Overview
The Cisco N9K-SUP-A is a supervisor module designed to deliver high performance, reliability, and operational efficiency for the Nexus 9500 switches. At the heart of this module is a quad-core x86 processor running at 1.8 GHz, complemented by four threads. This processor architecture ensures efficient handling of network operations and management tasks. With 16 GB of DRAM, the module is well-equipped to manage complex network configurations and large routing tables, ensuring swift data processing and retrieval.
Storage needs are met with a 64 GB solid-state drive (SSD), providing ample space for the operating system, applications, and logs. This storage solution not only offers fast data access but also increases the system's reliability over traditional hard drives. Weighing in at 4.84 lbs, the N9K-SUP-A is designed for ease of handling and installation.
The module operates typically at 69 W, with a maximum power draw of 80 W, making it an energy-efficient choice for modern data centers. It boasts an impressive mean time between failures (MTBF) of 312,070 hours, underscoring its reliability and durability in demanding network environments. Hot-swap support ensures minimal downtime, allowing for maintenance or upgrades without interrupting network services.
Airflow is managed with a port-side intake design, ensuring optimal cooling for the hardware components. Connectivity options include two USB ports for external storage or devices, one serial port for console access, and one Ethernet port capable of 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, facilitating management and network connections.
- Deployment flexibility is a key feature, with support for both Cisco ACI and NX-OS environments, allowing for integration into a wide range of network architectures.
- External clock support enhances synchronization capabilities across network devices, a critical feature for time-sensitive applications.
- Designed specifically for use with Nexus 9500 switches, this module is integral to enhancing the switches' capabilities and performance.
