Note: TrustSec SGT on F3 Series Modules: F3 Series I/O modules require a dot1q header to be present for the proper processing and transport of SGT-tagged packets. For Layer 2 switch ports, use trunked interfaces instead of an access VLAN. Layer 3 interfaces should be configured as L3 subinterfaces to force dot1q over the Layer 3 interconnection.
The Cisco N77-F348XP-23 Nexus 7700 F3-Series Ethernet Module is a high-density, high-performance line card designed for compatible Cisco Nexus 7700 Series switches. Featuring 48 x 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP/SFP+ ports, the module provides flexible, scalable fiber connectivity for enterprise data centers, cloud infrastructure, network aggregation, and service provider environments.
Built on the advanced Cisco F3-Series wire-rate architecture, the N77-F348XP-23 delivers low-latency, hardware-based packet forwarding for demanding Layer 2 and Layer 3 workloads. Support for both 1GbE and 10GbE connectivity enables organizations to consolidate network infrastructure, migrate from Gigabit Ethernet to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and scale bandwidth as application requirements grow.
Integrated with Cisco NX-OS through the host Nexus 7700 platform, the module supports advanced networking capabilities including IPv4, IPv6, MPLS, FabricPath, VLANs, multicast, PortChannel, LACP, advanced QoS, access control lists, and network segmentation. Additional technologies such as VXLAN and virtualization features may be supported depending on the chassis, software release, and network configuration.
The module's 48-port SFP/SFP+ architecture supports compatible Cisco optical transceivers, providing flexible connectivity options for different fiber types, transmission distances, and network designs. This high port density makes the N77-F348XP-23 an efficient solution for data center core and aggregation deployments requiring scalable 1GbE and 10GbE connectivity.
Designed for mission-critical network environments, the Cisco N77-F348XP-23 integrates with the high-availability architecture of the Nexus 7700 Series and supports Online Insertion and Removal (OIR) for simplified maintenance and reduced service disruption.
Ideal for data center networking, cloud infrastructure, enterprise core switching, network aggregation, virtualized environments, and service provider networks, the Cisco N77-F348XP-23 Nexus 7700 48-Port 1/10GbE F3-Series Ethernet Module delivers high-density connectivity, wire-rate performance, and enterprise-class scalability for modern network infrastructures.
