Working on selecting a switch for an application, and we have not used Cisco up to this point but are looking at utilizing them in order to have a common platform with other workgroups that utilize them. Have a few questions that I could not find the answer to on Cisco's website easily.
The specific application is fairly basic - it will be used for serving data from a local server to multiple local computers, as well as perform local switching, routing, etc across a handful of VLANs. The application requires a total of 52 RJ45 connections, of which at least 14 are 10GbE.
Plan is to utilize a single Cisco 9300-48UXM (48 ports total, 12 mGig 10GbE) plus a C9300-NM-4M (4 port mGig) Expansion Module to meet the port count required without having multiple switches.
Any help with any or all of the questions below is appreciated:
Any issue with using the ports on the uplink/expansion module as a normal port and setting it up for use on specific VLANs?
When the 4 port mGig RJ45 Network Module (C9300-NM-4M) is used with a C9300-48UXM, which ASICs would each port route to? It is unclear to me whether they all route to ASIC 0, ASIC 1, or split between the two.
Similarly is there a breakdown for which core of each ASIC each port connects to for the switch? I was able to find which ASIC for each port on the switch but not which core on this specific model.
What is the core to core interconnect bandwidth for the UADP 2.0 ASICs utilized? I know ASIC to ASIC uses the internal Stackwise interface.
Is there any efficiency gained utilizing the mGig uplink module over the dedicated mGig ports on the switch for connecting to the server-switch vs switch-pc?
