Support for Cisco LISP allows enterprises and service providers to simplify multihomed routing and scalable
any-to-any WAN connectivity while supporting data center virtual machine mobility.
The virtual device context (VDC) feature helps enable the virtualization of a single physical device in one or
more logical devices. Each provisioned logical device is configured and managed as if it were a separate
physical device.
The 7000 F3-Series module offers exceptional security and integrated hardware support for:
Configurable Control-Plane Policing (CoPP), which protects the supervisor CPU from excessive traffic
Access control list (ACL) counters and logging capability to provide deeper packet visibility
Layer 2 to Layer 4 ACL for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic
Cisco TrustSec
®
technology and ACL processing for security group tags (SGTs)
IEEE MAC security standard (IEEE 802.1AE MACsec) on ports 41 to 48
Note: This document describes capabilities of the F3-Series modular hardware. Please consult your Cisco
representative to confirm the appropriate NX-OS release required to enable these features.
