Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches

The NEXUS 9000 series is well suited to data center issues. It is ideal for extended L2 without spanning tree issues, as the VTEP is as close as possible to the equipment. Cisco provides various types of controllers for configuring these switches as fabric switches in simple and complex environments.

This equipment is really designed for data centers. For a campus, it is better to turn to the Catalyst product lines.

Nexus 9000 works together with Netskope to provide connectivity between data centers, the cloud, and remote branches. Both provide scalability, redundant architecture, and security to the network. In some sense both provide end to end security and the ability to store and troubleshoot packet captures to improve operations and security postures.
