Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches overview The Cisco Nexus® 3000 Series Switches are a comprehensive portfolio of 1, 10, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet switches built from a Switch-on-a-Chip (SoC) architecture. Introduced in April 2011, this series of switches provides line-rate Layer 2 and 3 performance and is suitable for Top-of-the-Rack (ToR) architecture. Cisco Nexus 3132C-Z product overview The Cisco Nexus 3132C-Z is the 32-port 100-Gbps programmable architecture switch, enabled with major data center features designed for software-defined data centers. This 1-Rack-Unit (1RU) model offers wirerate...

Cisco NX-OS software overview Cisco NX-OS is a data center–class operating system built with modularity, resiliency, and serviceability at its foundation. Cisco NX-OS helps ensure continuous availability and sets the standard for mission-critical data center environments. The self-healing and highly modular design of Cisco NX-OS makes zero-impact operations a reality and provides exceptional operational flexibility. Focused on the requirements of the data center, Cisco NX-OS provides a robust and comprehensive feature set that meets the networking requirements of present and future data centers....

Purpose-built NX-OS operating system with comprehensive, proven innovations ◦ Power-on Autoprovisioning (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. ◦ Ethanalyzer is a built-in packet analyzer for monitoring and troubleshooting control-plane traffic...

Transceiver and cabling options The Cisco Nexus 3132C-Z has 32 QSFP28 ports. QSFP28 technology allows a smooth transition from 40 to 100 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure in data centers. Each of the Cisco Nexus 3132C-Z switch’s QSFP28 ports can operate in native 100, 4 x 25, 4 x 10, or 2 x 50 Gigabit Ethernet mode. In addition to the QSFP28 technology, the Cisco Nexus 3132C-Z also supports 40/100G Bidi to help customers run 40G and 100G at the same time in their Data Centers. This switch supports both fiber and copper cabling solutions for these two modes. For low-cost cabling, copper-based 40-Gbps...
