The Cisco Nexus 9200 platform consists of industry-leading ultra-high-density fixed-configuration data center switches with line-rate Layer 2 and 3 features that support enterprise applications, service provider hosting, and cloud computing environments. These switches support a wide range of port speeds with flexible combinations of 1\/10\/25\/40\/50\/100-Gbps connectivity in compact form factors. Using the widely deployed industry-leading Cisco NX-OS Software operating system, the Cisco Nexus 9200 platform is designed for programmable fabric, which offers the flexibility, mobility, and scale needed by service providers and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and cloud providers. It is also designed for programmable networks, which automate configuration and management for customers who want to take advantage of the DevOps model and tool sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Cisco Nexus 9232C Switch (Figure 1) is a 1-rack-unit (1RU) switch that supports 6.4 terabits per second (Tbps) of bandwidth and more than 5.1 billion packets per second (bpps) across thirty-two 100-Gbps Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable 28 (QSFP28) ports. Each port on the 9232C can be individually configured into 1x100-Gbps port, 4 x10-Gbps ports, 4 x 25-Gbps ports, 1 x 40-Gbps port, or 2 x 50-Gbps ports.|\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures and Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Cisco Nexus 9232C Switch provides the following features and benefits:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigh performance and scalability\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe platform provides wire-rate Layer 2 and 3 switching on all ports with up to 6.4 Tbps and over 5.1 bpps of bandwidth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith up to 30 MB of shared buffer, the platform is an excellent choice for scalable data centers and big data applications.
