N7K-M224XP-23L Overview
The Cisco Nexus 7000 M2-Series 24-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module with XL Option (N7K-M224XP-23L) is a high-density, high-performance 10GbE module for the Cisco Nexus 7000 series switches. It provides up to 24 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity using SFP+ optics.
The Cisco N7K-M224XP-23L module is designed for large-scale, high-bandwidth data center environments. It supports flexible XL and non-XL mode operation with a software license upgrade. The XL mode enables larger routing and forwarding tables for deployments that require full Internet routing tables. The module provides line-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding on all ports.
