As with the 6001 layer 2/layer 3 operation is at line-rate and total switching capacity of a chassis is 7,68 Tbit/s. The Nexus 6004-EF switch is a modular device which provides the same features as the 6004 but with the use of expansion modules in all slots of the switch. The base configuration of the 6004-EF must have 2 x 12 port 40GbE expansion modules, delivering 24 ports of 40GbE or 96 ports of 10GbE. Additional capacity can be provided by installing further expansion modules.

Cisco released the Nexus 6004X switch and renamed it to the Nexus 5696Q. Previously, the Nexus 6000 series was meant to be focused on the Cisco 40G aggregation products, and the 5500 and 5600 series on 10G. However, these switches mostly shared common hardware components, ASICs, and the same software

The Cisco Nexus 6000 range contains two models, the 6001 model and the 6004 model. They can be used as layer2 and layer3 switches and can aggregate traffic from the Fabric
