Overview of the Cisco Nexus 3132Q Switches

The Cisco Nexus 3132Q (N3K-C3132Q-40GE) is a 1 rack unit (RU) switch with 32 40-Gigabit enhanced
quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP+) ports and 4 SFP+ ports that are internally multiplexed with the
first QSFP+ port. Each QSFP+ port can operate in native 40-Gigabit or 4 x 10-Gigabit modes.
The Cisco Nexus 3132Q-V (N3k-C3132Q-V) is a 1 rack unit (RU) switch with 32 40-Gigabit enhanced quad
small form-factor pluggable (QSFP+) ports and 4 SFP+ ports that are internally multiplexed with the first
QSFP+ port. Each QSFP+ port can operate in native 40-Gigabit or 4 x 10-Gigabit modes. This switch features
support of VxLAN routing, 33% more packet buffer, 2x system memory for object-model programming, and
4x ingress ACL.
The Cisco Nexus 3132Q-X (N3K-C3132Q-40GX) is a 1 rack unit (RU) switch with 32 40-Gigabit enhanced
quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP+) ports and 4 SFP+ ports that are internally multiplexed with the
first QSFP+ port. Each QSFP+ port can operate in native 40-Gigabit or 4 x 10-Gigabit modes.
The Cisco Nexus 3132Q-XL (N3K-C3132Q-XL) is a 1 rack unit (RU) switch with 8GB of RAM and dual-core
2.5GHz x86 CPUs and 32 40-Gigabit enhanced quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP+) ports and 4 SFP+
ports that are internally multiplexed with the first QSFP+ port. Each QSFP+ port can operate in native
40-Gigabit or 4 x 10-Gigabit modes
These switches each have 1 management port, 1 console port, and 1 USB port and support both port-side
exhaust and port-side intake airflow schemes. These switches require one AC or DC power supply for
operations, but can have a second power supply for redundancy.
