You're referring to the Cisco Nexus 1000V!

The Cisco Nexus 1000V is a virtual Ethernet switch that runs on top of VMware vSphere and other virtualization platforms. It provides a virtualized networking infrastructure for virtual machines (VMs) and allows for the creation of virtual networks (VNs) that are isolated from the physical network.

Some key features of the Cisco Nexus 1000V include:

  1. Virtualization: The Nexus 1000V is a virtual switch that runs on top of the hypervisor, allowing for the creation of virtual networks and the isolation of VMs.
  2. Virtual Network (VN) support: The Nexus 1000V supports the creation of virtual networks, which are isolated from the physical network and can be used to segregate VMs into different networks.
  3. Virtual Machine (VM) support: The Nexus 1000V supports the creation of virtual machines, which can be connected to virtual networks and isolated from each other.
  4. Network Virtualization: The Nexus 1000V provides network virtualization capabilities, allowing for the creation of virtual networks and the isolation of VMs.
  5. Security: The Nexus 1000V provides security features such as access control lists (ACLs), firewall rules, and intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS).
  6. High Availability: The Nexus 1000V provides high availability features such as redundancy, failover, and clustering.
  7. Scalability: The Nexus 1000V is designed to scale with large virtualized environments, supporting thousands of VMs and virtual networks.

The Cisco Nexus 1000V is widely used in data centers and cloud environments to provide virtualized networking infrastructure for VMs and virtual networks.
