The Cisco Nexus 2224TP Fabric Extender (part number N2K-C2224TP) is designed to operate as an efficient, scalable solution for data centre environments. This expansion module offers a total of 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing high-speed network connectivity for a range of applications. Each of these ports supports copper cabling, connecting directly to servers and other end devices on the network. The module integrates seamlessly with the Cisco Nexus series of switches by employing a parent switch to manage the fabric extender's operations.
One key feature of the Cisco Nexus 2224TP is its ability to reduce cabling complexity while maintaining effective and reliable performance. By centralising the management of its 24 ports to a parent Cisco Nexus switch, the Cisco Nexus 2224TP functions as a virtual extension of that switch, thus simplifying network management and deployment. Additionally, this module supports Layer 2 forwarding, improving the scalability and flexibility of your overall data centre network without adding unnecessary layers of complexity.
Another advantage that makes this product stand out is its compact 1RU form factor, which is ideal for environments where space is at a premium. The module is designed for use in dense server racks, providing high port density in a slim profile. It also offers complete compatibility with a range of Cisco switches, allowing for easy integration within typical Cisco-based data centre topologies.
Plus, the Cisco Nexus 2224TP is equipped with advanced hardware-based features such as virtual port-channel for resiliency and bandwidth efficiency. This helps ensure that the network can handle significant traffic loads while remaining reliable and fault-tolerant, meeting the demands of enterprise-scale networking environments.
