Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

    Introduction

    This document describes the supported hardware and software requirements along with recommended Cisco Nexus Operating System (NX-OS) for Cisco Nexus Data Broker (NDB) 3.0.0.

      

    Prerequisites

    Requirements

    There are no specific requirements for this document.

    Components Used

    The information in this document is based on the matrix which is valid for NDB 2.0.0 through 3.0.0 and is intended to be inclusive of all hardware/software/configuration modes available on NDB as of 3.0.0.

    The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

    Background Information

    NDB utilizes data center class switches to forward traffic based on policy rather than based on traditional forwarding methods - Media Access Control (MAC) address switching. As a result of this, specific configurations are required in order for the specialized configurations that NDB pushes down to the switches to function properly. Within the wide variety of NDB supported switches are also many different types of Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). Because of this, there are different recommended versions and minimum versions of software based on resolved caveats and functionality.
