SUPERVISOR 2/2E Front Panel
VDC Support on Sup2/2E
CPU Shares (VDC control groups)
• Enables allocation of specified amounts of the switch’s CPU to a specific
VDC
• Enables prioritization of VDCs and helps ensure that critical VDCs have
access to the CPU
• Prevents lower-priority VDCs from negatively affecting higher-priority VDCs.
Number of VDC’s Supported
• 1 admin VDC on Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Supervisor 2 and Supervisor 2E
• 8 VDCs on Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Supervisor 2E
F2 Line Card
• Need Cisco NX-OS 6.0 or later
• Need Fabric-2 Module
• Two 55 GB traces to each fabric module – Up to 550 Gbps in each direction
• May not mix modules in VDC when using F2 line cards. All I/O modules must
be F2’s
• Performs routing
