IP networking components
Each 700LX includes two Cisco Nexus 5548UP Ethernet switches. In the Vblock system, these switches
provide Ethernet connectivity:
•
Between the Vblock system internal components
•
To the customer site network
•
To the Advanced Management Pod (AMP) through redundant connections to the Cisco Catalyst 3000
Ethernet switches in the AMP
•
For backup and business continuity requirements when configured
The Cisco Nexus 5548UP Ethernet switch supports low latency line-rate 10 GB Ethernet and Fibre Channel
over Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity on up to 32 ports or 48 ports including the expansion module. Fibre Channel
on a Cisco Nexus 5548UP is not supported by VCE.
