    Cisco N5K-C5596UP-FA Overview

    The Cisco N5K-C5596UP-FA is a data center-class Nexus 5500 enterprise switch designed for high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet and unified fabric deployments. Delivering 1,920Gbps Layer 2 switching and up to 160Gbps Layer 3 routing, it supports line-rate performance on all 48 fixed ports with ultra-low-latency cut-through forwarding. Flexible unified ports provide 1/10GE, FCoE, and native Fibre Channel, while rich L2/L3, QoS, security, and high-availability features make it an ideal core or aggregation switch for virtualized and converged networks.
