Buyers of the N3K-C3016-FA-L3 get a Cisco Nexus 3016 switch bundle: AC power, forward airflow (port side exhaust) and the Layer 3 Base and LAN Enterprise software licenses. The Nexus 3016 is a 1RU fixed switch with 16 QSFP+ ports, and each port runs as native 40 Gigabit Ethernet or as 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
Switching capacity is 1.28 Tbps with a forwarding rate of 950 mpps, line-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 on every port. Tables hold 128,000 MAC addresses and 4096 VLANs, buffers total 9 MB shared, and jumbo frames go up to 9216 bytes. The AC supplies take 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz.
The chassis holds 2 power supplies and 1 fan tray with redundant fans. The forward airflow spares are N3K-C3064-FAN for the fan module and N2200-PAC-400W for the 400 W AC supply. Maximum power is 227 W.
Reversed airflow and DC power are separate bundles in the same Nexus 3016 range. See Cisco switches for the rest of the Nexus range.
