Ports for the Cisco Nexus 3048 Switch

The Cisco Nexus 3048 switch chassis includes the following ports:

•10/100/1000 Ethernet downlink ports (48 ports)

•1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports

•100/1000 Ethernet management ports (2 ports)

•Console port (1 port)

•USB port (1 port)

The chassis has 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet downlink ports that you connect to servers, which are often in the same rack or a nearby rack. You use RJ-45 connectors with copper cables to connect the switch to the servers. The ports are numbered from left to right from 1 to 48 with the odd-numbered ports on top and the even-numbered ports on the bottom.

You use up to four 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports to connect the switch to one to four hosts or switches. You use an SFP or SFP+ transceiver for each of these ports.

Two 100/1000 Ethernet management ports enable you to manage switch operations. You can connect to the switch through these two ports by using an RJ-45 connector on a copper cable.

One console port enables you to initially configure the switch and to perform troubleshooting operations. You use an RJ-45 connector with a copper cable to connect to this port.

One USB port enables you to save or load switch configurations.
