N3K-C3132Q-40GE Overview
The Cisco Nexus 3132Q-40GE is a 40 Gbps Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) switch with 32 Enhanced QSFP (QSFP+) ports. The Cisco N3K-C3132Q-40GE also has 4 SFP+ ports that are internally multiplexed with the first QSFP port.
Each QSFP+ port can operate in native 40-Gbps or 4 x 10-Gbps mode, with up to a maximum of 104 x 10-Gbps ports. The switch comes in a compact 1RU form factor and runs the Cisco NX-OS Software operating system.
The Cisco N3K-C3132Q-40GE provides line-rate Layer 2 and 3 traffic throughput on all ports. It is designed for high-performance data center environments and supports features like Virtual Port Channel (vPC) technology and Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) routing.
