N3K-C3132Q-XL is Cisco's extended-memory Nexus 3132Q-XL. The 1RU platform has 32 QSFP+ ports; each cage can operate as native 40 Gigabit Ethernet or break out to four 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections when supported cabling, optics and NX-OS configuration are used.
Cisco also documents four SFP+ ports, but these are internally multiplexed with the first QSFP+ port and are not an additional independent port group in every configuration. The XL variant carries 8 GB of system memory and 16 GB of log flash. Rated switching capacity is 2.5 Tbps with forwarding up to 1.4 bpps.
The chassis uses two redundant power supplies and four fans in a 3+1 arrangement. The base PID does not establish included transceivers, breakout cables, airflow direction or feature licenses. Verify the installed PSU and fan orientation, optics, software release and license requirements before procurement.
Cisco lists April 27, 2020 as the end-of-sale date and April 30, 2025 as the last date of support. Its lifecycle notice identifies N3K-C3132C-Z as the migration PID; replacement suitability still depends on interface, optics and software requirements.
