N3K-C3064TQ-32T ports question

Hello,

Can someone share a light about N3K-C3064TQ-32T and license restrictions.

As written about this device it has 32 cooper ports available and can be unlocked to 48 via license.

OK, I fine with 32 cooper ports, but I can't understand from docs is there 4 QSFP ports available or I need purchase some license?

I need configure vPC between pair of N3K-C3064TQ-32T and want to use one QSFP port for vPC link and one QSFP + QSFP-4SFP10G-CUxM Passive splitter cable to connect each device to upstream switch which has 10G ports.

Hi,

You don't need any license to use the QSFP ports.  You can use all 4.

So you can use one or 2 of the QSPF ports and connect the 3ks together for you VPC peer-link and use breakout cables for the other 2 to connect to your 10gig devices.

Hi,

Just so you know, there is a Twinax cable for QSFPs.  If your devices are located close to each other (within10 meters) you can use that, as it is much more cost effective than using a regular 40Gig fiber patch.

Thanks, found QSFP-H40G-CUxM

btw, can i use that twinpax cable and breakout QSFP port as 4x10G?

For example i want:

1. Use 3x10G in port-channel as vPC peer-link

2. Use 1x10G as vPC peer-keepalive

In this case I can use one QSFP port for whole vPC.
