Cisco Nexus 7009 Switch Chassis

Switch fabric scalability is made possible through the support of from one to five concurrently active fabric modules for increased performance as your needs grow. All fabric modules are connected to all module slots. The addition of each fabric module increases the bandwidth to all module slots up to the system limit of five modules. The architecture supports lossless fabric failover with the remaining fabric modules load balancing the bandwidth to all the I/O module slots helping ensure graceful degradation.
