Description

Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai

The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai is a six-slot switch featuring six front-accessible module slots with front-to-back airflow and an integrated cable management system. It represents the latest addition to the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series modular switches. Boasting over 83 Terabits per second (Tbps) of overall switching capacity, the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai sets industry benchmarks for the highest-capacity 10, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports. It supports up to 768 native 10-Gbps ports, 384 40-Gbps ports, or 192 100-Gbps ports, catering to the scalability needs of even the largest cloud environments.

Maintaining operational and feature consistency with existing Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches, the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai shares a common system architecture, utilizes the same Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) technology, and runs on proven Cisco NX-OS Software releases.

The switch’s fan trays are equipped with variable-speed fans that automatically adjust to changing thermal characteristics, optimizing power usage under typical operating conditions. Standard fan trays are included with the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai and support optional generation 2 fan trays. All fan trays, in conjunction with other chassis components, ensure NEBS compliance for specific system configurations. Moreover, generation 2 fan trays offer NEBS Level-3 acoustic compliance and short-term operation at 55°C when configured with the Nexus 7700 M3 100G I/O modules or future I/O modules.

The high port density, combined with advanced device virtualization, comprehensive reliability, and availability features, enables the consolidation of multiple switches into the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai. This consolidation not only enhances operational efficiency but also brings about cost savings by reducing power, cooling, and space requirements.

Features

The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai Switch comes with up to four I/O module slots, supports up to 192 x 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 96 x 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and 48 x 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports, meeting the demands of small to medium data center deployments in a compact 9 Rack Units (RU) footprint.
The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai has two dedicated half-slot supervisors to provide full redundancy, stateful supervisor switchover, and hitless In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) capabilities.
The Cisco Nexus 7706 has six fabric module slots to provide simultaneously active fabric channels to each of the I/O and supervisor modules. Through the parallel forwarding fabric architecture, the Cisco Nexus 7706 can achieve 10.5 Tbps of forwarding capacity or more.
Front-to-back airflow helps ensure that the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai addresses the requirement for hot-aisle and cold-aisle deployments to help provide efficient cooling.
The system uses three redundant fan trays for cooling. Each fan tray is composed of independent variable-speed fans that automatically adjust to the ambient temperature, helping reduce power consumption in well-managed facilities while helping enable optimum operation of the switch. The system also allows hot swapping of fan trays without negatively affecting the system.
The system supports an optional door and air filter to help ensure clean airflow through the system. The addition of the air filter satisfies Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS) requirements.
The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai Switch can have up to four 3- or 3.5-(kW) power supplies. The smaller power supply configuration provides more flexibility and greater control in power provisioning. The four power supply bays are designed for future growth.
I/O modules, supervisor modules, and power supplies are accessible from the front, and fabric modules and fan trays are accessible from the back of the chassis.

Cable Management System

An integrated cable management system, custom designed for the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai, supports the cabling requirements of a fully configured system at either or both sides of the switch, providing outstanding flexibility. All system components can easily be removed with the cabling in place, providing ease of maintenance with no disruption.

Easy Operations

A series of LEDs at the top of the chassis (except in case of the Cisco Nexus 7700 2-slot chassis provides a clear summary of the status of the major system components, alerting operators to the need to conduct further investigation. These LEDs report the power supply, fan, fabric, supervisor, and I/O module status.

Energy-Efficient Design

The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai use 3.5-kW and 3-kW power supplies that are 96 and 90 percent efficient or greater, so less power is dissipated as heat, and more power is available for the system to use than with typical power supplies. These high-efficiency power supplies allow smaller power configuration and provide flexible power provisioning.
