System Requirements

Cisco Nexus 3548 Switch

The Cisco Nexus 3548 switch is the first member of the Cisco Nexus 3500 platform. As a compact one-rack-unit (1RU)

form-factor 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch, the Cisco Nexus 3548 switch provides line-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching at

extremely low latency. The switch runs Cisco NX-OS software that has comprehensive features and functions that are

widely deployed globally. The Cisco Nexus 3548 contains no physical layer (PHY) chips, which allows low latency and

low power consumption. The switch supports both forward and reversed airflow and both AC and DC power inputs.

Cisco Nexus 3524 Switch

The Cisco Nexus 3524 switch is a Cisco Nexus 3548 switch, but with only 24 ports active and can be upgraded to use

all 48 ports. As a compact one-rack-unit (1RU) form-factor 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch, the Cisco Nexus 3548 switch is

the lowest entry point for main-stream top-of-rack (TOR) data center deployments which offers line-rate Layer 2 and

Layer 3 switching with a comprehensive feature set, including Algo Boost technology, and ultra-low latency.
