Description

Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Chassis Switch Kenya

The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Kenya is a 6-slot switch with six front-accessible module slots with front-to-back airflow and an integrated cable management system. The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Kenya is the latest extension to the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series modular switches. With more than 83 Terabits per second (Tbps) of overall switching capacity, the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Kenya delivers the highest-capacity 10, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports in the industry, with up to 768 native 10-Gbps ports, 384 40-Gbps ports, or 192 100-Gbps ports. This high system capacity is designed to meet the scalability requirements of the largest cloud environments. The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Kenya have operational and feature consistency with the existing Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches, using common system architecture, the same Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) technology, and the same proven Cisco NX-OS Software releases.

The fan trays in the switches have variable speed fans that adjust to compensate for changing thermal characteristics and use less power at typical operating conditions. Standard fan trays are included as part of the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Kenya and also support optional generation 2 fan trays. All fan trays provide NEBS compliance in combination with the rest of the components of the chassis for specific system configurations. Additionally, the generation 2 fan trays provide NEBS Level-3 acoustic compliance and short term operation at 55C for the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Kenya chassis if configured with the Nexus 7700 M3 100G I/O modules or future I/O modules. Consolidation of multiple switches to Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Kenya is made possible by the high density of ports on the switches combined with high-performance device virtualization, comprehensive reliability, and availability features. This consolidation capability provides multiple benefits such as reduced power, cooling, and space requirements to save on costs.

Features

The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Kenya Switch comes with up to four I/O module slots, supports up to 192 x 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 96 x 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and 48 x 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports, meeting the demands of small to medium data center deployments in a compact 9 Rack Units (RU) footprint.
The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Kenya has two dedicated half-slot supervisors to provide full redundancy, stateful supervisor switchover, and hitless In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) capabilities.
The Cisco Nexus 7706 has six fabric module slots to provide simultaneously active fabric channels to each of the I/O and supervisor modules. Through the parallel forwarding fabric architecture, the Cisco Nexus 7706 can achieve 10.5 Tbps of forwarding capacity or more.
Front-to-back airflow helps ensure that the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Kenya addresses the requirement for hot-aisle and cold-aisle deployments to help provide efficient cooling.
The system uses three redundant fan trays for cooling. Each fan tray is composed of independent variable-speed fans that automatically adjust to the ambient temperature, helping reduce power consumption in well-managed facilities while helping enable optimum operation of the switch. The system also allows hot swapping of fan trays without negatively affecting the system.
The system supports an optional door and air filter to help ensure clean airflow through the system. The addition of the air filter satisfies Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS) requirements.
The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Kenya Switch can have up to four 3- or 3.5-(kW) power supplies. The smaller power supply configuration provides more flexibility and greater control in power provisioning. The four power supply bays are designed for future growth.
I/O modules, supervisor modules, and power supplies are accessible from the front, and fabric modules and fan trays are accessible from the back of the chassis.

Cable Management System

An integrated cable management system, custom designed for the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Kenya, supports the cabling requirements of a fully configured system at either or both sides of the switch, providing outstanding flexibility. All system components can easily be removed with the cabling in place, providing ease of maintenance with no disruption.

Easy Operations

A series of LEDs at the top of the chassis (except in case of the Cisco Nexus 7700 2-slot chassis provides a clear summary of the status of the major system components, alerting operators to the need to conduct further investigation. These LEDs report the power supply, fan, fabric, supervisor, and I/O module status.

Energy-Efficient Design

The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Kenya use 3.5-kW and 3-kW power supplies that are 96 and 90 percent efficient or greater, so less power is dissipated as heat, and more power is available for the system to use than with typical power supplies. These high-efficiency power supplies allow smaller power configuration and provide flexible power provisioning.
