Difference between Cisco Nexus 3064X vs 3064PQ?

[tomstephens89]

I am specifying some refurbished hardware for use in a test lab but am struggling to find the difference between the Nexus 3064PQ and 3064X.

Looking for the 3064 which has 48 x 10Gbe SFP ports and 4 x QSFP+ slots able to run in 4x10 or single 40gbe mode. Dual AC power supplies and the reversible direction fan tray.

Can anyone help clarify this part numbering please?

Thanks for the reply. So am I correct in thinking that N3K-C3064PQ-10GX is basically the top configuration for the 3064X and comes standard with the base license, which may be upgraded to the enterprise license if I need the extra software features?

Yes correct, when you creating Bill of Materiel (BoM), you need add based on the requirement.

Ok thanks very much.

The 3064PQ-10GX is what I need then.

Theres another question here.

Why on ebay am I seeing 3064PQ-10GE AND 3064PQ-10GX?

Whats the difference between the 10GE and 10GX? Or is 10GE a misspelling by the sellers?

[balaji.bandi]

Do not go with Ebay what seller selling to you, Go with official Cisco document, is that part number match your requirement ?

For these kind of equipment always suggest to buy from valid partner for support.

I know that, I purchase through multiple reputable IT recycling vendors.

I was simply wondering what the 10GE version is, or is that not even correct and just a typo?
