The Cisco Nexus 7700 F3-Series module is powered by the proven and comprehensive Cisco NX-OS feature set. This extremely comprehensive set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions makes this module excellent for data center networks, in which density, performance, and continuous system operation are critical. The Cisco Nexus 7700 F3-Series module is a critical enabler of Cisco FabricPath. With Cisco FabricPath, organizations can build resilient, flexible, and if needed, massively scalable Layer 2 networks. Cisco FabricPath protects enterprises’ investments by allowing existing spanning-tree-based deployments to be connected to a Cisco FabricPath network. The Cisco Nexus 7700 F3-Series module can be used in conjunction with the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders (FEX). The Cisco Nexus 2000 Series is designed to simplify data center architecture and operations by dramatically reducing the number of points of management. The Cisco Nexus 7700 F3-Series module supports port breakout. Up to 19 of the 24 physical ports on the module can be configured in breakout mode, each becoming 4 logical and independent 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. This breakout mode can be configured at any time on any port (up to 19 ports) independently from configuration of other ports, and without the need to reload the module. When 19 ports of the module are configured in breakout mode, the other 5 ports remain available for establishing 40 Gigabit Ethernet links. Copper or fiber breakout assemblies are required to enable the physical separation of 10-Gigabit channels. The Cisco Nexus 7700 F3-Series module delivers integrated Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), greatly simplifying the network infrastructure and reducing costs by enabling the deployment of unified data center fabrics to consolidate data center traffic onto a single, general-purpose, high-performance, highly available network. With the Cisco Nexus 7700 F3-Series module, FCoE can be deployed in director-class modular platforms for the access layer and core of converged networks. The Cisco Nexus 7700 F3-Series module provides support for wire-rate VXLAN, offering the architectural flexibility needed to expand cloud deployments with repeatable pods in different Layer 2 domains. VXLAN can also enable migration of virtual machines between servers across Layer 3 networks. The support of advanced data center interconnect (DCI) protocols such as Cisco OTV and VPLS makes the module excellent for helping customers simplify the extension of applications across geographically dispersed data center sites. The Cisco Nexus 7700 F3-Series module supports high-performance MPLS for 40 Gigabit Ethernet data center deployments. Support of Cisco LISP enables enterprises and service providers to simplify multi-homed routing and facilitates scalable any-to-any WAN connectivity while supporting data center virtual machine mobility. The virtual device context (VDC) feature helps enable the virtualization of a single physical device in one or more logical devices. Each provisioned logical device is configured and managed as if it were a separate physical device.
