Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders Extend the
Capabilities of Cisco Nexus Switches to Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit
Ethernet, and Unified Fabric Environments
The Cisco Nexus 2000 Series in conjunction with the Cisco
Nexus 5000 Series delivers a unified fabric over lossless
Ethernet for LAN, storage, and HPC traffic. Unified fabric
at the server access layer provides cost benefits through
infrastructure reduction (CapEx savings) and infrastructure
simplification (OpEx savings). The Cisco Nexus 2000 Series
has four fabric extender models (Figure 3):
•
Cisco Nexus 2232TP 10GBASE-T Fabric Extender: 1RU
form-factor switch that provides 32 1/10GBASE-T server
ports and 8 10GbE SFP+ uplink ports
•
Cisco Nexus 2232PP 10GE Fabric Extender: 1RU
form-factor switch that provides 32 10 Gigabit Ethernet
(IEEE DCB and FCoE capable) SFP+ server ports and 8
10 Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE DCB and FCoE-capable) SFP+
uplink ports
•
Cisco Nexus 2224TP GE Fabric Extender: 1RU

Gigabit Ethernet (100/1000BASE-T) server ports and 2
10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports
•
Cisco Nexus 2248TP GE Fabric Extender: 1RU
form-factor switch that provides 48 Fast Ethernet and
Gigabit Ethernet (100/1000BASE-T) server ports
and 4 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports
•
Cisco Nexus 2148T Fabric Extender: 1RU form-factor
switch that provides 48 fixed ports of Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces for server connectivity and up to 4 10 Gigabit
Ethernet uplink interfaces
