Nexus 7K 10G Port Density

[visitor68]

How many 10G ports total can I have with a nexus 7010? 7018?

Of those 10G ports, how many on the nexus 7010 are linerate? What about linerate on 7018?

Thanks

Hi,

Depending upon the line card youa re using you can have upto 384 line-rate 10G ports on Nexus7010 and 768 line-rate 10G ports on 7018 chassis.

You can achieve the above numbers with F2 series line cards and 5x Fabric-2 in the above chassis.

With M1 and F1 cards, you can have 10G line-rate ports but not upto the above number.

With new M2 line card (24 port 10G ) getting release this month, you can have upto 192 line-rate 10G ports on 7010 and 384 on 7018 with full L3 services and XL FIB table size.

Have a look at the datasheet below :

Hope this helps.
