The Cisco N7K-SUP2= (Nexus 7000 Series Supervisor 2 Module) serves as the core control processor within Nexus 7000 Series network switches. It plays a critical role in ensuring stable and high-performance network management. Designed to provide optimal operation functionality, the module is intended for enterprise data centres and service provider deployments.
The module has a dedicated slot within the Nexus chassis to handle control plane services. Its functions include the management of device configurations, system operations, and software protocols. A key feature of the Nexus 7000 Series Supervisor 2 Module is its high availability and processing power delivered by the dual-core processor. This provides up to two concurrent management transport options, which allows for more flexible network setup and improved redundancy.
In terms of memory, the Supervisor 2 Module integrates a substantial 16 GB of DRAM with scalable options available for intensive applications. Additionally, there's internal 2 GB compact flash memory, which stores critical processes like the running configuration or other vital system states. The compact flash memory also serves to improve the responsiveness of the module during system reboots or upgrades.
The Nexus 7000 Series Supervisor 2 Module is compatible with advanced switching technologies like Layer 2/3 forwarding architecture, ensuring it fits well into complex network hierarchies. Users also benefit from enhanced virtualisation features thanks to Virtual Device Context (VDC) technology, allowing multiple virtual devices to operate on a single physical unit. Other key capabilities include IPv6 routing support and extensive port channel technology for load balancing and efficient bandwidth consumption.
With such integrated features, this module is essential for IT managers looking for high-speed throughput, reliability, and comprehensive administrative control over network operations.
