Product Overview

The Cisco Nexus® 3064 Switch (Figure 1) is a high-performance, high-density, ultra-low-latency Ethernet switch that is part of the new Cisco® Nexus 3000 Series. This compact one-rack-unit (1RU) form factor 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch provides line-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching. The switch runs the industry-leading Cisco NX-OS Software operating system, providing customers with comprehensive features and functionality that are widely deployed globally. Cisco Nexus 3064 is a true PHY-less switch that is optimized for low latency and low power consumption. Cisco Nexus 3064 is well suited for financial co-location deployments that require support for comprehensive unicast and multicast routing protocol features at ultra-low latencies. This switch supports both forward and reversed airflow schemes with AC and DC power inputs.

Main Benefits

The Cisco Nexus 3064 provides the following main benefits:

• Ultra-low latency

– The Cisco Nexus 3064 delivers ultra-low nominal latency that allows customers to implement high-performance infrastructures for high-frequency trading workloads.

• Wire-rate Layer 2 and 3 switching on all 64 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports

– Cisco Nexus 3064 provides Layer 2 and 3 switching of up to 1.2 terabits per second (Tbps) and more than 950 million packets per second (mpps) in a compact 1RU form-factor switch.

• Purpose-built on Cisco NX-OS operating system with comprehensive, proven innovations

– Virtual PortChannel (vPC) provides Layer 2 multipathing through the elimination of Spanning Tree Protocol and enables fully utilized bisectional bandwidth and simplified Layer 2 logical topologies without the need to change the existing management and deployment models.

– Power On Auto Provisioning (POAP) enables touchless bootup and configuration of the switch, drastically reducing the provisioning time.

– EEM and Python scripting enable automation and remote operations in datacenter.

– Advanced buffer monitoring capability provides real-time buffer utilization per port and per queue, which allows organizations to monitor traffic bursts and application traffic patterns.

– The 64-way equal-cost multipath (ECMP) routing enables Layer 3 fat tree designs and allows organizations to prevent network bottlenecks, increase resiliency, and add capacity with little network disruption.

– EtherAnalyzer 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 (IEEE 1588) provides accurate clock synchronization and improved data correlation with network captures and system events.

– Full 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

• 48 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) ports (can operate at 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps speeds)

• Four fixed Quad SFP+ (QSFP+) ports (each QSFP+ port is 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 40 Gigabit Ethernet capable)

• Locator LED

• Dual redundant power supplies

• Fan tray with redundant fans

• Two 10/100/1000 management ports

• One RS-232 serial console port

• One USB port

• Locator LED button

Support for both forward (port-side exhaust) and reversed (port-side intake) airflow schemes is available.

Transceiver and Cabling Options

The Cisco Nexus 3064 supports a wide variety of 1, 10, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options. 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is achieved using SFP+ transceivers in the first 48 ports, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is achieved by using QSFP+ transceivers in the last 4 ports.
QSFP+ technology allows smooth transition from 10 to 40 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructures in data centers. The Cisco Nexus 3064 supports 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.

Cisco NX-OS Software Overview

Cisco NX-OS is a data-center-class operating system built with modularity, resiliency, and serviceability at its foundation. Cisco NX-OS helps ensure continuous availability and sets the standard for mission-critical data center environments. The self-healing and highly modular design of Cisco NX-OS makes zero-impact operations a reality and provides exceptional operational flexibility.
Focused on the requirements of the data center, Cisco NX-OS provides a robust and comprehensive feature set that meets the networking requirements of present and future data centers. With an XML interface and a command-line interface (CLI) like that of Cisco IOS® Software, Cisco NX-OS provides state-of-the-art implementations of relevant networking standards as well as a variety of true data-center-class Cisco innovations.

Cisco NX-OS Software Benefits

Table 4 summarizes the benefits that Cisco NX-OS Software offers.

Feature

Benefit

Common software throughout the data center: Cisco NX-OS runs on all Cisco data center switch platforms (Cisco Nexus 7000, 5000, 4000, 2000, and 1000V Series).
• Simplification of data center operating environment
• End-to-end Cisco Nexus and Cisco NX-OS fabric
• No retraining necessary for data center engineering and operations teams

Software compatibility: Cisco NX-OS interoperates with Cisco products running any variant of Cisco IOS Software and also with any networking OS that conforms to the networking standards listed as supported in this data sheet.
• Transparent operation with existing network infrastructure
• Open standards
• No compatibility concerns

Modular software design: Cisco NX-OS is designed to support distributed multithreaded processing. Cisco NX-OS modular processes are instantiated on demand, each in a separate protected memory space. Thus, processes are started and system resources allocated only when a feature is enabled. The modular processes are governed by a real-time preemptive scheduler that helps ensure timely processing of critical functions.
• Robust software
• Fault tolerance
• Increased scalability
• Increased network availability

Troubleshooting and diagnostics: Cisco NX-OS is built with unique serviceability functions to allow network operators to take early action based on network trends and events, enhancing network planning and improving network operations center (NOC) and vendor response times. Smart Call Home and Cisco Online Health Management System (OHMS) are some of the features that enhance the serviceability of Cisco NX-OS.
• Quick problem isolation and resolution
• Continuous system monitoring and proactive notifications
• Improved productivity of operations teams

Ease of management: Cisco NX-OS provides a programmatic XML interface based on the NETCONF industry standard. The Cisco NX-OS XML interface provides a consistent API for devices. Cisco NX-OS also provides support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Versions 1, 2, and 3 MIBs.
• Rapid development and creation of tools for enhanced management
• Comprehensive SNMP MIB support for efficient remote monitoring

Role-based access control (RBAC): With RBAC, Cisco NX-OS enables administrators to limit access to switch operations by assigning roles to users. Administrators can customize access and restrict it to the users who require it.
• Effective access control mechanism based on user roles
• Improved network device security
• Reduction in network problems arising from human error
