The Cisco Nexus® 3172PQ and 3172TQ Switches are dense, high-performance Layer 2 and 3, 10- and 40-Gbps switches that are members of the Cisco Nexus 3100 switch platform. Both switches offer improved port density and scalability in compact one-rack-unit (1RU) form factors. These Cisco Nexus 3172 switches run the industry-leading Cisco® NX-OS Software operating system that helps ensure continuous availability and sets the standard for mission-critical data center environments. They are well suited for data centers that require cost-effective, power-efficient line-rate Layer 2 and 3 top-of-rack (ToR) switches. Both also support forward and reverse airflow schemes (port-side exhaust and port-side intake) with AC and DC power inputs.
Two Cisco Nexus 3172 switches are available:
• Cisco Nexus 3172PQ (Figure 1) is a 10-Gbps Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+)-based ToR switch with 48 SFP+ ports and 6 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.
Figure 1. Cisco Nexus 3172PQ Switch
• Cisco Nexus 3172TQ (Figure 2) is a 10GBASE-T switch with 48 10GBASE-T ports and 6 Quad SFP+ (QSFP+) ports. This switch is well suited for customers who want to reuse existing copper cabling while migrating from 1-Gbps to 10-Gbps servers.

Main Benefits
The Cisco Nexus 3172 switches provide the following main benefits:
• Wire-rate Layer 2 and 3 switching on all 72 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports
– The Cisco Nexus 3172 switches provide Layer 2 and 3 switching of up to 1.4 terabits per second (Tbps) and up to 1 billion packets per second (bpps) in a compact 1RU form factor.
• High availability
– Virtual PortChannel (vPC) technology provides Layer 2 multipathing through the elimination of Spanning Tree Protocol. It also enables fully utilized bisectional bandwidth and simplified Layer 2 logical topologies without the need to change the existing management and deployment models.
– The 64-way equal-cost multipath (ECMP) routing enables the use of Layer 3 fat-tree designs that allows organizations to prevent network bottlenecks, increase resiliency, and add capacity with little network disruption.
– Advanced reboot capabilities included through In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) and Fast Reboot capabilities.
– Power-supply units (PSUs) and fans are hot swappable.
• High performance
– The Cisco Nexus 3172 switches deliver ultra-low nominal latency, which allows customers to implement high-performance infrastructure for high-frequency trading (HFT) workloads.
• Purpose-built on Cisco NX-OS operating system with comprehensive, proven innovations
– PowerOn Auto Provisioning (POAP) enables touchless bootup and configuration of the switch, drastically reducing provisioning time.
– Cisco Embedded Event Manager (EEM) and Python scripting enable automation and remote operations in the data center.
– Advanced buffer monitoring reports real-time buffer use per port and per queue, which allows organizations to monitor traffic bursts and application traffic patterns.
– Ethanalyzer is a built-in packet analyzer for monitoring and troubleshooting control-plane traffic and is based on the popular Wireshark open source network protocol analyzer.
– Precision Time Protocol (PTP; IEEE 1588) provides accurate clock synchronization and improved data correlation with network captures and system events.
– Complete Layer 3 unicast and multicast routing protocol suites are supported, including Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Routing Information Protocol Version 2 (RIPv2), Protocol Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM), Source-Specific Multicast (SSM), and Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP).
Configuration
The Cisco Nexus 3172 switches have the following configurations:
• Cisco Nexus 3172PQ
– 48 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports (can operate at 100-Mbps, 1-Gbps, and 10-Gbps speeds)
– Six fixed QSFP+ ports (each QSFP+ port can support 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 40 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Cisco Nexus 3172TQ
– 48 fixed 10GBASE-T ports (can operate at 100-Mbps, 1-Gbps, and 10-Gbps speeds)
– Six fixed QSFP+ ports (each QSFP+ port can support 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 40 Gigabit Ethernet)
Support for both forward (port-side exhaust) and reversed (port-side intake) airflow schemes is available.
Transceiver and Cabling Options
The Cisco Nexus 3172 switches support a wide variety of 1, 10, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options. 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is achieved in the first 48 ports, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is achieved using QSFP+ transceivers in the last 6 ports.
QSFP+ technology allows a smooth transition from 10 to 40 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructures in the data center. The Cisco Nexus 3172 switches support connectivity over copper and fiber cables, providing excellent physical-layer flexibility. For low-cost cabling, copper-based 40-Gbps Twinax cables can be used, and for longer cable reaches, short-reach optical transceivers are excellent.
Connectivity can be established from the QSFP ports to an upstream 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch using a splitter cable that has a QSFP transceiver on one end and four SFP+ transceivers on the other end. Similar capability can be achieved using optical transceivers by procuring third-party fiber splitters.
Table 1 lists the QSFP transceiver types supported.

For in-rack or adjacent-rack cabling, the Cisco Nexus 3172PQ supports SFP+ direct-attach 10 Gigabit Ethernet copper, an innovative solution that integrates transceivers with Twinax cables into an energy-efficient and low-cost solution. For longer cable runs, multimode and single-mode optical SFP+ transceivers are supported. Table 2 lists the supported 10 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver options.
The Cisco Nexus 3172PQ is compatible with existing Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure. The 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces can operate in either Gigabit Ethernet or 100-Mbps mode. Table 3 lists the Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers that are supported. 100-Mbps connectivity can be achieved by using copper-based SFP transceivers (SFP-GE-T and GLC-T).
