Cisco Nexus 7000 Ethernet Module - 32-Port 10 Gigabit with XL Option - Switch - 32 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ - plug-in module (N7K-M132XP-12L)

The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series 32-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module with XL Option is a highly scalable high-performance module designed for mission-critical Ethernet networks. The module uses the M1-XL forwarding engine that features a larger Forwarding Information Base (FIB). The module also supports Small Form Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) transceivers, allowing deployment flexibility in various types of networking environments.

The Cisco Nexus 7000 series switches comprise a modular data center - class product line designed for highly scalable 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks with a fabric architecture that scales beyond 15 terabits per second (Tbps), providing support for future 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Designed to meet the requirements of the mission-critical network environments, it delivers continuous system operation and virtualized pervasive services. The Cisco Nexus 7000 series is based on a proven operating system, with enhanced features to deliver real-time system upgrades with exceptional manageability and serviceability. Its innovative unified fabric design is purpose - built to support consolidation of IP, storage, and interprocess communication (IPC) networks on a single Ethernet fabric.

The Cisco Nexus 7000 32-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module with XL Option has a number of key features that are designed to enable flexible deployment and support for environments requiring the high performance environments and rich features. With a scalable feature license, the module can operate in the enhanced XL mode, which enables utilization of the full forwarding table, essential for large-scale deployments such as Internet peering environments. This larger FIB table can support multiple copies of the full Internet route table for use in Internet-facing deployments with Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) and virtual device context (VDC) support. The ability makes this module extremely flexible for many types of networking environments, without requiring a hardware module change or upgrade, and delivers a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). The fabric interface on the 32-port module delivers 80Gbps of bandwidth in each direction.
