features

The Cisco Nexus 5596UP switch is a top-of-rack, 10-Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre channel over Ethernet (FCoE) switch offering up to 1920 Gigabit throughput and up to 96 ports. The switch has 48 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE ports and three expansion slots. As a top-of-rack switch, all the servers in the rack connect to the Cisco Nexus 5596UP switch, and it connects to the LAN or SAN.

The Cisco Nexus 5596UP switch has the following features:

•48 fixed 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet server connection ports on the back of the switch

•Three slots on the back of the switch for optional expansion modules, which can be either a 16-port 10-Gigabit generic expansion module 2 (GEM2) or a layer 3 GEM2

•Two slots on the front of the switch for hot swap-capable power supplies, which provide front-to-back airflow for cooling

•Four slots on the front of the switch for hot swap-capable fan modules.

•Layer 2 or Layer 3 I/O modules

•One USB port on the front of the switch

Chassis

The Cisco Nexus 5596UP chassis is 2 RU or 3.47 inches (8.8 cm) tall, 17.3 inches (43.9 cm) wide, and 29.5 inches (74.9 cm) deep. It is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch wide rack. The front of the switch, shown in Figure 1-1, has a USB port, four Ethernet and ports (two cross-connect ports, one management port, and one console port), two power supplies, and four fan modules.

The management and console ports are in a 2 x 2 stacked RJ-45 jack. Figure 1-2 shows a close-up view of these ports. For information about the connector port LEDs, see Table D-1.

The rear of the Cisco Nexus 5596UP chassis, shown in Figure 1-3, has 48 fixed 10-Gigabit Ethernet data ports on the bottom and three slots for optional expansion modules on top.

Note The L1/L2/Mgmt1 ports are not usable. They are disabled at this time.

Expansion Modules

Expansion modules allow the Cisco Nexus 5596UP switch to be configured as cost-effective 10-Gigabit Ethernet switches and as I/O consolidation platforms with native Fibre Channel connectivity.

The Cisco Nexus 5596UP switch has three slots that can be used for the following optional expansion modules:

•4-port QSFP expansion module

•16-port Universal (Fibre Channel and Ethernet) GEM (N55-M16UP) that provides 8-, 4-, 2-, or 1-Gbps Fibre Channel and 1- or 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports

•Layer 3 GEMs (N55-M160L3 and N55-M160L3-V2) provide 160 Gbps of Layer 3 services. The N55-M160L3-V2 uses a newer version of the Layer 3 ASIC that enables higher table sizes in a future software release from 8K host entries to 16K host entries or from 4K multicast routes to 8K multicast routes (IPv4).
