The Cisco Nexus 2300 platform retains key features of the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series, offering unified management, vPC, vPC+, Enhanced vPC, and LAN/SAN convergence via FCoE. With true 40 Gigabit Ethernet support, enhanced buffers for traffic spikes, and unified port capability (starting 7.3 release on 2348UPQ with 5600 only), it suits highly virtualized, automated, and cloud environments.
The 1-Rack-Unit (1RU) Cisco Nexus 2300 fabric extenders are energy-efficient, providing front-to-back or back-to-front airflow options. They support 100 Mbps Ethernet, 1/10/40 Gbps Ethernet, Fibre Channel (starting 7.3 release on 2348UPQ with 5600 only), and FCoE, making them ideal for traditional data centers and large-scale virtualized cloud deployments.
The Nexus N2K-C2348TQ-E is a cost-effective platform ideal for transitioning to 10GBASE-T. It accommodates high-density 100 Megabit Ethernet and 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet setups, featuring 48 x 100MBASE-T and 1/10GBASE-T Host Interface (HIF) ports. Additionally, it includes up to six 40-Gbps uplink ports to the parent switch, supporting BiDi optics for straightforward connectivity with existing cable infrastructure, thereby reducing power and solution costs. Furthermore, the Cisco Nexus 2348TQ-E is compatible with FCoE.
