The Cisco Nexus 2224TP Fabric Extender, part number N2K-C2224TP-1GE, is a high-performance expansion module designed specifically to enhance data centre operations. The module is designed to extend the capabilities of a parent switch, providing increased port density and operational efficiency without overloading the core switching capacity.
The unit features 24 100/1000 Mbps (1GE) downlink ports based on Gigabit Ethernet, allowing it to connect to a wide array of network devices at varying bandwidths. These ports offer flexible wiring options for connecting local systems like servers or storage arrays back to the Nexus parent switch or switch fabric. In addition to the downlink ports, the device is equipped with 2 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports. These 10 GbE uplink ports support high-throughput communication back to the parent switch, ensuring that network traffic flows seamlessly between various sections of your data centre.
Physically, the Cisco Nexus 2224TP Fabric Extender is built in a compact 1U form factor, making it easy to integrate into existing rack setups. Its modular expansion capabilities allow for streamlined management of connected racks, all of which are centrally controlled from the parent switch. This method simplifies the deployment and management of large numbers of individual network connections, optimising control over a geographically distributed set of resources.
In terms of power and cooling, the unit is equipped with dual-redundant power supplies and front-to-back airflow, which is important for data centre environments with special attention paid to airflow management and energy efficiency. These features help guarantee system resilience and continuous operation, even in the event of a power supply failure.
