N3K-C3132Q-40GE - Cisco Nexus 3000 Series

N3K-C3132Q-40GE Hardware Identity

N3K-C3132Q-40GE is the order identifier for the Cisco Nexus 3132Q, a fixed 40 Gigabit Ethernet switch in the Nexus 3000 Series. Cisco documents 32 QSFP+ ports and 4 SFP+ ports. Optics, cables, licenses and modular components are included only when itemized in the quote.

Legacy 40G migration map

Inventory every QSFP+ circuit, breakout fan-out and four SFP+ service ports, then identify which links can move to a current 100G-capable platform. Preserve VLAN, routing, port-channel and peer dependencies in a circuit-by-circuit cutover sheet. Because the official support window has ended, availability of used hardware cannot be treated as supportability. The decision record must name the replacement model, optical adaptations, configuration translation and rollback window before this switch is extended in production.

Acceptance test

Verify the exact chassis PID and support status, test the approved legacy image, and prove one migrated 40G path plus any 4x10G breakout before acceptance.

Software and lifecycle control

Cisco lists this exact PID as obsolete after its support milestone; procurement needs an exception and a documented replacement path.

Quote checks

• Match the chassis PID, serial, airflow and power option to the received unit.
• List every transceiver, cable, breakout, license and support entitlement separately.
• Record the approved NX-OS or ACI mode, image checksum and rollback path.
• Preserve the port map, peer ownership and failure-test evidence with the asset.
