[Alireza Soltanian]

Hi everybody

I am looking for some answers regarding Nexus 5596UP,56128P and3064P

Nexus 5596UP:

Can I have both 1/10GE speed on all ports or Just 10GE? This contains both Fixed and Modular ports.

Nexus 56128P:

Can I have both 1/10GE speed on all ports or Just 10GE? This contains both Fixed and Modular ports. Specially Module with P/N:N56-M24UP2Q.

For both above models and N3064P:

Is there any limitation in Fabric Switching or Local Switching same as C6500-E or Not?

Thank you in advanced

Alireza

For Nexus 3064 - no limitation, it's supposed to be line-rate (1.28Tbps switching capacity - the equivalent of 64 10G ports at full-duplex).

We only have a couple of them, nowhere near full capacity, but I found this:

Thanks for the answer but what about the speed mode of the ports?

Ports 1 to 48 can do 1G or 10G.  We even have 100Mbps with some 10/100/1000Base-T SFPs, but I haven't tried FastEthernet fiber SFPs...
