The Cisco Nexus 5548UP, part number N5548UP-4N2248TR, is a 1RU form factor, rack-mountable, managed switch featuring 32 ports. This switch supports flexible network configurations, offering Unified Ports (UP), which can handle both Ethernet, Fibre Channel (FC), and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) traffic. This flexibility allows organisations to use the switch in both storage and local area network environments. Included with this package are four Cisco Nexus 2248TP GE Fabric Extender units, providing additional scalability across larger network deployments.
Additionally, the package comes pre-configured with 20x 10G SFP (10G-SR) modules, enabling up to 10Gbps Ethernet connectivity per port with support for short-reach optical transceivers. The inclusion of these modules provides immediate high-speed networking capability, reducing the need for external hardware purchases. The switch supports multiple protocols such as IPv4 and IPv6 alongside a wide array of Layer 3 functions, ensuring broad compatibility across networks.
The Cisco Nexus 5548UP is built within the Cisco Nexus series known for low latency and high performance, making it a solid choice for high-demand enterprise applications and data centres. With redundant power supplies and hot-swappable fans, it lends greater reliability to mission-critical network environments. It also includes Quality of Service (QoS) features, priority flow control, and congestion management systems that help optimise data transfer.
This hardware switch is currently listed as end of life (EOL) but continues to be in operation across many organisations. It is considered a legacy product, meaning Cisco no longer manufacturers or provides updates; however, it still delivers reliable performance in existing installations.
