N5K-C5672UP-16G - Cisco Nexus 5000 Switch

The Cisco Nexus 5672UP-16G Switch (Figure 3) is a 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40-Gbps on uplink and network-facing ports) switch offering wire-speed performance for up to seventy-two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports (using QSFP breakout cables). The Cisco Nexus 5672UP-16G Switches are Layer 2 and 3 nonblocking 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE-capable switches with up to 1.44 Tbps of internal bandwidth.The Cisco Nexus 5672UP-16G offers 48 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, of which the first 24 ports are capable of doing 1/10G Ethernet and the last 24 ports (highlighted in orange on the chassis for easy identification) are unified ports that support 16-, 8-, 4-, and 2-Gbps Fibre Channel. All 48 fixed ports support classical Ethernet and FCoE.The 24 unified ports provide 16-, 8-. 4-, and 2-Gbps Fibre Channel as well as 10 Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE connectivity options. The Cisco Nexus 5672UP-16G also offers 6 ports of 40 Gbps using QSFP transceivers for Ethernet and FCoE support. The Cisco Nexus 5672UP-16G has three fan modules and two power supplies and supports VXLAN in bridging and routing modes on all ports at line rate, enabling the migration of virtual machines between servers across Layer 3 networks. The switch also offers up to 128 buffer-to-buffer credits per port, helping provide SAN extension of up to 16 kilometers at 16-Gbps Fibre Channel speed assuming full Fibre Channel frame size of 2122 bytes.
