About the Cisco Nexus 2000 N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE Cisco Nexus datacenter switch / module
The Cisco Nexus 2000 N2K-C2232TM-E-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 N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE is a Fabric Extender (FEX) module within the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series, designed to extend the capabilities of a parent Cisco Nexus 5000, 6000, or 7000 Series switch into the server access layer of the data center. Operating as a remote line card rather than a standalone switch, the N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE is managed entirely through its parent (fabric interconnect) switch, presenting a single point of management across both devices. This architect Available in brand new condition. Cisco network switches products are trusted by enterprises and data centers worldwide. Available from Omnixon Global.
