Overview
Improve Scalability, Efficiency, and Flexibility
The Cisco Nexus 5696Q is a high-density, wire-rate, Layer 2 and Layer 3
switch. It offers Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) support with 10, 40, and 100
Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports. These switches provide modular expansion slots for
increased scalability, providing investment protection for future technologies.
They also facilitate high scalability, operational efficiency, and design
flexibility for traditional, virtualized, and cloud environments.
Features and Capabilities
The Cisco Nexus 5696Q is optimized for leaf and spine architectures, compact
aggregation, high-performance 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet server access, 100 GE
uplinks, and high-density Cisco Fabric Extender (FEX) aggregation
deployments.
