This line card from the Cisco interface cards range carries 12 QSFP+ ports running at 40 Gigabit Ethernet and belongs to the F3-Series of Nexus 7000 modules. Each port can be split into four separate 10G ports with a copper or fibre breakout assembly, and the change takes effect without reloading the module.
Forwarding capacity is 720 million packets per second for Layer 2 and Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, with up to 480 Gbps of data throughput per module. The card holds a 72 MB VOQ buffer, 64K MAC addresses, 64K IPv4 entries, 32K IPv6 entries and 16K ACL entries, and it handles jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes.
It fits Nexus 7000 chassis with 4, 9, 10 or 18 slots, takes one I/O slot, and works with Supervisor 2 and Supervisor 2 Enhanced modules. Maximum 40G port density is 24 ports in the 4-slot chassis, 84 in the 9-slot, 96 in the 10-slot and 192 in the 18-slot chassis.
The module measures 1.733 x 15.3 x 21.9 in (4.4 x 38.9 x 55.6 cm) and weighs 15 lb (6.8 kg), with an operating range of 0 to 40 C at 5 to 90 percent non-condensing humidity. Its software feature set covers FabricPath, wire-rate VXLAN, OTV, MPLS and LISP, and FCoE is enabled with a separate licence. The spare unit carries the number N7K-F312FQ-25=.
