N3K-C3172TQ-10GT identifies the Cisco Nexus 3172TQ, a fixed 1-RU 10GBASE-T leaf switch in the Nexus 3100. Cisco documents 48 10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports and 6 QSFP+ ports. Optional modules, optics, cables, licenses and support are included only when explicitly itemized.
Keep this non-XL product distinct from N3K-C3172TQ-XL: receiving must verify the exact PID and installed resources rather than borrowing the XL specification. Map each copper attachment and identify devices that can move to newer 100M/1/2.5/5/10GBASE-T interfaces. The six QSFP+ uplinks require a separate media and breakout plan. Define a staged rack migration with a port-by-port rollback sheet, because replacing forty-eight copper links in one window creates avoidable cabling and negotiation risk.
Confirm the non-XL chassis label, exercise representative cable lengths and QSFP+ paths, and complete a pilot migration to the documented successor family.
Cisco's lifecycle notice lists this exact PID and a Nexus 9300 replacement; retain a dated migration and support decision.
