Benefits of the Cisco Nexus 7000 M-Series I/O Modules with XL Option include the following:
• Features and functions: Features and functions are equivalent to those of the non-XL version modules. Customers can enable a larger table size through the Scalable Feature license when needed. The Scalable Feature license is not required to operate the Cisco Nexus 7000 M-Series I/O Modules with XL Option.
• Ease of sparing: Use of a single common hardware base reduces the need to stock multiple versions of a module in depots and in partner and customer environments.
• Upgrade in place: Customers can defer costs using the flexible chassis license to upgrade an entire system when needed without having to upgrade the hardware or replace the modules.
• Simplified ordering: Customers can purchase one module with the knowledge that should they later need to use larger forwarding tables because of a change in design or scaling, the hardware will be ready.
• Flexible deployment: The same module can be deployed in all environments and configured correctly, either with or without the license to enable the incremental feature.
The Cisco Nexus 7000 M-Series I/O Modules with XL Option can operate without a Scalable Feature license (non-XL mode). When the Scalable Feature license is installed, the modules will operate in XL mode with larger table enabled (up to 1 million IPv4 routes).
The Cisco Nexus 7000 M-Series I/O Modules with XL Option require Cisco NX-OS 5.x or above. Please refer to the data sheets for minimum NX-OS release requirements. The non-XL modules are compatible with Cisco NX-OS 5.x and 6.x releases and will continue to operate as normal when the system is upgraded to these NX-OS releases to support the XL modules.
