The Cisco Unified Port Expansion Module, part number N55-M16UP, is designed to expand port capacity for network switches. This module adds an additional 16 ports to your Cisco network switch, offering increased connectivity and scalability. Each of the 16 ports can be configured for either Ethernet or Fibre Channel, providing a highly flexible solution for data centre environments with multiple networking protocols.
For compatibility, the N55-M16UP is supported in a series of Cisco Nexus products, primarily designed for use within the Cisco Nexus 5500 platform. When installed, it enhances the switch’s capabilities by offering additional port bandwidth for network traffic optimisation. With its dual role support, the expansion module can run in both Ethernet and Fibre Channel modes, allowing for easier adaptation to varying network demands.
This module is designed for users who need a reliable solution to increase network performance without replacing existing hardware. It also supports hot-swappable installation, meaning less downtime is required, giving you the flexibility to upgrade your network infrastructure without affecting ongoing operations. The design prioritises ease of installation and integration, making it a straightforward addition to existing network configurations.
The N55-M16UP expansion module plays a critical role in ensuring enterprise-level network expansion without compromising on performance or flexibility.
