Cisco Nexus 5010
The Cisco Nexus 5010 Switch is a 1RU, 10 Gigabit Ethernet/FCoE access-layer switch built to provide more than 500 Gigabits per second (Gbps) throughput with very low latency (Figure 2). It has:
• Twenty fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet/FCoE SFP+ ports
• One expansion module slot that can be configured to support up to 6 additional 10 Gigabit Ethernet/FCoE ports, up to 8 Fibre Channel ports, or a combination of both
• One serial console port and one out-of-band 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet management port
• 1+1 redundant, hot-pluggable, dual-sensing power supplies
• 1+1 redundant, hot-pluggable fan modules, providing highly reliable front-to-back cooling
Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Expansion Modules availible (not included):
The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series is equipped to support four expansion module options that can be used to increase the number of 10 Gigabit Ethernet/FCoE ports, connect to Fibre Channel SANs, or both. The Cisco Nexus 5010 supports a single module, with the Cisco Nexus 5020 supporting any combination of two modules from the following offerings (Figure 3):
• An Ethernet module that provides 6 10 Gigabit Ethernet/FCoE ports using an SFP+ interface.
• A Fibre Channel plus Ethernet module that provides 4 10 Gigabit Ethernet/FCoE ports using an SFP+ interface, and 4 ports of 1/2/4-Gbps native Fibre Channel connectivity using an SFP interface.
• A Fibre Channel module that provides 8 ports of 1/2/4-Gbps native Fibre Channel using an SFP interface for transparent connectivity with existing Fibre Channel networks.
• A Fibre Channel module that provides 6 ports of 1/2/4/8-Gbps native Fibre Channel using and SFP+ interface for transparent connectivity with existing Fibre Channel networks
