The Cisco Nexus 5600 platform Gigabit Ethernet switches are the third generation of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches: the leading data center server access switches. The Cisco Nexus 5600 platform, the successor to the widely adopted Cisco Nexus 5500 platform switches, maintains all the existing Cisco Nexus 5500 platform features including LAN and SAN convergence (unified ports, Fiber Channel over Ethernet [FCoE], fabric extenders (FEX), and Cisco FabricPath. In addition, the Cisco Nexus 5600 platform offers integrated line-rate Layer 2 and 3 with true 40 Gigabit Ethernet support, the Cisco Dynamic Fabric Automation (DFA) innovation, Network Virtualization Using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE), VXLAN bridging and routing capabilities, excellent network programmability and visibility, deep buffers, and significantly higher scale and performance for highly virtualized, automated, and cloud environments.
The Cisco Nexus 5600 40-Gbps platform switches include 1RU, 2RU, and 4RU configurations for a flexible, agile, and energy-efficient design. The Cisco Nexus 5600 platform complements existing Cisco Nexus switches and is an important component of the Cisco Unified Data Center architecture. The platform offers 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE with integrated Layer 2 and 3 features at wire speed, and low latency: approximately 1 microsecond for any packet size. With a choice of front-to-back (port-side exhaust) and back-to-front (port-side intake) airflow options, the Cisco Nexus 5600 40-Gbps platform switches are designed for a broad range of traditional data center and large-scale virtualized cloud deployments.
