Cisco N5K-C5548UP-FA is the Nexus 5548UP front-to-back airflow order. It has thirty-two fixed unified ports and one expansion slot in 1RU. The advertised forty-eight-port platform capacity requires expansion; it is not the fixed interface count supplied by the base chassis.
The official order description specifies two 750 W AC power supplies and fan trays. Match those factory facts to the actual quoted unit and verify compatible replacement parts. Do not borrow the higher power-supply rating or three-slot layout of the larger 5596UP when preparing an installation plan.
Cisco documents a Layer 3 daughter-card option for the 5548UP separately from the interface expansion module. Confirm the installed daughter card, required software and licenses when routing is part of the requirement. The existence of the chassis or an open slot does not establish that this option is present.
The lifecycle notice ended sale on May 5, 2019 and lists May 31, 2024 as the final support date, which has passed. It includes migration rows naming N5K-C5672UP-16G and N9K-C93180YC-FX. Check the intended interface and feature needs, and each successor lifecycle, rather than assuming the two alternatives are interchangeable.
