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
