C1-N3K-C3232C Overview
C1-N3K-C3232C Cisco ONE Order Scope
C1-N3K-C3232C is listed by Cisco as the Cisco ONE Nexus 3232C 32 x 100G PID. The C1 prefix identifies the commercial software ordering context; Cisco's hardware documentation identifies the underlying switch chassis as N3K-C3232C. Quotes should state both the physical chassis contents and the software entitlement.
Port Modes and Performance
The 1RU platform has 32 QSFP28 ports. Cisco documents 10, 25, 40, 50 and 100 Gbps operation, with up to 128 x 25 Gbps through breakout. Published platform figures are up to 6.4 Tbps switching capacity and 3.3 billion packets per second, with a four-core CPU, 8 GB DRAM and 16 MB dynamic buffer allocation.
Power, Cooling and Lifecycle
The chassis supports two redundant power supplies and four redundant fans in a 3+1 arrangement. Cisco offers port-side intake and port-side exhaust components, which must be matched. The official model page lists August 31, 2027 as the end-of-support date, and Cisco identifies Nexus 9336C-FX2 as the lifecycle replacement for the base 3232C.
- Confirm the Cisco ONE software entitlement and installed NX-OS release.
- Map every QSFP28 port to the required native or breakout speed and supported optic.
- Specify matching airflow for both power supplies and all fan modules.
- Review the 9336C-FX2 migration path before expanding a legacy 3232C deployment.
