The Cisco N3K-C3172PQ-XL is the extended-memory version of the Nexus 3172PQ, a 48-port 1/10 Gigabit SFP+ switch with six 40 Gigabit QSFP+ uplinks. It suits top-of-rack and aggregation roles in data center and campus networks. This unit is the front-to-back (port-side intake) airflow version: cooling air enters at the port side and leaves through the fans and power supplies.
Capacity is 1.4 Tbps with a 1 Bpps forwarding rate, a 12 MB shared packet buffer, and a 288,000-entry MAC address table. The switch carries 8 GB DRAM and 2.5 GHz CPU.
Fans and power supplies are hot-swappable and redundant, and every module in one chassis must share the same airflow direction. Fan choices are the NXA-FAN-30CFM-F (port-side exhaust) or NXA-FAN-30CFM-B (port-side intake). Power supply choices are the N2200-PAC-400W AC and N2200-PDC-400W DC (port-side exhaust) - N2200-PAC-400W-B AC and N3K-PDC-350W-B DC (port-side intake). The N3K-C3064-ACC-KIT rack kit fits this chassis. Check the fitted fan and power supply part numbers against your row's airflow before racking the switch.
If standard memory is enough, the Nexus 3172PQ-10GE is the lower-priced base version. The Nexus 3172TQ-XL is the 10GBASE-T copper companion of this model.
This seller refurbished switch is tested, working, and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty.
