C1-N3K-C3172TQ Cisco ONE Nexus 3000 Network Switch

Cisco ONE Nexus 3000 C1-N3K-C3172TQ

The Cisco ONE Nexus 3000 (C1-N3K-C3172TQ) is a switch from Cisco, part of the Nexus Series, built for data center top-of-rack, leaf-spine and server aggregation designs. The product line is engineered for data center switching.

Because it follows Ethernet standards, it works alongside equipment from other manufacturers. Cabled connections avoid the interference and congestion that can affect wireless networks.

Managed switching provides the visibility and control that business networks need as they grow. Built on Cisco NX-OS, it shares a consistent operating and management experience with the rest of the product family. Troubleshooting tools shorten the time from fault report to fix. Email, file sharing, voice and video all depend on stable switching underneath. Each switched port gives a connected device its own dedicated link instead of sharing bandwidth as on an old-style hub. A switch forwards traffic only to the port where the destination device is connected, which reduces unnecessary network load. QoS policies keep calls and video meetings clear, even during heavy file transfers.

It fits leaf or spine roles in modern data center fabrics. Centralizing wired connections on one switch makes the network easier to understand and maintain. It suits top-of-rack placement, which keeps server cabling short and organized. A UPS on the network rack keeps connections alive through short power outages. It provides the bandwidth that today's virtual machines, containers and storage platforms demand. Virtualized workloads, storage traffic and east-west flows benefit from its density and speed. Whether you are building a new network or replacing an existing unit, the C1-N3K-C3172TQ delivers Cisco Nexus switching that fits the job.
