N3K-C3464C - Cisco Nexus 3000 Series

N3K-C3464C Hardware Identity

N3K-C3464C is the order identifier for the Cisco Nexus 3464C, a fixed high-density programmable switch in the Nexus 3400 programmable platform. Cisco documents 64 40/100G QSFP28 ports. Optics, cables, licenses and modular components are included only when itemized in the quote.

Programmable pipeline governance

Separate ordinary switching requirements from any custom forwarding behavior intended for this programmable platform. For custom logic, preserve source ownership, compiler/tool version, pipeline resource usage, validation vectors and a rollback image. For standard NX-OS use, document why the programmable model is selected instead of a conventional fixed spine. Map all sixty-four QSFP28 interfaces with breakout, FEC and optics evidence, and keep a lab reproduction path so a pipeline or image change can be tested before it affects a dense production fabric.

Acceptance test

Load the approved forwarding profile, run known packet vectors, validate representative 40/100G links, and prove rollback to the signed baseline image.

Software and lifecycle control

Confirm whether the deployment uses standard NX-OS functions or a programmable forwarding workflow and retain the matching software/toolchain support plan.

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.
