Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches

Product Overview

The Cisco Nexus™ 5000 Series Switches comprise a family of line-rate, low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) switches for data center applications (Figure 1).

Figure 1. The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Includes the Cisco Nexus 5010 Switch and Cisco Nexus 5020 Switch Supporting 10

Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE

Today’s data centers are increasingly filled with dense rack-mount and blade servers that host powerful multicore processors. The rapid increase of in-rack computing density, along with the increasing use of virtualization software, combine to push the demand for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and consolidated I/O: applications for which the Cisco Nexus

5000 Series is an excellent match. With low latency, front-to-back cooling, and rear-facing ports, the Cisco Nexus

5000 Series is designed for data centers transitioning to 10 Gigabit Ethernet as well as those ready to deploy a unified fabric that can handle their LAN, SAN, and server clusters, providing networking over a single link (or dual links for redundancy).

The switch family, using cut-through architecture, supports line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet on all ports while maintaining consistently low latency independent of packet size and services enabled. It supports a set of network technologies known collectively as IEEE Data Center Bridging (DCB) that increases the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of Ethernet networks. These features allow the switches to support multiple traffic classes over a lossless

Ethernet fabric, thus enabling consolidation of LAN, SAN, and cluster environments. Its ability to connect FCoE to native Fibre Channel protects existing storage system investments while dramatically simplifying in-rack cabling.

In addition to supporting standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet network interface cards (NICs) on servers, the Cisco Nexus

5000 Series integrates with multifunction adapters called converged network adapters (CNAs) that combine the functions of Ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs), making the transition to a single, unified network fabric transparent and consistent with existing practices, management software, and OS drivers. The switch family is compatible with integrated transceivers and Twinax cabling solutions that deliver cost-effective connectivity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet to servers at the rack level, eliminating the need for expensive optical transceivers.

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series is designed for data center environments with cut-through technology that enables consistent low-latency Ethernet solutions, with front-to-back cooling, and with network ports in the rear, bringing switching into close proximity with servers and making cable runs short and simple. The switch family is highly serviceable, with redundant, hot-pluggable power supplies and fan modules. It uses data center-class Cisco

The high bandwidth of 10 Gigabit Ethernet poses challenges to transmissions that are met by the transceiver and cabling options supported by the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series.

The product family supports an innovative Twinax copper cabling solution that connects to standard SFP+ connectors for in-rack use, and optical cabling for longer cable runs (Table 2).

●

For in-rack or adjacent-rack cabling, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series supports SFP+ direct-attach 10 Gigabit

Ethernet copper, an innovative solution that integrates transceivers with Twinax cables into an energyefficient, low-cost, and low-latency solution. SFP+ direct-attach 10 Gigabit Twinax copper cables use only 0.1 watt (W) of power per transceiver and introduce only approximately 0.25 microsecond of latency per link.

●

For longer cable runs, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series supports multimode, short-reach optical SFP+ transceivers. These optical transceivers use approximately 1W per transceiver and have a latency of less than 0.1 microsecond.

Both these options provide lower latency and higher energy efficiency than 10GBASE-T. This standard uses transceivers that consume 4 to 8W per transceiver and contribute a latency of up to 2.5 microseconds per link, making the 10GBASE-T standard a significant contributor to network-level power consumption.

Data Sheet

Features and Benefits

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series’ rich feature set makes it ideal for top-of-rack, middle-of-row, or end-of-row accesslayer applications. It protects investments in data center racks with standards based 10 Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE features, and virtual machine awareness features that allow IT departments to consolidate networks based on their own requirements and timing. The combination of high port density, lossless Ethernet, wire-speed performance, and extremely low latency makes the switch family ideal for meeting the growing demand for 10 Gigabit Ethernet that can support unified fabric in enterprise and service provider data centers, protecting enterprises’ investments. The switch family has sufficient port density to support single and multiple racks fully populated with blade and rack-mount servers.

