N5K-C5672UP - Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch

N5K-C5672UP Hardware Identity

N5K-C5672UP identifies the Cisco Nexus 5672UP, a fixed 1-RU Ethernet, Fibre Channel and FCoE switch in the Nexus 5600 unified-port platform. Cisco documents 32 regular 1/10G SFP+ Ethernet ports, 16 unified SFP+ ports and 6 fixed 40G QSFP+ ports. Optional modules, optics, cables, licenses and support are included only when explicitly itemized.

Sixteen-port FC/FCoE personality map

Document the operating personality of each of the sixteen unified ports: Ethernet, FCoE or native Fibre Channel at the approved speed. The other thirty-two SFP+ positions and six 40G QSFP+ uplinks need independent peer, media and breakout records. A port-mode change can affect storage as well as LAN traffic, so preserve SAN fabric ownership, zoning dependencies and maintenance coordination. Measure lossless Ethernet settings and Fibre Channel behavior separately, and keep a migration design that can split converged roles if the successor does not reproduce the same unified-port model.

Acceptance test

Bring up one Ethernet, one FCoE and one native Fibre Channel path where used, verify DCB/PFC and zoning, then test a 40G uplink failure.

Lifecycle boundary

Reconcile the NX-OS lifecycle notice, unified-port feature support and a replacement plan before extending converged LAN/SAN use.

Receiving controls

• Match the exact PID, serial, installed modules, airflow and power configuration.
• Record every port personality, optic, cable, breakout and peer relationship.
• Confirm NX-OS or ACI mode, image checksum, license and controller compatibility.
• Attach failure-test evidence and a dated migration decision to the asset record.
