Information
The Cisco N5596UP-6N2248TR is a networking switch solution offered by Cisco Systems. It consists of two main components:
1. Cisco Nexus 5596UP Switch (N5596UP): This is a high-performance, low-latency, and feature-rich switch designed for data center environments. It provides 96 fixed 10-Gigabit Ethernet/FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) ports and supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionalities. The N5596UP switch offers high availability and scalability features, making it suitable for demanding enterprise applications.
2. Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E Fabric Extender (N2248TP-E): This is a fabric extender that connects to the N5596UP switch using a unified fabric. It provides 48 100/1000BASE-T host-facing ports and four 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports. The N2248TP-E extends the switching capabilities of the N5596UP switch to the server racks, allowing for simplified management and increased flexibility.
Together, the Cisco N5596UP-6N2248TR solution combines the high-performance switching capabilities of the N5596UP switch with the fabric extender functionality of the N2248TP-E, providing a scalable and efficient networking solution for data center environments.