●

Built for today’s data centers, the switches are designed just like the servers they support. Ports and power connections are at the rear, closer to server ports, helping keep cable lengths as short and efficient as possible, delivering benefits traditionally offered on blade servers to rack servers as well. Hot-swappable power and fan modules can be accessed from the front panel, where status lights offer an at-a-glance view of switch operation. Front-to-back cooling is consistent with server designs, supporting efficient data center hot- and cold-aisle designs. Serviceability is enhanced with all customer-replaceable units accessible from the front panel. The use of SFP+ ports offers increased flexibility, enabling use of a range of interconnect solutions, including copper Twinax cable for short runs and fiber for long runs.

●

IEEE DCB enables Ethernet fabrics to support lossless transmission to increase network scalability, support

I/O consolidation, ease management of multiple traffic flows, and optimize performance. Although implementing SAN consolidation requires only the lossless fabric provided by the Ethernet pause mechanism, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series provides additional features that create an even more easily managed, high-performance, unified network fabric. The IEEE DCB and related standards summarized in

Table 3 are supported by the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches.

●

FCoE is a standards-based upper-layer protocol that maps the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) and services onto Layer 2 Ethernet. It is a straightforward encapsulation of Fibre Channel within Ethernet that preserves existing Fibre Channel network management models and tools, helping protect investments in software and staff training.

●

Cisco unified fabric consolidates all data center I/O onto Layer 2 Ethernet. Unified fabric reduces capital and operating costs by reducing the number of server adapters, cables, and upstream switches needed. All I/O

(LAN, SAN, and cluster) typically is consolidated onto two Ethernet links. IEEE DCB and FCoE enable the incorporation of Fibre Channel frames into a unified fabric, facilitating wire-once strategies in which all servers become capable of SAN connection. A standard and uniform approach to I/O enhances server and storage consolidation strategies. The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series also connects to existing native Fibre Channel networks, protecting current investments in storage networks. Additionally, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series


Data Sheet attaches to directly connected FCoE and Fibre Channel storage devices and, as FCoE-enabled switching becomes available across the data center, will support multi-tiered unified network fabric directly over FCoE.

●

Energy efficiency achieved through the use of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches helps data centers operate within their space, power, and cooling parameters while reducing their carbon footprints. Every network link at the rack level requires adapters, switches, and transceivers, all of which consume power. I/O consolidation reduces energy consumption by eliminating the need for separate Fibre Channel adapters, cables, and switches. In many cases, server cluster networks also can be consolidated onto 10 Gigabit

Ethernet networks, especially given the low latency of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series. The switch hardware is also designed for energy efficiency. Variable-speed fans consume only the amount of power necessary to cool the chassis at the given point in time. The switch power supplies are sized to support worst-case scenarios, in which inefficient SFP+ transceivers increase power draw; however, when low-power cabling solutions are deployed, the switch family’s power supplies maintain 90 percent efficiency at only 25 percent utilization, making efficient use of power in best-case scenarios.

●

Consistent management for Cisco products is provided through consistency of both Cisco NX-OS Software and Cisco MDS 9000 SAN-OS Software management models and tools. The switch family network features can be managed using the Cisco command-line interface (CLI), and the Fibre Channel and FCoE features can be managed through the Cisco Fabric Manager suite. In a future release, Cisco Data Center Network

Manager (DCNM) will support the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches. The capability to manage Ethernet and

FCoE features independently with existing Cisco tools preserves existing management models, best practices, and investments in staff training. In addition, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) MIBs,

XML, and the Cisco CLI are made available to customers for switch management through third-party and custom-developed tools. The switch family uses Cisco NX-OS for superior operational efficiency, pervasive security, and continuous operation even through software upgrades.

●

Software manageability and serviceability features include Smart Call Home and automated parameter exchange (through DCBX). Security is enhanced through role-based access control (RBAC); support for authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA), remote TACACS+, and RADIUS servers; and Secure

Shell (SSH) access.

Applications

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series supports a number of application scenarios that use it as an access-layer switch colocated with servers in data center racks or for middle-of-row deployments.

●

As an access-layer switch, it can be used purely as a 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch, consolidating 10 Gigabit

Ethernet connections into a smaller number of server connections trunked to the aggregation layer.

●

In conjunction with the Cisco Nexus 2148T Gigabit Ethernet Fabric Extender, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series can be a high-density Gigabit Ethernet switching system, consolidating more than 576 Gigabit Ethernet connections within a single management plane.

