N55-M160L3-V2

The Cisco Nexus 5596 Layer 3 Expansion Module Version 2 (Part Number: N55-M160L3-V2) is a crucial component for data centres aiming to enhance the functionality of their Cisco Nexus 5596 series switches. This expansion module enables advanced Layer 3 routing features, including OSPF, BGP, and EIGRP, which are not natively supported on the base switch. By integrating this module, users can implement routing capabilities without requiring external routers, thus reducing hardware expenses and complexity.

Designed specifically for the Cisco Nexus 5596 Series switches, the N55-M160L3-V2 offers high-performance routing with support for up to 160 Gbps of Layer 3 forwarding. This guarantees efficient network traffic handling for both small and large-scale operations. Additionally, this module comes with 16 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet internal ports, making it a key element in ensuring robust connectivity and bandwidth scalability for intensive network environments.

Furthermore, the module is fully compatible with the Nexus 5596 chassis, and its installation does not require specialised tools, simplifying upgrades and expansions in existing setups. The Cisco N55-M160L3-V2 leverages the NX-OS software, giving users access to an intuitive, feature-rich operating system that can easily integrate into existing network management practices. The module also supports both IPv4 and IPv6 routing, providing flexibility for modern IP addressing schemes.

In summary, the N55-M160L3-V2 is an ideal solution for businesses that rely on the Cisco Nexus 5596 switch and need to enable powerful Layer 3 routing functionality. Its high throughput, extensive routing protocol support, and easy integration into existing setups make it a valuable addition to any network infrastructure.
