The Cisco N7K-M206FQ-23L module is designed to enhance the capabilities of networks through high-density, high-performance Ethernet connectivity. This module is compatible with the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches, offering advanced features and reliability for critical data center operations. It provides six ports of 40 Gigabit Ethernet, catering to environments that demand high bandwidth and throughput. Key hardware specifications include support for up to 128K MAC entries, allowing for a vast number of devices to be connected without compromising network efficiency. The module can handle up to 1 million IPv4 routes and up to 350K IPv6 routes, facilitating extensive network scalability and future-proofing for the adoption of IPv6 addresses. Additionally, it supports 512K NetFlow entries for enhanced network traffic monitoring and 128K ACL entries to ensure secure access control and traffic filtration. The module is engineered for performance with 2 GB of DRAM memory, ensuring smooth operation even under heavy load. It supports jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes, reducing the number of frames needed for data transmission and improving network efficiency. The high capacity for simultaneous VLANs (4096) and bridge domains (16,384) enables complex network segmentation and virtualization for improved security and traffic management.

• Software compatibility is ensured with Cisco NX-OS Software Release 6.1 or later, providing access to the latest features and updates.
• The module supports programming interfaces including XML, Scriptable CLI, and Cisco DCNM GUI, offering flexibility in network management and automation.
• It incorporates DWRR and SRR scheduling mechanisms to prioritize and manage network traffic effectively.

Designed for easy maintenance, it supports online insertion and removal, allowing for upgrades and replacements without disrupting network operations. The module occupies one slot within the chassis, with dimensions of 1.733 x 15.3 x 21.9 inches and a weight of 16.5 lbs. It operates within a typical power consumption of 720 W and can go up to a maximum of 795 W, making it energy efficient relative to its performance output. The operational temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C and the operational humidity range of 5% to 90% noncondensing ensure reliability under various environmental conditions. For storage, it can withstand temperatures from -40 °C to 70 °C and a humidity range of 5% to 90% noncondensing, ensuring the module's longevity and durability over time. In summary, the Cisco N7K-M206FQ-23L module is an integral component for enterprises and data centers looking to scale their network infrastructure. With its high-capacity Ethernet ports, extensive route and entry support, and compatibility with advanced Cisco software and programming interfaces, it stands out as a key solution for enhancing network performance, security, and manageability.
