Overview
The Cisco N9K-M12PQ module is designed to enhance the capabilities and performance of Cisco Nexus 9300 switches. This module offers a straightforward way to expand network capacity while maintaining high-speed connectivity and reliability. With its twelve ports, this module is an ideal solution for environments requiring high bandwidth and efficient data handling capabilities.
Each of the twelve ports on the N9K-M12PQ supports QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) connections, which are essential for achieving the high data transfer rates necessary in modern networking environments. The QSFP ports allow for a versatile range of connections, supporting not just data center interconnects but also high-speed storage and server connections, making this module a flexible choice for a variety of networking needs.
The port speed of 40 Gbps ensures that each connection can handle substantial data throughput, making the module particularly suited for applications that involve intensive data transfer or real-time high-definition video streaming. This high port speed is critical for maintaining efficient operations in data centers and for supporting the backbone of enterprise networks where latency and bandwidth limitations can significantly affect performance and reliability.
- For Use With Cisco Nexus 9300 switches
- 12 QSFP ports for high-density, high-speed networking
- Each port supports 40 Gbps for high bandwidth applications
Compatibility with Cisco Nexus 9300 switches means this module integrates seamlessly into existing network infrastructures, providing an easy upgrade path for networks requiring additional capacity or looking to improve performance. This integration is crucial for network administrators seeking to maintain a cohesive and efficient networking environment without the need for extensive configuration changes or system overhauls.
The N9K-M12PQ module not only offers a significant upgrade in terms of data throughput and capacity but also supports a range of advanced networking features. These include high-performance data center interconnect capabilities, support for virtual extensible LAN (VXLAN) for network virtualization, and enhanced security features to protect against evolving threats. The combination of these features makes the module a comprehensive solution for expanding and upgrading Cisco Nexus 9300 series switches.
In summary, the Cisco N9K-M12PQ is a powerful addition to the Cisco Nexus 9300 series, offering twelve high-speed QSFP ports with 40 Gbps capacity each. Its compatibility with Cisco Nexus 9300 switches ensures that it can be easily integrated into existing network setups, providing an effective way to increase network capacity, improve performance, and support advanced networking features for modern data center and enterprise environments.
