Get high-density, workload isolation, and wire-rate layer 2 and 3 switching on a data-center-class, Cisco NX-OS operating system. The Cisco Nexus 3132Q Switch, part of the Cisco Unified Fabric family, is a compact, 1-rack-unit (1RU), form factor switch for top-of-rack (ToR) data center deployments.
Features and Capabilities
Flexibility and High Performance
- Provides layer 2 and 3 switching of up to 2.5 terabits per second (Tbps) and more than 950 million packets per second (mpps)
- Phyless design on all ports to optimize latency
- 32 fixed 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) Quad small form factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) ports
- Supports mobility and tenant isolation with VXLAN (with a software upgrade)
