Sal Lopez, profile picture
Sal Lopez

The document discusses Cisco Nexus 1000V and the Nexus 1010 appliance. It provides an overview of the Nexus 1000V architecture, comparing it to a physical modular switch. It describes how the Nexus 1000V uses Virtual Supervisor Modules (VSMs) and Virtual Ethernet Modules (VEMs) to replace the functionality of physical linecards and supervisors. It also discusses how the Nexus 1010 appliance allows hosting of VSMs on a physical device for improved performance and redundancy.
