Cisco Nexus31108TCV Dubai

The Cisco Nexus31108TCV Dubai Switch Platform represents the latest addition to the widely deployed lineup in the industry. It features 48 x 10GBASE-T ports and 6 x QSFP28 ports, with all QSFP ports capable of operating at 40 or 100 Gbps. This platform offers high-density, low-power-consumption, and low-latency fixed-configuration data center switches with line-rate Layer 2 and 3 features. These features support a variety of applications, including enterprise applications, service provider hosting, High-Performance Computing (HPC), and cloud computing environments. The Cisco Nexus31108TCV Dubai supports a broad range of port speeds, providing flexible combinations of 1/10/40/100-Gbps connectivity. It enhances port density and scalability within compact 1-Rack-Unit (1RU) form factors.

Running on the industry-leading Cisco NX-OS Software operating system, the Cisco Nexus31108TCV Dubai platform ensures continuous availability, setting the standard for mission-critical data center environments. Designed for a programmable fabric, it offers flexibility, mobility, and scalability for service providers, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers, and cloud providers. Additionally, it caters to programmable networks, automating configuration and management for customers embracing the DevOps operating model and tool sets. Ideal for cost-effective, power-efficient, line-rate Layer 2 and 3 Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches, these switches support both forward and reverse airflow schemes (port-side exhaust and port-side intake) with AC and DC power inputs.

Features

 High performance and scalability

  • The Cisco Nexus31108TCV Dubai platform provides wire-rate Layer 2 and 3 switching of up to 2.56 Terabits per second (Tbps) and up to 1.4 billion packets per second (bpps) on all ports.
  • The Cisco Nexus31108TCV Dubai platform delivers ultra-low nominal latency (approximately 650 nanoseconds [ns]), which allows customers to implement high performance infrastructure for High-Frequency-Trading (HFT) workloads.

Line-rate Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) routing

  • VXLAN is designed to provide the same Ethernet Layer 2 network services as VLAN does today, but with greater extensibility and flexibility.
  • The Cisco Nexus31108TCV Dubai platform offers native line-rate VXLAN routing.
  • The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) control plane provides scalable multitenancy and host mobility (for more information, refer to the document “VXLAN Network with MP-BGP EVPN Control Plane.

Enhanced buffer for applications

  • The Cisco Nexus31108TCV Dubai platform offers 16 MB of shared buffer space. In today’s data center, application teams require the network to be flexible and capable of handling the rapid growth of applications. The Cisco Nexus 3100-V platform provides deep shared buffers (16 MB) to absorb bursts of traffic and a wide variety of applications, such as multicast feeds, voice traffic, video traffic, and healthcare applications.
  • These deep buffers also provide flexibility to expand your network as your needs change. The shared buffers are also instrumental in situations in which one or more servers are consuming most of the bandwidth in highly oversubscribed environments.

Higher ingress Access Control List (ACL) entries

  • The Cisco Nexus31108TCV Dubai switch platform offer 16,000 ACL entries and 1000 egress ACL entries.
  • The increased number of ingress ACL entries can be especially useful in today’s data centers, particularly in virtualized environments.

High availability

  • Virtual-Port-Channel (vPC) technology provides Layer 2 multipathing through the elimination of Spanning Tree Protocol. It also enables fully utilized bisectional bandwidth and simplified Layer 2 logical topologies without the need to change the existing management and deployment models.
  • The 64-way Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) routing enables the use of Layer 3 fat-tree designs and allows organizations to prevent network bottlenecks, increase resiliency, and add capacity with little network disruption.
  • Advanced reboot capabilities are included through In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) and Fast Reboot capabilities.
  • Power-Supply Units (PSUs) and fans are hot swappable.

Purpose-built on the NX-OS operating system with comprehensive, proven innovations

  • Power-on Auto Provisioning (POAP) enables touchless bootup and configuration of the switch, drastically reducing provisioning time.
  • Cisco Embedded Event Manager (EEM) and Python scripting enable automation and remote operations in the data center.
  • Advanced buffer monitoring reports real-time buffer use per port and per queue, which allows organizations to monitor traffic bursts and application traffic patterns.
  • Ethanalyzer is a built-in packet analyzer for monitoring and troubleshooting control-plane traffic and is based on the popular Wireshark open-source network protocol analyzer.
  • Precision Time Protocol (PTP; IEEE 1588) provides accurate clock synchronization and improved data correlation with network captures and system events.
  • Complete Layer 3 unicast and multicast routing protocol suites are supported, including Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Routing Information Protocol Version 2 (RIPv2), Protocol-Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM), Source-Specific Multicast (SSM), and Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP).
