FAQs

Q: What is the difference between the BD and BA variants?
A: The BD variant features reversed airflow (port-side intake) with dual DC power supplies, while the BA variant has forward airflow (port-side exhaust) with AC power supplies. The BD model is designed for data centers with hot-aisle/cold-aisle configurations requiring reversed cooling.

Q: What routing protocols are supported with the LAN Enterprise license?
A: The LAN Enterprise license enables advanced Layer 3 routing protocols including OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, PIM-SM for multicast, policy-based routing (PBR), and gateway redundancy protocols (HSRP, VRRP, GLBP).

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

Q: Is this switch suitable for low-latency applications?
A: Yes, the Nexus 3064-X is a PHY-less switch optimized for ultra-low latency, making it ideal for high-frequency trading (HFT), financial services, and other latency-sensitive applications.

Q: Does this switch support Virtual PortChannel (vPC)?
A: Yes, the switch supports vPC, which provides Layer 2 multipathing, eliminates Spanning Tree Protocol limitations, and enables fully utilized bisectional bandwidth for scalable data center topologies.
