Cisco FabricPath Multi-
Topology Support
Topology Support
Cisco FabricPath is a Cisco NX-OS innovation that brings the stability and scalability of Layer 3 routing to
Layer 2 switching. Cisco FabricPath offers a simplified network operation with significant reduction in operating
expenses (OpEx). Cisco FabricPath eliminates the need for configuration of Spanning Tree Protocol.
Layer 2 switching. Cisco FabricPath offers a simplified network operation with significant reduction in operating
expenses (OpEx). Cisco FabricPath eliminates the need for configuration of Spanning Tree Protocol.
FabricPath Multi-Topology support allows the creation of two distinct topologies on the same FabricPath
infrastructure with each VLAN being mapped to a unique topology. This enables traffic engineering in the
FabricPath network and also creates a distinct and segregated network with its own set of VLANs and the
security associated with such designs.

● Increased number of entries in the IGMP snooping table of up to 8000 (applicable only to 5500 Series)
Reserved VLAN Remapping
Capability
Capability
Cisco NX-OS 5.2(1)N1(1) supports redefinition of the reserved VLAN range of the Nexus 5000 series switch in
order to avoid conflicts with VLANs already in use in the network.
order to avoid conflicts with VLANs already in use in the network.
Increased Host Route support
For the Generation 2 Layer 3 module, Cisco NX-OS 5.2(1)N1(1) will:
● Increase IPv4 host routes to 16,000
● Increase IPv6 host routes to 8000
● Increase IPv6 host routes to 8000
IEEE 1588 Precision Time
Protocol
Protocol
Precision Time Protocol (PTP; IEEE 1588) provides accurate clock synchronization and improved data
correlation with network captures and system events. Using this standard multiple network connections can be
used to accurately bridge the synchronization information from one network to another (referred to as
Boundary Clock function).

Cisco NX-OS Release 5.2(1)N1(1) will add this Boundary Clock support for IEEE 1588 PTP to the Cisco
Nexus 5500 Series Switches.

ACL Logging on Management
Interfaces
Interfaces
ACL log feature allows the user to monitor flows that hit specific ACLs. User can configure specific Access
Control Entries (ACEs) with logging option. When such an option is configured, statistics for each flow that
matches the permit or deny conditions of the ACL entry are logged in software.
