About the Cisco Nexus 2000 N2K-C2232PP-10GE Cisco Nexus datacenter switch / module
The Cisco Nexus 2000 N2K-C2232PP-10GE Cisco Nexus datacenter switch / module from Cisco is enterprise-grade Network Switches hardware built for data centers. It features 10GbE interface. The Cisco Nexus 2232PP (N2K-C2232PP-10GE) is a Fabric Extender (FEX) designed to operate as a remote line card of a parent Cisco Nexus 5000, 6000, or 7000 series switch, extending the parent switch's fabric into the access layer without introducing additional management complexity. Operating under the Cisco Nexus FEX architecture, the 2232PP presents itself as a distributed module rather than an independent switch, meaning all control-plane intelligence — including spanning t Available in brand new condition. Cisco network switches products are trusted by enterprises and data centers worldwide. Available from Omnixon Global. Contact our sales team to request a quote.
