FAQs

Q: What is the LAN Enterprise license included with this model?
A: The LAN Enterprise license (N3K-LAN1K9) provides advanced Layer 3 routing features including OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, policy-based routing, and HSRP/VRRP gateway redundancy protocols. It requires the base license to function.

Q: What does the BA designation in the SKU mean?
A: The BA designation indicates reverse airflow (port-side intake), where air enters through the ports and exits through the fan tray and power supplies. This is designed for cold-aisle containment data center configurations.

Q: Can the QSFP+ ports be used for 10G connectivity?
A: Yes, each QSFP+ port can operate in native 40G mode or be broken out into 4x 10G connections using QSFP-to-4xSFP+ splitter cables, providing flexible uplink options.

Q: What makes this switch suitable for low-latency applications?
A: The Nexus 3064-X is a true phy-less design optimized for ultra-low latency, making it ideal for high-frequency trading, real-time analytics, and performance-critical data center workloads requiring sub-microsecond latency.

Q: Is this switch compatible with existing Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure?
A: Yes, the SFP+ ports support auto-negotiation at 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gbps, allowing seamless integration with legacy Gigabit Ethernet networks and migration to 10G infrastructure.
