Information About N3K-C3172PQ-10GE
The N3K-C3172PQ-10GE is part of the Cisco Nexus 3100 Series, optimized for ultra-low-latency switching in high-performance computing and cloud applications. It supports 32 ports per EtherChannel, making it ideal for dense server connectivity or spine-leaf architecture designs. Equipped with 4 GB of system memory and a 12 MB shared buffer, the switch ensures smooth traffic handling under heavy loads. It includes 16 GB of boot flash for image storage and system operations.
Key Features:
-
High-Density 10G Switching: Optimized for top-of-rack deployments and low-latency environments.
-
32-Port EtherChannel Support: Enhances throughput and network flexibility.
-
4 GB System Memory + 16 GB Boot Flash: Supports high performance and software resiliency.
-
12 MB Shared Buffer: Smooths out bursty traffic and improves QoS under congestion.
-
Dual Power Supplies: Ensures redundancy and uptime for mission-critical operations.
-
Energy Efficient: Low typical power usage (143W) with ample headroom (293W max).
-
Compact 1RU Design: Easy integration into existing racks and dense data center setups.
The N3K-C3172PQ-10GE delivers the speed, scalability, and stability needed for modern virtualization, containerized workloads, and high-throughput infrastructure.
