Product Review

The Cisco N7K-SUP2 Supervisor Engine offers a solid hardware base for network operations, featuring a 2.13 GHz quad-core Xeon processor and 8 GB of external memory, enhancing its capability to handle complex tasks. However, it lacks a connectivity management processor, which could limit some advanced management options. Additionally, the power consumption ranges significantly from 109 W to 300 W, indicating potential efficiency concerns under high-performance demands.

Overview

The Cisco N7K-SUP2 is a key component in the Nexus 7000 series, designed to provide efficient control and management of network infrastructures. At the heart of the N7K-SUP2 is a Xeon processor featuring a quad-core configuration with a processing speed of 2.13 GHz. This processor supports a 64-bit kernel, ensuring high performance and reliability for complex networking tasks. The device runs on Cisco NX-OS Software Release 6.1, offering a comprehensive suite of features for optimal network operation. With an external memory of 8 GB accessible via USB Flash, the N7K-SUP2 is equipped to handle extensive data operations and configurations. It also features two external USB memory slots for additional removable storage, providing flexibility in managing software and data storage. Despite its advanced capabilities, the supervisor engine maintains a typical power consumption of 109 W, with a maximum power draw of 300 W, balancing performance with energy efficiency. Physically, the N7K-SUP2 measures 1.18 inches in height, 15.35 inches in width, and 21.85 inches in depth, with a weight of 10.37 lbs. This compact design allows for efficient use of rack space while ensuring enough room for optimal airflow and cooling. Connectivity options on the N7K-SUP2 include a Supervisor Management Port, Console Serial Port, Auxiliary Serial Port, and three USB Ports.
