The 5512-X, 5515-X, 5525-X, 5545-X and 5555-X can have an extra interface card added. [13] The 5585-X has options for SSP. SSP stands for security services processor. [14] These range in processing power by a factor of 10, from SSP-10 SSP-20, SSP-40 and SSP-60. The ASA 5585-X has a slot for an I/O module.
The Cisco Nexus series switches are modular and fixed port network switches designed for the data center. Cisco Systems introduced the Nexus Series of switches on January 28, 2008. The first chassis in the Nexus 7000 family is a 10-slot chassis with two supervisor engine slots and eight I/O module slots at the front, as well as five crossbar ...
This product line became available in 2007 with software release 4.0 [4] [5] and the device was demonstrated in March at the 'Spring VoiceCon 2007'. [6] In March 2007 the product started to ship, and then in May 2007 a detailed evaluation between this switch and two competitor's switches identified that this switch had a better performance and better total cost of ownership.
The Cisco Supervisor Engine serves as the management card for modular Cisco switches that can also, in some cases, act as forwarding/routing element. [1]Over time, the Supervisor Engine has undergone multiple iterations and was different for different modular switches in Cisco Portfolio (Catalyst 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500, 6000, 6500, 9400, 9600 and Nexus switches).
The inside of a Cisco 1900-series switch. Catalyst is the brand for a variety of network switches, wireless controllers, and wireless access points sold by Cisco Systems.While commonly associated with Ethernet switches, a number of different types of network interfaces have been available throughout the history of the brand.
NX-OS is a network operating system for the Nexus-series Ethernet switches and MDS-series Fibre Channel storage area network switches made by Cisco Systems. [1] It evolved from the Cisco operating system SAN-OS, originally developed for its MDS switches. Cisco is responsible for its development and maintenance. [1]
Modular switches also support additional line cards which can provide new functions to the switch that would previously have been unavailable, such as a firewall. [4] An example of a modular computer network switch is the Cisco Catalyst 6500 , which can be configured with up to 13 slots, and supports connections from RJ45 to QSFP+.
Similar to the rack-switches PCT7000 and PCT8024 series the switch offers an out-of-band Fast Ethernet port for management as well as a serial console connection, required for initial configuration. [18] The switch is built around the Broadcom Trident+ ASIC: the same ASIC as can be found in Cisco Nexus 5000 switches or Force10 models.
