Overview

The Cisco N2K-C2248TF-E is a Fabric Extender designed to streamline the management and operation of data center networks. This device is part of Cisco's Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders, acting as a remote line card for Nexus 5000, 6000, 7000, and 9000 Series switches. It extends the network fabric to support a scalable server access layer, reducing complexity and enhancing the efficiency of network operations. Featuring 48 Fabric Extender Host Interfaces that support 100/1000Base-T, the N2K-C2248TF-E enables versatile connectivity options for a wide range of network demands. This flexibility allows for seamless integration with existing infrastructure, making it an ideal solution for data centers looking to expand their network capabilities without a complete overhaul. The device is equipped with four 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports, enhancing its capacity to manage high-bandwidth traffic efficiently. These uplinks provide the necessary throughput for data-intensive applications, ensuring reliable and fast communication between the Fabric Extender and the parent Nexus switch. Power redundancy is a key feature of the N2K-C2248TF-E, with two power supply units included to ensure continuous operation. This redundancy minimizes downtime, crucial for maintaining 24/7 data center operations. Additionally, the single fan design simplifies the cooling mechanism while ensuring adequate temperature regulation for the hardware. With a buffer memory of 32 MB, the Cisco N2K-C2248TF-E is adept at handling the burstiness of traffic, ensuring smooth data flow even under heavy loads. This buffer capacity plays a crucial role in maintaining the performance and reliability of the network.
  • 48 100/1000Base-T Fabric Extender Host Interfaces for versatile connectivity.
  • Four 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports for high-capacity uplinks.
  • Dual power supplies and a single fan for redundancy and efficient cooling.
This Fabric Extender is designed for environments where high density, scalability, and continuous operation are critical. Its integration with Cisco Nexus switches allows for a unified approach to network management, simplifying tasks such as configuration, diagnostics, and monitoring. The Cisco N2K-C2248TF-E provides a cost-effective solution for expanding network capacity while maintaining the high standards of performance and reliability expected in modern data centers.