●

As a rack-level I/O consolidation platform, the switch carries Ethernet traffic from servers to the aggregation layer and carries FCoE traffic to existing Fibre Channel SANs.

●

As a crucial element in data center I/O consolidation, the switch enables I/O consolidation at the access layer and provides interoperability with the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series and other standards-based products.

The capability of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series to function in all these capacities helps protect investment in the data center with a deployment model in which additional features can be enabled as they are needed.


Data Sheet

Rack-Level 10 Gigabit Ethernet Access-Layer Switch

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series is designed with the density, performance, front-to-back cooling, and rear port configuration that make it ideal for aggregating a large number of 10 Gigabit Ethernet links from servers into a smaller number of uplinks to aggregation-layer switches. The switch port density allows each switch to support a single rack or neighboring racks using the SFP+ direct-attach 10 Gigabit copper cabling option. The Cisco Nexus

5000 Series Switches can be purchased with only the Ethernet capabilities enabled, allowing IT departments to deploy them in parallel with existing Fibre Channel SANs. Figure 6 shows an active-active pair of Cisco Nexus 5000

Series Switches cross-connected to redundant Ethernet NICs in servers. Instead of using multiple Gigabit Ethernet connections to servers for LAN, virtual machine mobility applications, and Small Computer System Interface over IP

(iSCSI) SAN support, customers can combine their traffic over a consolidated, lossless, low-latency 10 Gigabit

Ethernet fabric.

Figure 6. The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Can Be Deployed as a Top-of-Rack, Access-Layer Switch in Parallel with Existing Fibre

Channel SANs

Consolidated Gigabit Ethernet Top-of-Rack Access-Layer System

One deployment scenario involves equipping each data center rack with two Cisco Nexus 2148T Gigabit Ethernet

Fabric Extenders connected to two upstream Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches (Figure 7). Up to 48 servers can connect to each fabric extender. Assuming that these servers are dual-homed, a pair of Cisco Nexus 5020 Switches can connect up to 576 servers (12 fabric extenders).

Unified Fabric with FCoE: I/O Consolidation

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series consolidates multiple networks--LAN, SAN, and server cluster--on a single unified fabric, saving the capital and operating expenses associated with deployment of multiple parallel networks, switching infrastructure, and cabling. The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches are compatible with third-party I/O CNAs that present separate Ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel HBAs to the server operating system. This approach allows existing drivers and Fibre Channel management software to work transparently with FCoE. Upstream, two different expansion modules support direct connections from the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series to existing native Fibre Channel

SANs (Figure 8).


Data Sheet

Investment Protection with Cisco Unified Fabric

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series supports consolidated I/O using FCoE on downlinks to servers. FCoE is Fibre

Channel and, as such, has familiar methods of configuration, operation, and management. On the uplinks to the network, customers can choose between FCoE direct attachment to storage systems and native Fibre Channel connection to existing SANs. Fibre Channel and FCoE exist simultaneously in the Fibre Channel network, allowing customers to continue to use their existing administration and management tools. Cisco Fabric Manager SAN management software manages Fibre Channel and FCoE flows over both FCoE- and Fibre Channel-capable ports.

Product Architecture

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series is built around two custom components: a unified crossbar fabric and a unified port controller application-specific integrated circuit ((ASIC). Each Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch contains a single unified crossbar fabric ASIC and multiple unified port controllers to support fixed ports and expansion modules within the switch.

The unified port controller provides an interface between the unified crossbar fabric ASIC and the network media adapter and makes forwarding decisions for Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and FCoE frames. The ASIC supports the overall cut-through design of the switch by transmitting packets to the unified crossbar fabric before the entire payload has been received. The unified crossbar fabric ASIC is a single-stage, nonblocking crossbar fabric capable of meshing all ports at wire speed. The unified crossbar fabric offers superior performance by implementing QoSaware scheduling for unicast and multicast traffic. Moreover, the tight integration of the unified crossbar fabric with the unified port controllers helps ensure low-latency lossless fabric for ingress interfaces requesting access to egress interfaces.
