N3K-C3264Q Overview
N3K-C3264Q 10/40GbE Fixed Platform
N3K-C3264Q is a 2RU Nexus 3264Q with 64 fixed QSFP+ ports supporting 10GbE or 40GbE operation, plus two SFP+ ports documented in Cisco's hardware guide. It also provides dedicated RJ-45 management, RS-232 console and USB interfaces.
Forwarding profile
Cisco documents 5.12Tbps switching capacity, forwarding up to 3.8bpps, line-rate Layer 2/3 traffic and 515-700ns latency. The platform uses a 16MB switch ASIC buffer, so it should not be described as the 48MB-buffer N3K-C3164Q-40GE despite their similar 64-port QSFP+ front panels.
Power and reversible airflow selection
The chassis supports port-side intake or port-side exhaust builds and two power-supply slots. One supported AC or DC supply can operate the switch and a second can provide redundancy. Cisco's ordering table includes 650W AC intake and exhaust PIDs; confirm exact AC/DC type, airflow suffix, fan direction and cords from the received labels.
Optics, breakout and software validation
Build a port-level matrix for native 40GbE, 10GbE mode, supported breakout adapters, the two SFP+ interfaces and peer-device compatibility. Validate every optic or DAC against Cisco's compatibility data for the exact NX-OS release. A QSFP+ mechanical fit does not prove supported mode or reach.
Lifecycle and service decision
Cisco records end of sale on 27 April 2020 and end of support on 30 April 2025. Procurement therefore needs a documented support alternative, spare policy, security/defect review and replacement roadmap. Do not present this platform as currently covered by standard Cisco support.
Receiving and burn-in
Verify the exact N3K-C3264Q PID, serial, NX-OS image, license, fans, both power bays, airflow and all 64 QSFP+ plus two SFP+ interfaces. Run error-counter, link-flap, temperature, PSU/fan alarm and redundancy checks under representative load, then preserve configuration and image recovery evidence.
