The Cisco Nexus 3164Q Switch is an ultra-high density, power efficient, 10/40-Gbps switch designed for the data center. This compact, two-rack-unit (2RU) model offers wire-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching on all ports. It runs the enhanced version of the Cisco NX-OS Software operating system, that also supports Nexus 9000 series switches.

Product Details
The Cisco Nexus 3164Qprovidesthese highlights:
Wire-rate Layer 2 and 3 switching on all ports up to 5.12 terabits per second (Tbps) and up to 3.8 billion packets per second (bpps).
Rich Programmability, with support for NX-API, Linux Containers, XML/JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) APIs, Openstack plugin, Python, and Puppet/Chef configuration and automation tools.
High Performance and Scalability with 6 core CPU, 16GE DRAM and 64 GB SSD, with 48 Mbytes of dynamic buffer allocation. Ideal for massively scalable data centers and big data applications.
Flexibility
-The QSFP port can be configured to work as four 10-Gbps ports, offering deployment flexibility, up to a maximum of 256 10G ports.
-The Cisco Quad Small Form-Factor (QSFP) 40-Gbps Bidirectional (BiDi) Transceiver technology allows the reuse of existing 10G cablings, a smooth transition from 10 to 40 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructures in data centers.
-Both fiber and copper cabling solutions for both 10-Gbps and 40-Gbps, with the SFP options of Bidi, AOC, SR4 fiber optics.
High availability
-Virtual PortChannel (vPC) technology provides Layer 2 multipathing through the elimination of Spanning Tree Protocol. It also enables fully utilized bisectional bandwidth and simplified Layer 2 logical topologies without the need to change the existing management and deployment models.
-The 64-way equal-cost multipath (ECMP) routing enables the use of Layer 3 fat-tree designs. This allows organizations to prevent network bottlenecks, increase resiliency, and add capacity with little network disruption.
-Advanced reboot capabilities include hot/cold pathching and Fast Reboot capabilities.
-Hot swappable power-supply units (PSUs) and fans.
Purpose-built Cisco NX-OS operating system with comprehensive, proven innovations
-PowerOn Auto Provisioning (POAP) enables touchless bootup and configuration of the switch, drastically reducing provisioning time.
-Cisco Embedded Event Manager (EEM) and Python scripting enable automation and remote operations in the data center.
-Advanced buffer monitoring reports real-time buffer utilization per port and per queue, which allows organizations to monitor traffic bursts and application traffic patterns.
-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.
-Complete 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).
