N3K-C3132Q-XL, Cisco Nexus Switch, 32xQSFP+ ports/1RU/No PSU

N3K-C3132Q-XL?is the Nexus 3132Q, 32 QSFP+ ports, 1RU switch. The Cisco Nexus 3132Q, 3132Q-X, and 3132Q-XL Switches are dense, high-performance, 40-Gbps Layer 2 and 3 switches. They are members of the Cisco Nexus 3100 platform. These second-generation Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches offer improved port density, scalability, and features compared to the first-generation switches. The Cisco Nexus 3132Q, 3132Q-X, and 3132Q-XL come in a compact one-rack-unit (1RU) form factor and run the industry-leading Cisco NX?OS Software operating system, providing customers with comprehensive features and functions that are widely deployed. They support both forward and reverse airflow (port-side exhaust and port-side intake) schemes with AC and DC power inputs. The Cisco Nexus 3132 are well suited for data centers that require a cost-effective, power-efficient line-rate Layer 2 and 3 access or leaf switch.

Product Details

The Cisco Nexus N3K-C3132Q-XL?provides the following main benefits:

��???Wire-rate Layer 2 and 3 switching on all ports

??????Layer 2 and 3 switching of up to 2.5 terabits per second (Tbps) and up to 1.4 billion packets per second (bpps) is provided in a compact 1RU form-factor switch.

��???High availability

??????Virtual-port-channel (vPC) technology provides Layer 2 multipathing through the elimination of Spanning Tree Protocol and enables fully utilized bisectional bandwidth and simplified Layer 2 logical topologies without the need to change the existing management and deployment models.

??????The 64-way equal-cost multipath (ECMP) routing enables the use of Layer 3 fat-tree designs and allows organizations to prevent network bottlenecks, increase resiliency, and add capacity with little network disruption.

??????The switches offer fast reboot capabilities.

??????Power-supply units (PSUs) and fans are hot swappable.

��???Flexibility

??????The QSFP port can be configured to work as four 10-Gbps ports, offering deployment flexibility with maximum of 104 x 10-Gbps ports.

��???High performance

??????Both switches deliver low nominal latency, which enables customers to implement high-performance infrastructure for high-frequency trading (HFT) workloads. Customers can also achieve faster application performance because of the serialization savings from switching at 40 Gigabit Ethernet speeds.

��???Purpose-built NX-OS operating system with comprehensive, proven innovations

??????Power-on auto provisioning (POAP) enables touchless bootup and configuration of the switch, drastically reducing provisioning time.

??????Cisco Embedded Event Manager (EEM) and Python scripting enable automation and remote operations in the data center.

??????Advanced buffer monitoring reports real-time buffer utilization per port and per queue, which allows organizations to monitor traffic bursts and application traffic patterns.

??????EtherAnalyzer is a built-in packet analyzer for monitoring and troubleshooting control-plane traffic and is based on the popular Wireshark open-source network protocol analyzer.

??????Precision Time Protocol (PTP; IEEE 1588) provides accurate clock synchronization and improved data correlation with network packet capture and system events.

??????Complete Layer 3 unicast and multicast routing protocol suites are supported, including Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Routing Information Protocol Version 2 (RIPv2), Protocol-Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM), Source-Specific Multicast (SSM), and Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP).
