The Cisco Nexus 9000v is a virtual platform that is designed to simulate the control plane aspects of a network element running Cisco Nexus 9000 software. The Cisco Nexus 9000v shares the same software image running on Cisco Nexus 9000 hardware platform although no specific hardware emulation is implemented. When the software runs as a virtual machine, line card (LC) ASIC provisioning or any interaction from the control plane to hardware ASIC is handled by the Cisco Nexus 9000v software data plane.
