The Cisco Nexus 3550-H Hydra is Nexus’s highest density Layer 1 switch. Unlike traditional network switches that operate at the data-link layer (Layer 2), the Cisco Nexus 3550-H Hydra operates at the physical network layer (Layer 1). Connections through the device are made electrically through a matrix switch. This allows the device to tap into connections (for network monitoring), patch connections between ports (for reconfiguration), and fanout connections from one port to many (for high-speed applications), at nearly zero latency (<5ns). The Cisco Nexus 3550-H Hydra features an all-new management platform based on the Cisco Nexus 3550-F Fusion product series. The Cisco Nexus 3550-H Hydra features a powerful x86-based management CPU, dual (1G and 10G) Ethernet management interfaces, USB- and RS232-based console access, and 10Gbps access from the management CPU to the data plane. It also offers high-quality PPS- and GPS-based time synchronization options for inline packet timestamping. Every port on the Cisco Nexus 3550-H Hydra is monitored for vital packet statistics, including the number of packets/bytes transmitted/received, and transmit/receive errors. The device also provides deep diagnostics on each of its 20 QSFP-DD ports including light levels, operating temperatures, transceiver capabilities, and more. All of these statistics are available at no latency cost on the critical path.
