Ports for the Cisco Nexus 3016 Switch
The Cisco Nexus 3016 switch chassis includes the following ports:
•
40-Gigabit Ethernet uplink or downlink ports (16 ports)
•
100/1000 Ethernet management ports (2 ports)
•
Console port (1 port)
•
USB port (1 port)
The chassis has 16 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports that you can connect to hosts (uplink connections) or
servers (downlink connections), which are often in the same rack or a nearby rack. Each of these ports
uses a QSFP+ transceiver which is connected to one or four optical or copper cables. If one cable is used,
it has a QSFP+ transceiver on the other end. If four cables are used, each of those cables has an SFP+
transceiver on the other end. The ports are numbered from left to right from 1 to 16 with the
odd-numbered ports on top and the even-numbered ports on the bottom.
Two 100/1000 Ethernet management ports enable you to manage switch operations. You can connect to
the switch through these two ports by using an RJ-45 connector on a copper cable.
One console port enables you to initially configure the switch and to perform troubleshooting operations.
You use an RJ-45 connector with a copper cable to connect to this port.
One USB port enables you to save or load switch configurations.
