Hi,

I am looking for suggestions for Nexus 3k switch recommendation. Can someone please suggest a model.

 

Here is my requirement:

  • No Copper ports requirements
  • Only 10G ports required
  • Minimum 24 x 10 GE SFP/QSFP ports for transceiver connectivity support to UCS and Servers
  • Minimum 4 X 10 GE SFP ports for uplink connectivity
  • VPC and VDC support
  • Standard Airflow
  • Please identify if there is any essential component missing

I dont think the 3K's do VDC. It's meant to be a ToR switch.

This is correct. How about any model recommendation?

but you said that VDC was a requirement?

Cisco Nexus 3064-X - This 10-Gbps Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+)-based top‑of-rack switch has 48 SFP+ ports and 4 Quad SFP+ (QSFP+) ports. Each SFP+ port can operate in 100-Mbps, 1-Gbps, or 10-Gbps mode, and each QSFP+ port can operate in native 40-Gbps or 4 x 10-Gbps mode. This switch is a true phy-less switch that is optimized for low latency and low power consumption.
