Ports for the Cisco Nexus 3064 Switch
The switch chassis includes the following ports:
•1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet downlink ports (48 ports)
•40-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports (4 ports, each handling 4 x 10-Gigabit Ethernet)
•100/1000 Ethernet management ports (2 ports)
•Console port (1 port)
•USB port (1 port)
The chassis has 48 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet downlink ports that you connect to servers, which are often in the same rack or a nearby rack. You use Small Form factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) transceivers with copper or optical 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 40-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports to connect the switch to one to four hosts or switches. You use a Quad SFP+ (QSFP+) transceiver for each of these ports. That transceiver is either already connected to four copper cables, each handling 10 Gigabits of data, with a SFP+ transceiver on each cable, or you connect an optical cable to the QSFP+ transceiver and to another QSFP+ transceiver on another switch.
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.
