The Cisco Nexus B22 Blade Fabric Extender (N2K-B22HP-P) is an expansion module designed to integrate HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures (c3000 and c7000) seamlessly into a Cisco Unified Fabric. It operates as a remote line card for a parent Cisco Nexus switch (such as the Nexus 5000, 6000, 7000, or 9000 Series), effectively extending the parent switch's fabric into the blade chassis. This architecture simplifies data center operations by reducing management points and cabling. The B22HP provides 16 internal 1/10GBASE-KR host interfaces for blade servers and 8 external 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ fabric interfaces for uplinks to the parent switch. It supports 10Gb Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), enabling LAN and SAN consolidation.
