L2 l3 basic switching rj-45 ethernet ports quantity: 48 10g support 1000base-t switching capacity: 696 gbit s 1u rack mounting the cisco application centric infrastructure cisco aci solution in the data center is a holistic architecture with centralized automation and policy-based application profiles. The cisco aci solution provides a robust transport network for today’s dynamic workloads. Cisco aci 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.The cisco aci fabric consists of three major components:- cisco application policy infrastructure controller apic - spine switches- leaf switchesbuilding on the success of first-generation cisco nexus 9300 platform switches, the latest cisco nexus 9300-ex and 9300-fx platforms can collect comprehensive cisco tetration analytics telemetry information at line rate across all ports without adding any latency to the packets or negatively affecting switch performance. This telemetry information is exported every 100 milliseconds ms by default directly from the switch’s application specific integrated circuit asic . This information consists of three types of data:- flow information: this information contains information about endpoints, protocols, ports, when the flow started, how long the f...
