As an access-layer switch, it can be used purely as a 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch,
consolidating 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections into a smaller number of server connections trunked
to the aggregation layer.
As a smaller-scale aggregation switch, it can be used as a Layer 3 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch,
consolidating multiple 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections from a data center access layer.
In conjunction with the Cisco Nexus 2248T GE Ethernet Fabric Extender, the Cisco Nexus 5500
Platform can be a high-density 1-Gigabit Ethernet switching system, consolidating more than 900
Gigabit Ethernet connections within a single management plane.
In conjunction with the Cisco Nexus 2232T 10GE Fabric Extender, it can be a high-density
switching system, consolidating more than 600 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections within a single
management plane.
In conjunction with the Cisco Nexus 2224TM 10GE Fabric Extender, it can be a high-density
switching system, consolidating more than 600 10-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 FC 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 5500 Platform and other
standards-based products.
