Cisco ONE Nexus 3172TQ Switch - L3 - managed - 48 x 10GBase-T + 6 x QSFP+ - rack-mountable (C1-N3K-C3172TQ)
The Cisco Nexus 3172TQ Switch is a dense, high-performance Layer 2 and 3, 10- and 40-Gbps switches that are members of the Cisco Nexus 3100 switch platform. The switch offers improved port density and scalability in compact one-rack-unit (1RU) form factors. The Cisco Nexus 3172 switch runs the industry-leading Cisco NX-OS Software operating system that helps ensure continuous availability and sets the standard for mission-critical data center environments. It is well suited for data centers that require cost-effective, power-efficient line-rate Layer 2 and 3 top-of-rack (ToR) switches. Also support forward and reverse airflow schemes (port-side exhaust and port-side intake) with AC and DC power inputs.
