N3K-C3064-X-BD-L3 Cisco Nexus 3064-X Manageable Switch Refurbished

The Cisco Nexus 3064-X is a high-performance, low-latency, and low-power 1/10 Gbps Ethernet switch designed for data center networks. The N3K-C3064-X-BD-L3 model is a layer 3 switch that supports advanced routing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, and PIM-SM.

The switch has a fixed configuration of 48 SFP+ ports, which support both 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The switch also features four QSFP+ uplink ports that can be configured to support 40 Gigabit Ethernet connections or 4x10 Gigabit Ethernet connections.

In terms of switch architecture, the Cisco Nexus 3064-X uses a cut-through switching architecture, which provides low latency and high throughput for data traffic. The switch also features a large 9MB buffer size, which helps to prevent packet drops during periods of congestion.

The N3K-C3064-X-BD-L3 model also includes hardware-based ACLs, which can be used to filter traffic based on a variety of criteria, including source and destination IP address, MAC address, and protocol. The switch also supports virtual port channels (vPCs), which provide a mechanism for linking multiple physical interfaces together to form a single logical interface.

In terms of performance characteristics, the Cisco Nexus 3064-X provides wire-speed performance for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic. The switch is capable of forwarding up to 1.28 Tbps of data, and it has a forwarding rate of up to 950 million packets per second (Mpps). The switch also has a low power consumption of approximately 3 watts per 10 Gigabit Ethernet port.

The N3K-C3064-X-BD-L3 Cisco Nexus 3064-X manageable switch is designed to provide high-performance and low-latency networking solutions for data centers and enterprise environments. It offers a wide range of quality of service (QoS) and traffic management features, including:

• Traffic shaping: The switch supports traffic shaping, which allows administrators to control the rate at which traffic is sent or received. This helps to prevent network congestion and ensures that critical traffic gets priority over non-critical traffic.
• Bandwidth management: The switch supports bandwidth management, which allows administrators to allocate specific amounts of bandwidth to different types of traffic. This ensures that critical traffic, such as voice and video, get the necessary bandwidth they require.
• Congestion management: The switch supports congestion management, which allows administrators to detect and respond to network congestion. This is done by dropping or marking packets, which helps to prevent congestion from spreading.
• Classification and marking: The switch supports classification and marking, which allows administrators to identify and mark different types of traffic. This helps to ensure that critical traffic gets priority over non-critical traffic.
• Policing: The switch supports policing, which allows administrators to limit the rate at which traffic is sent or received. This helps to prevent network congestion and ensures that critical traffic gets priority over non-critical traffic.
• Priority queuing: The switch supports priority queuing, which allows administrators to prioritize different types of traffic. This helps to ensure that critical traffic gets priority over non-critical traffic.
• Weighted fair queuing: The switch supports weighted fair queuing, which allows administrators to allocate bandwidth based on the weight assigned to different types of traffic. This helps to ensure that critical traffic gets the necessary bandwidth it requires.

The N3K-C3064-X-BD-L3 Cisco Nexus 3064-X manageable switch is equipped with various management interfaces and tools to ensure easy and efficient management of the network. Some of the management interfaces and tools available on this switch are:

• Cisco NX-OS: The Cisco NX-OS is a purpose-built operating system for Cisco's Nexus family of switches. It provides a robust set of features and capabilities that enable efficient network management. The Cisco NX-OS offers a command-line interface (CLI) that allows administrators to configure and manage the switch.
• Web-based GUI: The switch comes with a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that provides an easy-to-use interface for managing the network. The web-based GUI allows administrators to configure and manage the switch from any location with an internet connection.
• SNMP: The switch supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is a protocol used for managing and monitoring network devices. With SNMP, administrators can monitor the performance and health of the network and receive alerts when there are issues.
• Syslog: The switch also supports syslog, which is a standard protocol for sending and receiving log messages in a network. With syslog, administrators can view and analyze system logs to troubleshoot network issues.
• Remote Management: The switch allows remote management using Telnet and SSH protocols. With remote management, administrators can manage the switch from any location with an internet connection.
• Cisco DCNM: Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) is a network management tool that provides a central point of management for Cisco Nexus switches. With DCNM, administrators can configure and manage multiple switches from a single interface.
