Description

Cisco N2K-C2348TQ Technical Overview

The Cisco N2K-C2348TQ is a high-density 10GBASE-T fabric extender designed to extend the Cisco Nexus 7000, 7700, and 9000 series switch architectures. This N2K-C2348TQ unit serves as a remote line card, utilizing the Cisco Fabric Extender (FEX) technology to simplify data center management. It provides 48 ports of 100M/1G/10GBASE-T connectivity and six 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ uplink ports. The architecture ensures that all traffic is passed to the parent switch for centralized policy enforcement and management.

Deployment of the N2K-C2348TQ minimizes cable complexity by consolidating server access into a single managed fabric. It supports FCoE, providing a unified I/O solution that integrates both storage and data traffic over a single physical link. Engineers can leverage the N2K-C2348TQ to achieve massive scalability while maintaining a consistent operational model across the entire fabric. This hardware is ideal for high-performance computing environments requiring low-latency connectivity and robust link-level flow control.
