N5K-C5548UP-FA Cisco Nexus 32-Port 1000Base-T Layer-3 Managed Rack-Mountable Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch

Cisco Nexus N5K-C5548UP-FA

The Cisco N5K-C5548UP-FA is a 32-port managed Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet switch from the Cisco Nexus Series, making it a dependable option for virtualized server farms, private clouds and storage networks that need low latency and high bandwidth.

The Cisco Nexus N5K-C5548UP-FA is equipped with 32 x 1000BASE-T for a flexible mix of connections. Gigabit speeds to each desk keep large file transfers, cloud apps and video calls running smoothly.

Full management capabilities let your IT team tune performance, enforce policies and monitor every port. Layer 3 capability enables routing between VLANs on the switch, reducing load on your router and lowering latency. It runs on Cisco NX-OS, so it fits existing management tools and operating procedures. Email, file sharing, voice and video all depend on stable switching underneath. Keeping firmware up to date, where supported, helps maintain security and stability. Link aggregation combines multiple ports into one logical link for extra bandwidth and resilience. Keeping a record of what is connected to each port speeds up maintenance. Switches like this form the backbone of everyday network communication, linking users to applications, storage and the internet.

The rack-mountable design makes installation straightforward in its intended location. Install it in a well-ventilated location so it keeps operating reliably over the long term. It provides the bandwidth that today's virtual machines, containers and storage platforms demand. Low latency and high port density make it suitable for virtualization, storage traffic and east-west workloads. Top-of-rack deployment keeps server cables short and tidy. The Cisco Nexus N5K-C5548UP-FA is a smart investment for anyone who needs Cisco managed Gigabit Ethernet switching.
