The Cisco Nexus® 7000 M1-Series 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet Modules with XL Option are highly scalable modules designed for performance-driven, mission-critical Ethernet networks. The modules use the M1-XL forwarding engine, providing a throughput of up to 60 million packets per second (Mpps) and a large Forwarding Information Base (FIB), making them excellent for deployment at an Internet exchange point (IXP), a service provider, or a large enterprise.

The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches comprise a modular data center-class product line designed for highly scalable 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks, with a fabric architecture that scales beyond 15 terabits per second (Tbps), and are designed to support high-density 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet deployments. Designed to meet the requirements of the most mission-critical network environments, these switches deliver continuous system operation and virtualized pervasive services. The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series is powered by the proven Cisco® NXOS operating system, with enhanced features to deliver real-time system upgrades with exceptional manageability and serviceability. Its innovative unified fabric design is purpose built to support consolidation of IP, storage, and interprocess communication (IPC) networks on a single Ethernet fabric.
