The N7K-F248XP-25E is a Nexus 7000 Enhanced F2-Series module in the Cisco interface cards range, with 48 ports of 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet that accept SFP or SFP+ transceivers. It runs in Nexus 7000 chassis with 4, 9, 10 or 18 slots on NX-OS 6.1.2 or later.
Throughput reaches 480 Gbps per module at 720 million packets per second of Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding for IPv4 and IPv6, and port-to-port latency stays below 6 microseconds. The VOQ buffer is 72 MB per module and jumbo frames go up to 9216 bytes.
Typical power draw is 350 W with a maximum of 450 W, roughly 7.5 W per port. The card measures 1.733 x 15.3 x 21.9 in (4.4 x 38.9 x 55.6 cm) and weighs 14 lb (6.3 kg), or 16 lb (7.2 kg) once transceivers are fitted.
Forwarding capacity covers 32,768 IPv4 entries, 16,384 IPv6 entries, 16,384 adjacency entries and 4096 VLANs per VDC, plus up to 196,608 MAC entries per module depending on VLAN allocation. MACsec with AES and a 128-bit key applies to ports 41 to 48 only. The spare is N7K-F248XP-25E=.
