The Cisco DCNM, which is called Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller from version 12, is a comprehensive management solution for NX-OS based network deployments. It provides automation, visibility and consistency for any network.
DCNM provides acceleration of any kind of network deployments such as interface, VLAN, VXLAN, SAN or IP media fabric network which is all integrated into an automation work flow within DCNM across Cisco Nexus switches and Cisco Multilayer Distributed Switching (MDS) solutions.
The Cisco NDFC not only shows what is actually deployed on NX-OS devices, it also makes it possible to create an inventory of infrastructure itself and provides information about what is connected to network infrastructure. You can see the DCNM features as listed below:
There are two types of installations: Virtual Appliance (OVA or ISO) for LAN operations and Standalone Installer (Microsoft Windows Server or Red Hat) for SAN operations.
Installation type | Small | Large |
OVA | 8 vCPUs and 24G RAM, 500G disk | 16 vCPUs and 32G RAM, 2TB Disk |
ISO | 8 vCPUs and 24G RAM, 500G disk | 16 vCPUs and 32G RAM, 2TB Disk |
Windows, Linux (standalone or virtual machine) | 8 vCPUs and 24G RAM, 2TB disk (if SAN Insight enabled) | 16 vCPUs, up to 64G RAM and 10 TB Disk (with SAN Insight) |
Each device being managed by Cisco DCNM, requires a license key that provides a Right to Manage (RTM) for a single switch. that license key (or a pack of licenses) can be installed in the Cisco DCNM server (for LAN or SAN purposes) or on the switch (only for SAN function). Moreover, the Nexus Essentials or Nexus Advantage licenses for Cisco Nexus switches also provide that RTM for a given switch on which they are installed. The Cisco DCNM server requires a perpetual license for each instance of the DCNM server. Also, with unlicensed DCNM server, customers can only use the following base features:
The trial license provides 500 SAN and 500 advanced feature licenses for 30 days without having to download or install a single file. This license will operate for any licensable switch and expires after 30 days. You must use the MAC address of the DCNM server to fetch an evaluation license or a permanent license from www.cisco.com.
Cisco DCNM also supports older Fabric Manager (FM) licenses (SAN only) that have been installed on the switch. These licenses enable high availability (HA) with up to ten management servers that manage a single fabric in parallel. However, Fabric Manager licenses are only valid for the lifetime of the switch inside the data center and expire when the switch is decommissioned from the data center. You can still order switch-based licenses as spares if you prefer the HA capability.
Services contract SKUs (CON-SAU) are required for Cisco TAC support for upgrades from one version of Cisco DCNM to another.
Cisco Data Center Network Manager is powered by Cisco and has a user friendly solution for different areas. You can get help from our experts on the price and order in variety of ways. Just by clicking on “order now”, the required information will be sent to soon.
For LAN deployment, the following features needs Cisco DCNM advanced feature licenses installed:
For SAN deployment, the following features needs Cisco DCNM advanced feature licenses installed:
All Cisco DCNM licenses are available here at Cisco License and can be ordered at Cisco License website. For further information about DCNM licenses and features, you can contact with our sales specialists.
