    Overview

    Cisco N2K-C2348UPQ Overview

    The Cisco N2K-C2348UPQ is a data center-class Cisco Nexus 2300 fabric extender designed to deliver high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet to Cisco Nexus parent switches. With 48 SFP/SFP+ host interfaces and 6 x 40G QSFP uplinks, it provides up to 1,440Gbps of hardware forwarding and 2:1 oversubscription for efficient east-west traffic. Support for FCoE, advanced Layer 2 features, and NX-OS integration makes it ideal for scalable enterprise and cloud infrastructures across Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America.

    Product Applications Scenarios

    Data Center
    High-density 10GE SFP+ host ports and 40G QSFP uplinks aggregate top-of-rack traffic, simplifying cabling and reducing core switch port usage by up to 40% in modern data centers.
    Cloud Services
    Hardware forwarding at 1,440Gbps and 2:1 oversubscription enable predictable bandwidth for multi-tenant clouds while lowering per-rack networking cost by up to 30%.
    Enterprise Network
    FCoE support and rich Layer 2 features extend Cisco Nexus domains closer to servers, consolidating LAN and SAN access and cutting aggregation switch count in large enterprises.
