N3K-C3048-BA-L3 Cisco Nexus 3000 Network Switch

Cisco Nexus 3000 N3K-C3048-BA-L3

The Cisco Nexus 3000 (N3K-C3048-BA-L3) 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.

Cabled connections avoid the interference and congestion that can affect wireless networks. Standards-based Ethernet ensures interoperability with routers, firewalls, servers and endpoints from other vendors.

Managed switching provides the visibility and control that business networks need as they grow. It runs on Cisco NX-OS, so it fits existing management tools and operating procedures. Keeping a record of what is connected to each port speeds up maintenance. Switches like this form the backbone of everyday network communication, linking users to applications, storage and the internet. Loop prevention with spanning tree allows redundant cabling without broadcast storms. Switching sends each frame only where it needs to go, which keeps the network efficient. Port counters and SNMP integration feed your monitoring tools with useful health data.

It suits top-of-rack placement, which keeps server cabling short and organized. Dense, low-latency switching suits hypervisor clusters and storage networks. Leaf-spine fabrics use switches like this to connect servers and feed high-speed links to the spine. Adequate airflow around the unit helps it run reliably for years. Match the part number N3K-C3048-BA-L3 against your existing equipment for a seamless replacement or expansion. Data center switching of this class supports the bandwidth that modern hypervisors, containers and storage need. For anyone sourcing Cisco Nexus switching, the N3K-C3048-BA-L3 combines Cisco engineering with practical, everyday performance.
