Cisco Nexus 7000 support I/O modules (so far on Aug 2012)

 截至2012/8/31為止，Cisco Nexus 7000支援以下I/o module"

•F1-Series 32-port 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet I/O modules (N7K-F132XP-15)

•F2-Series 48-port 1-/10-Gigabit Ethernet I/O modules with XL (N7K-F248XP-25)

•M1-Series 48-port 10/100/1000 I/O modules (N7K-M148GT-11)

•M1-Series 48-port 10/100/1000 I/O modules with XL option (N7K-M148GT-11L)

•M1-Series 48-port 1-Gigabit Ethernet I/O modules (N7K-M148GS-11)

•M1-Series 48-port 1-Gigabit Ethernet I/O modules with XL option (N7K-M148GS-11L)

•M1-Series 32-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet I/O modules (N7K-M132XP-12)

•M1-Series 32-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet I/O modules with XL option (N7K-M132XP-12L)

•M1-Series 8-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet I/O modules with XL option(N7K-M108X2-12L)

•M2-Series 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet I/O modules with XL option (N7K-M224XP-23L)

•M2-Series 6-port 40-Gigabit Ethernet I/O modules with XL option (N7K-M206XP-23L)

•M2-Series 2-port 100-Gigabit Ethernet I/O modules with XL option (N7K-M202XP-23L)

而針對這些module，在設定VDC時需要注意port group，有些模組同一個port group必需配置到同一個VDC中。Port group的分配狀況如下:

•       N7K-M202CF-22L (1 interface x 2 port groups = 2 interfaces 100G modules)—There are no restrictions on the interface allocation between VDCs. 

•N7K-M206FQ-23L (1 interface x 6 port groups = 6 interfaces 40G modules)—There are no restrictions on the interface allocation between VDCs. 

•N7K-M224XP-23L (1 interface x 24 port groups = 24 interfaces 10G modules)—There are no restrictions on the interface allocation between VDCs. 

•N7K-M108X2-12L (1 interface x 8 port groups = 8 interfaces)—There are no restrictions on the interface allocation between VDCs. 

•N7K-M148GS-11L, N7K-M148GT-11, and N7K-M148GS-11 (12 interfaces x 4 port groups = 48 interfaces)—There are no restrictions on the interface allocation between VDCs, but we recommend that interfaces that belong to the same port group be in a single VDC. 

•N7K-M132XP-12 (4 interfaces x 8 port groups = 32 interfaces)—Interfaces belonging to the same port group must belong to the same VDC.

•N7K-M148GT-11L (same as non-L M148) (1 interface x 48 port groups = 48 interfaces)—There are no restrictions on the interface allocation between VDCs. 

•N7K-M132XP-12L (same as non-L M132) (1 interface x 8 port groups = 8 interfaces)—All M132 cards require allocation in groups of 4 ports and you can configure 8 port groups.

M系列和F系列的module都可以安裝XL

And the Fabric supporting matrix is as follows:

•Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis uses the Fabric 2 (N7K-C7009-FAB-2) modules.

•Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis uses the Fabric 1 (N7K-C7010-FAB-1) or Fabric 2 (N7K-C7010-FAB-2) modules.

•Cisco Nexus 7018 chassis uses the Fabric 1 (N7K-C7018-FAB-1) or Fabric 2 (N7K-C7018-FAB-2) modules.

      You can replace a Fabric 1 module with a Fabric 2 module in the Cisco Nexus 7010 and 7018 switches during operations, but while there is a mix of fabric module types, all of the fabric modules perform as Fabric 1 modules.

      Nexus7010及7018可以開機狀況下將FAB2換成FAB1，但必須是全換，如果是混插的狀況下，只有FAB1會發揮作用

       If you power up a switch with two types of fabric modules installed, only the Fabric 1 modules will power up. To utilize the Fabric 2 module capabilities, all of the installed fabric modules must be Fabric 2 modules.

      在FAB1及FAB2混插的情況下，只有FAB1會啟動，只有在全部都是FAB2時，FAB2才會全部啟動
