Solved: Nexus 5500 Questions

visitor68 · ‎05-22-2011

Hello -

Are the Nexus 5548P, 5548UP and 5596UP switches shipping?

Also, do they offer Fabric Path?

Thanks

Ex,

Yes, all three Nexus products are available for order as of today.

As for Fabric Path, it's currently only supported on the Nexus 7K, with the F1 Line cards running NXOS 5.1 or later. Fabric Path will be available on the 5548/5596 running 5.1(3)N1(1) codename "Fairhaven" release of NXOS. Currenlty targeting mid-late 2011.

FYI - Fabric Path will require a separate license.

Regards,

Robert

Seperate license for Fabricpath...that sucks. Thanks a lot for the info, good to know.
