Cisco Nexus 7700 M3-Series 12-Port 100 Gigabit Ethernet Module

Cisco Nexus 7700 M3-Series 12-Port 100 Gigabit Ethernet Module The Cisco Nexus 7000 M3-Series modules are powered by Cisco Nexus M3-Series switch-on-a-chip (SoC) application-specific integrated circuit (ASICs). The M3-Series SoC is an innovative ASIC designed by Cisco that provides a power-efficient, flexible, high-performance packet engine, making it an excellent choice for building I/O modules that power the network infrastructure for public and private cloud environments. Each I/O module uses multiple M3-Series ASICs, and each M3-Series ASIC powers a set of 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports, or 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports, called port groups.The Cisco Nexus 7000 M3-Series I/O modules provide enhanced security and scalability capabilities such as these: MAC Security (MACsec) at wire rate with 128- and 256-bit encryption on all ports at all speeds, supporting both key agreement protocols (Security Association Protocol [SAP] and MACsec Key Agreement [MKA]) in h
