The Cisco Nexus 5596UP is a high-performance, managed switch, designed for data centres and enterprise environments. This network switch features a robust set of capabilities that make it ideal for handling intensive workloads through a combination of 64 ports and flexible connectivity options. It provides a mix of Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) capabilities, catering to both LAN and SAN environments within a single platform.
The device is rack-mountable, ensuring easy integration into existing server racks. With a compact form factor but comprehensive functionality, the Cisco Nexus 5596UP delivers high density and low latency, built for highly scalable and resilient network infrastructures. An additional feature of this switch is the package inclusion of 8x Cisco Nexus 2248TP GE Fabric Extender units. These fabric extenders enable the ease of connecting 1GbE or 10GbE devices, thereby simplifying network management by reducing the number of devices to configure and monitor, while also extending the capability of the main switch itself.
Each port on this managed switch can be configured to support a range of protocols, ensuring interoperability across various systems. The switch’s combination of Ethernet, Fibre Channel, FCoE, and unified ports help administrators tailor its performance depending on the various needs of their network environment. It also supports advanced features such as Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing, multicast routing, and a comprehensive suite for quality of service (QoS), making traffic management easier in complex systems.
