N7K-SUP1 Overview
The Cisco Nexus 7000 N7K-SUP1 Supervisor Module provides scalable control plane and management functions for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches. As the central point of chassis management, it controls Layer 2/3 services, redundancy, monitoring, power/environmental functions and more. The Cisco N7K-SUP1 features a dual-core CPU, 4GB memory, onboard storage, and the innovative Connectivity Management Processor (CMP) for secure out-of-band management. Two supervisor modules provide full redundancy in each Nexus 7000 chassis.
Designed for mission-critical networks, the Cisco N7K-SUP1 enables continuous system operation with capabilities like hitless failover between redundant supervisors. The dedicated CMP allows remote troubleshooting and ‘lights out’ management without separate terminal servers. The N7K-SUP1 provides investment protection with support for 40/100GbE speeds. It runs on NX-OS software and integrates with Cisco data center management tools.
