Marketing Information | Cisco 6000 Series Switches are cloud-managed network fabric switches. When paired with a Cisco Nexus Hyperfabric subscription, they provide a network fabric delivered as a service data center offer that enables customers to easily design, deploy, manage, and scale multiple fabrics globally with a minimum of expertise. It reinvents and simplifies every step of IT operations, ensuring repeatable and predictable outcomes. Cisco Nexus Hyperfabric is a cloud-managed vertical stack solution consisting of purpose-built hardware, software, a cloud controller, day-2 operations, automation, and Cisco support that eliminates complexity. IT, application and DevOps teams manage the full lifecycle of designing, ordering, deploying, validating, monitoring, and scaling fabrics without requiring deep networking or operational expertise. When the Cisco 6000 switches arrive on-site and are deployed, they automatically connect to the cloud, to be claimed and provisioned by the cloud controller with a zero-touch plug-and-play approach. This process takes just minutes and results in a fully operational network fabric. When it comes time to change the capacity or shape of the design, customers can edit the design, approve the changes, and repeat the same process. The product guides all the physical changes needed to migrate the old topology to the new desired state, including cabling adjustments, and it reconfigures itself automatically. Cisco HF6100 switch models The Cisco Silicon One Q200 Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is purpose-built for a next-generation network core-plus-edge switch such as the Cisco 6000 Series. It is the first enterprise ASIC to offer speeds up to 12.8 Tbps full duplex with 8 Bpps of forwarding performance while supporting high-performance and full routing and switching capabilities without external memories. The Cisco Silicon One Q200 ASIC: - Is built on 7nm fabrication technology, capable of high performance while maintaining a low-power footprint
- Has up to 12.8 (switching ASIC capacity) Tbps switching capacity with 8 Bpps forwarding rate
- Has 80 MB of dedicated low-latency buffer, with up to 8 GB of HBM buffer for deep packet buffers
- Provides up to 60 native nonblocking 10/25/50 Gigabit Ethernet SFP56 ports
- Provides up to 32 native nonblocking 40/100/200/400 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP-DD ports
- Has an Intel Broadwell x86 CPU with 16 or 32 GB of DDR4 memory
- Provides flexible routing (IPv4, IPv6, and multicast) tables, Layer-2 tables, ACL tables, and QoS tables
- Has ASIC tables for switching scale up to 256K MAC addresses and routing scale up to 2M routes
- Has dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 and dynamic hardware forwarding table allocations for ease of IPv4-to-IPv6 migration
