40GE and 2 port 100GE linecards coming soon.
