The Cisco Nexus 2248TP GE Fabric Extender for N5K/N2K bundle, part number N2K-C2248TP-BUN, is an expansion module designed to enhance connectivity and scalability within data centres. This module provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, offering a significant boost to network infrastructure, particularly for high-density environments. The fabric extender is tailored to work seamlessly with Cisco's Nexus 5000 and 2000 series switches, functioning as a remote line card that simplifies the physical network design by consolidating connections. This allows for centralised management using the parent switches, reducing complexity and making the system more efficient to operate.
Each of the 48 downlink Gigabit Ethernet ports is designed for efficient access layer connectivity, supporting large-scale server environments. These ports can handle 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, providing flexibility for a wide range of devices requiring network access within a structure. Additionally, the module features up to 4 uplink 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, ensuring high-speed connections between the fabric extender and the connected Nexus switches, thereby improving the overall throughput and reducing potential bottlenecks across the network.
The unit itself is equipped with a compact 1RU form factor, making it an ideal space-saving solution for data centres where rack space is often at a premium. The Cisco Nexus 2248TP also includes hot-swappable components, allowing for easier maintenance and upgrades while minimizing system downtime. Given its role in extending the Nexus capabilities, this module is particularly suited for virtualisation environments and large-scale enterprise networks that need efficient, scalable, and manageable networking solutions.
