The N7K-C7018-FAB-2 is the Cisco Nexus 7000 18-slot chassis Fabric-2 fabric module, rated at 110 Gbps per slot per fabric module. Up to five active modules in one chassis reach 550 Gbps per slot, for a system capacity above 15 Tbps. Together the modules provide 10 channels to each I/O module and 5 channels to each supervisor module.
The 18-slot chassis holds up to five fabric modules, either this Fabric-2 module or the Fabric-1 module N7K-C7018-FAB-1. F2 I/O modules need five fabric modules, while F1, M1 and M2 I/O modules need three to five of the same type. When Fabric 1 modules are swapped for Fabric 2 modules, every one of them must be swapped, or the Fabric 2 modules perform like Fabric 1 modules, and a switch powered up with both types runs only the Fabric 2 modules.
Each module weighs 7.5 lb (3.4 kg) and draws 150 W at most and 110 W typical. It is hot-swappable (OIR), needs Cisco NX-OS Release 6.0 or later, is managed with Cisco DCNM 6.0 and supports SNMP v1, v2c and v3. The spare number is N7K-C7018-FAB-2=.
It is used in the N7K-C7018 18-slot chassis, and the 9-slot chassis takes the N7K-C7009-FAB-2 module. Other Nexus 7000 modules are in Cisco switches.
