The Cisco Nexus 3132Q, 3132Q-X, and 3132Q-XL Switches are dense, high-performance, 40-Gbps Layer 2 and 3 switches. They are members of the Cisco Nexus 3100 platform. These second-generation Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches offer improved port density, scalability, and features compared to the first-generation switches. The Cisco Nexus 3132Q, 3132Q-X, and 3132Q-XL come in a compact one-Rack-Unit (1RU) form factor and run the industry-leading Cisco® NX‑OS Software operating system, providing customers with comprehensive features and functions that are widely deployed. They support both forward and reverse airflow (port-side exhaust and port-side intake) schemes with AC and DC power inputs. The Cisco Nexus 3132 are well suited for data centers that require a cost-effective, power-efficient line-rate Layer 2 and 3 access or leaf switch.
The Cisco switch N3K-C3132Q-40GX with 32x 40GB QSFP+ ports and back-to-front airflow design. With a switching capacity of 2.5 Tbps, it can handle large amounts of data traffic efficiently. The forwarding rate of 1.4 bpps ensures fast packet delivery without any delays,This switch also boasts an impressive MAC address table size of up to 288,000 entries, allowing seamless communication between connected devices in the network,With its advanced features and capabilities, the switch provides reliable connectivity for demanding networking environments such as data centers or enterprise networks.
