IIRC, it has 32 10-gig ports, 16 UP (10-gig or FCOE) ports and 6 40-gig, QSFP ports.<br />
<br />
The QSFP ports can be 40-gig or by using the breakout cable can be 24 10-gig ports.

Then why it is mentioned as 5672. Does it not support 72 ports in total.

ohh ok got it<br />
Its clear thanks.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Would like to know about the Nexus 5672 UP switch port density.<br />
I understand that it has 48 fixed ports which can support 10 Gbps Ethernet.<br />
<br />
Would like know in addition to that can it support additional 16 ports of 10 Gbps Ethernet.<br />
I gone through the data sheet but i would like to clarify it.

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
