Cisco Nexus Switches N9K-C9336C-FX2

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) applications are being used increasingly in today's data centers, and the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches have the hardware and software capabilities to provide the right latency, congestion-management mechanisms, and telemetry to meet the requirements of those applications. The Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches address the need for high-performance, power-efficient, compact switching in the networking infrastructure and are designed to support 400G fabrics for next-generation leaf and spine designs.^®

Large-cloud and data-center networking teams require a flexible, reliable solution that efficiently manages, troubleshoots, and analyzes their IT infrastructure. In addition, they need security, automation, visibility, analytics, and assurance. Coupled with tools such as Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights for visibility and Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller for automation, Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches are ideal platforms for building a high-performance AI/ML network fabric.

Based on the Cisco Cloud Scale technology, the Cisco Nexus 9300-FX3 Series is the latest generation of access switches. Building on the Nexus 9300-FX series, the platform supports cost-effective cloud-scale deployments, an increased number of endpoints, and is capable of wire-rate security and telemetry. The platform is built on modern system architecture designed to provide high performance and meet the evolving needs of highly scalable data centers and growing enterprises.

Cisco provides two modes of operation for Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches. Organizations can deploy Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI) or Cisco NX-OS mode. ^®

Cisco ACI is a holistic, intent-driven architecture with centralized automation and policy-based application profiles. It provides a robust transport network for dynamic workloads and is built on a network fabric that combines time-tested protocols with new innovations to create a highly flexible, scalable, and resilient architecture of low-latency, high-bandwidth links. This fabric delivers a network that can support the most demanding and flexible data-center environments.

Designed for the programmable network, the Cisco NX-OS operating system automates configuration and management for customers who want to take advantage of the DevOps operation model and tool sets.

Trustworthy Technologies in Nexus 9000 Switches

Today's sophisticated cyberattacks increasingly seek to compromise the network infrastructure by attacking devices such as routers and switches. By doing so, attackers can eavesdrop on sensitive communications, steal or manipulate data, and launch attacks against other parts of the network. This includes advanced persistent threats that modify the hardware or software of network devices. These threats can go unnoticed for months, or even years, inflicting devastating damage.

Cisco trustworthy technologies provide product assurance functionality as well as foundational security capabilities that enhance the security and resilience of Cisco solutions. To protect against device counterfeiting and malicious attacks on hardware and software, Cisco uses digitally signed software images, hardware-anchored secure boot, Secure Unique Device Identifier (SUDI), and other trustworthy technologies to verify the authenticity and integrity of our solutions. Among other functions, trustworthy technologies run automated checks of hardware and software integrity and can shut down the boot process if compromise is detected. The Cisco Trust Anchor module provides a Secure Unique Device Identifier, highly secure storage, a random bit generator, and secure key management. These added layers of security protect against counterfeit and software modification; enable secure, encrypted communications; and verify that Cisco network devices are operating as intended.

Extensive Programmability

Day zero automation through Power On Auto Provisioning, drastically reducing provisioning time.

Industry leading integrations for leading devops configuration management applications – Ansible, Chef, Puppet, SALT. Extensive Native YANG and industry standard OpenConfig model support through RESTCONF/NETCONF.

Pervasive API's for all switch CLI functions (JSON based RPC over HTTP/HTTPs).

Cisco Tetration Analytics platform support

The telemetry information from the Nexus 9300 Series switches is exported every 100 milliseconds by default directly from the switch's Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). This information consists of three types of data: (a) Flow information, this information contains information about endpoints, protocols, ports, when the flow started, how long the flow was active, etc. (b) Inter-packet variation, this information captures any inter-packet variations within the flow. Examples include variation in Time To Live (TTL), IP and TCP flags, payload length, etc. (c) Context details, context information is derived outside the packet header, including variation in buffer utilization, packet drops within a flow,association with tunnel endpoints, etc.
