N7K-C7009-FAB-2 Cisco Nexus 7000 9-Slot Fabric-2 Module

The N7K-C7009-FAB-2 is the Cisco Nexus 7000 9-slot chassis Fabric-2 module, with 110 Gbps per slot per fabric module. It is a separate fabric module that provides parallel fabric channels to each I/O and supervisor module slot, and it is supported in the Nexus 7000 9-slot switch chassis. Spare units carry the number N7K-C7009-FAB-2=.

From one to five fabric modules can be active at the same time, and each one added raises the bandwidth to every module slot up to the system limit of five. Five modules deliver up to 550 Gbps per slot, with a system capacity beyond 15 Tbps. The combined fabric modules provide 10 channels per I/O module and 5 channels per supervisor module, and if one module fails the remaining modules load-balance the bandwidth with lossless fabric failover.

The module is hot-swappable (online insertion and removal) and occupies one fabric module slot. It measures 1.75 x 4.5 x 22.5 in (4.45 x 11.43 x 57.15 cm), height by width by depth, and weighs 5 lb (2.27 kg). An ID LED supports the beacon feature for identifying the chassis and fabric module. The software requirement is Cisco NX-OS Release 5.2 or later, with Cisco DCNM 5.2 for network management, and the module supports SNMP versions 1, 2c and 3.

Fabric-2 modules for the other chassis are the N7K-C7010-FAB-2 for the 10-slot and the N7K-C7018-FAB-2 for the 18-slot chassis. The chassis itself is the N7K-C7009 Nexus 7000 9-slot chassis, and the 10-slot version is the N7K-C7010 Nexus 7000 10-slot chassis. More Nexus modules are in Cisco switches.
