FAQs

Q: What deployment scenarios is the N3K-C3264Q best suited for?
A: The N3K-C3264Q is designed for high-performance data centre environments, particularly top-of-rack and end-of-row deployments requiring ultra-low latency and high-density 40GbE connectivity for big data, cloud, and virtualisation workloads.

Q: Does this switch support 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity?
A: Yes, each QSFP+ port can be configured in breakout mode to provide 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, offering deployment flexibility for mixed 10GbE and 40GbE environments.

Q: What licensing is required for advanced Layer 3 features?
A: The N3K-C3264Q includes base Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 features in the default system software. Advanced Layer 3 IP unicast and IP multicast routing features require additional Cisco Nexus 9000 series licenses (N3K-LAN1K9).

Q: Is the N3K-C3264Q compatible with Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS?
A: Yes, the switch runs the same modern Cisco NX-OS software image used by Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches, simplifying image management and providing a consistent operating environment across platforms.

Q: What high availability features does this switch offer?
A: The N3K-C3264Q includes redundant hot-swappable power supplies, redundant fan configuration (3+1), virtual Port Channel (vPC) support for device-level redundancy, and 64-way Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing for traffic distribution.
