Product Review

The Cisco N6004-M12Q offers 12 QSFP+ ports with connectivity options of 40 GbE and 100 GbE, suitable for high-bandwidth applications in data center and enterprise networks. With a switching capacity of up to 4 Tbps and a forwarding rate of 12 Bpps, it supports demanding network environments, featuring VXLAN, QoS, and ACL for efficient traffic management. However, its 2 RU form factor and requirement for front-to-back and back-to-front cooling may necessitate careful consideration of rack space and airflow planning in dense deployments.

Overview

The Cisco N6004-M12Q is a high-performance networking switch designed for data center and enterprise network applications, emphasizing speed, efficiency, and scalability. This device is housed in a compact 2 RU form factor, allowing for efficient use of rack space while delivering powerful networking capabilities. At the heart of the N6004-M12Q's hardware specifications are its twelve line card slots and an equal number of QSFP+ ports, providing a versatile platform for high-density, high-speed networking configurations. These ports support both 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity options, catering to diverse network demands and facilitating high-speed data transfer across the network. The switch boasts a substantial switching capacity of up to 4 Terabits per second (Tbps), ensuring efficient handling of large volumes of data. This capability is complemented by a forwarding rate of 12 Billion packets per second (Bpps), which guarantees swift data processing and minimal latency in network operations. The architecture of the N6004-M12Q is designed to be non-blocking, ensuring that the network can handle concurrent data flows efficiently without bottlenecks. One of the key features of the N6004-M12Q is its support for advanced networking technologies, including VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) for network virtualization, Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, and Access Control Lists (ACL) for enhanced security measures. These features enable the switch to support complex, multi-tenant environments typical in modern data centers, offering flexibility and scalability in network design and operations. The Cisco N6004-M12Q is also designed with operational efficiency in mind. It supports hot-swappable fans and power supplies, minimizing downtime and facilitating easy maintenance. The device's cooling system is designed to support both front-to-back and back-to-front airflow, ensuring optimal thermal management regardless of rack configuration. This switch is compatible with Cisco's Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), allowing for streamlined network automation and management, further enhancing operational efficiency.
  • Supports VXLAN, QoS, and ACL for advanced networking capabilities.
  • Hot-swappable fans and power supplies for reduced downtime.
  • ACI compatibility for simplified network management.
The low latency feature of the N6004-M12Q ensures that the switch can handle time-sensitive data with minimal delay, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring real-time processing. This capability, combined with its high switching capacity, forwarding rate, and support for advanced networking technologies, makes the Cisco N6004-M12Q an ideal solution for data centers and enterprise networks looking for a scalable, high-performance networking platform.
