N3K-C31108TCV-32T is a copper top-of-rack data center switch with 32 enabled 10GBASE-T access ports and six fixed QSFP28 uplinks supporting 100G or 40G operation. The Nexus 31108TCV-32T ships with base Layer 2 software and does not supply PoE to attached endpoints. Its 1U rack chassis belongs to the Cisco Nexus 3100-V family, placing copper downlinks at the server edge and higher-speed uplinks toward aggregation. Copper interfaces also support 100Mbps and 1Gbps connections, allowing lower-speed server links to remain in the port plan. The discontinued N3K-C31108TC-V enables 48 copper access ports rather than 32.
N3K-C31108TCV-32T price is $11,896.50, a 50.3% saving from the Cisco list price of $23,922.00. N3K-C31108TCV-32T is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

470W maximum power draw establishes the electrical-sizing ceiling; the 260W typical operating figure does not replace that ceiling in circuit planning. 16 MB shared buffering provides a common pool for traffic bursts. N3K-C31108TCV-32T supports 16000 ingress ACL entries and 1000 egress entries, so directional filter placement matters. RSTP supports 512 spanning-tree instances and MSTP supports 64, placing different limits on topology segmentation. Jumbo-frame support reaches 9216 bytes, requiring matching MTU settings along the traffic path. Virtual Port Channel, or vPC, supplies Layer 2 multipathing, with 64 EtherChannels and 32 ports per EtherChannel defining channel-aggregation limits. Management uses the NX-OS CLI, NETCONF-based XML, SNMP versions 1, 2 and 3, or Cisco Data Center Network Manager. Role-based access control limits operations by assigned user role. Full OSPF, EIGRP, BGP and VXLAN require a routing entitlement such as legacy N3K-LAN1K9; these features are not included in the base Layer 2 software.
ORM Systems supplies N3K-C31108TCV-32T in new sealed and certified refurbished condition; certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, every network port linking at rated speed, and QSFP optics bay recognition, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. New orders include up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, and certified refurbished orders include up to 1 year; every condition has 30-day returns, and terms apply. Specify condition, quantity and delivery region on the purchase order. PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement support enterprise and volume procurement, with regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

Deploy the N3K-C31108TCV-32T as a leaf switch in a hyperconverged data center rack, leveraging 32 10GBase-T RJ-45 ports for server and storage node access and 6 QSFP28 uplinks to spine switches. This delivers ultra-low latency, 100GbE fabric aggregation and seamless Cisco ACI integration, enabling linear scale-out performance, simplified management and reduced TCO.
Upgrade a global campus network backbone with the Nexus 31108TCV-32T to provide 10GBase-T connectivity to edge switches and workstations plus 6 QSFP28 ports for 100GbE core interconnects. The result is high-throughput VoIP and video conferencing, optimized traffic engineering and future-proof capacity for digital workplace services.
Scale an enterprise or smart-city security solution by connecting IP cameras to the N3K-C31108TCV-32T’s 32 10G RJ-45 ports and aggregating video streams over 6 QSFP28 links to an AI analytics cluster. This architecture ensures sub-millisecond latency, high-density HD video processing and on-premises compliance, improving situational awareness and bandwidth efficiency.
Rack plans that reserve copper server connections for later expansion can use existing inactive interfaces rather than specify a second chassis. N3K-16T-UPG= activates 16 additional 10GBASE-T ports on N3K-C31108TCV-32T. Include the expansion entitlement separately and confirm its installation before assigning those interfaces to the server connection schedule.
Maintenance orders for an installed Nexus 3100-V fleet need cooling spares available before removal because a hot-swap must finish within one minute. Select NXA-FAN-30CFM-F for port-side exhaust or NXA-FAN-30CFM-B for port-side intake, and match the spare to the existing airflow direction before issuing the purchase order.
Native 2.5G or 5G copper connectivity
N3K-C31108TCV-32T copper ports support 100M, 1G and 10G, not 2.5G or 5G. Current replacement N9K-C93108TC-FX3P adds those intermediate speeds and increases copper-port density to 48.
Continuing Cisco security-vulnerability support
Security-vulnerability support for N3K-C31108TCV-32T ended August 30, 2025. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is the current replacement to evaluate for a new supported deployment, with 48 copper ports.

N3K-C31108TCV-32T is the Nexus 31108TCV-32T configuration: 32 enabled 10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports plus six QSFP28 ports. The N3K prefix identifies the Nexus chassis family, C31108TCV identifies the model, and 32T identifies its copper-port configuration. LAN Enterprise routing is a separate entitlement rather than a license suffix.
N3K-C31108TCV-32T is managed through the NX-OS CLI, a NETCONF-based XML interface, SNMP versions 1, 2 and 3, and Cisco Data Center Network Manager. The RS-232 serial console provides local access; the separate Gigabit Ethernet management port supports management connectivity. Specify the management approach before staging.
N3K-C31108TCV-32T is discontinued: Cisco end-of-sale was August 31, 2022, and the last date of support is August 31, 2027. Security-vulnerability support ended August 30, 2025. Contract renewals close November 29, 2026; remaining Cisco support requires applicable entitlement under an active service contract or eligible warranty.
ORM Systems offers N3K-C31108TCV-32T new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days for either condition; terms apply. Cisco's separate 1-year limited hardware warranty is subject to eligibility and ends no later than August 31, 2027.
N3K-C31108TCV-32T supports NX-OS Essentials subscriptions from release 9.3(1), NX-OS Advantage subscriptions from 9.3(3), and device-bound perpetual NX-OS Advantage. Subscription terms start at three years. Legacy N3K-LAN1K9 LAN Enterprise licensing is discontinued; the factory-installed N3K-32X-LIC port entitlement is separate from any optional routing entitlement.
N3K-C31108TCV-32T ships with 32 enabled 10GBASE-T ports under the factory-installed N3K-32X-LIC entitlement. The same hardware has 16 additional copper interfaces that N3K-16T-UPG= can activate. That expansion changes the usable access-port count, not the six QSFP28 uplinks or the separate requirement for optional routing rights.
The Nexus 31108TCV-32T provides six fixed QSFP28 uplinks supporting 100G and 40G operation, with four-way 10G breakout available. The right-most QSFP ports have alternative 100G/40G and 40G/four-way 10G modes. Changing that mode requires a reboot, so select the operating mode before staging connected devices and cabling.
No, N3K-C31108TCV-32T includes base Layer 2 software; BGP and OSPF require a routing entitlement. Legacy N3K-LAN1K9 LAN Enterprise unlocks full OSPF, EIGRP, BGP and VXLAN. Existing licenses need to be verified independently of N3K-32X-LIC, which activates ports rather than routing features.
The Nexus 31108TCV-32T accepts NXA-PAC-650W-PI or NXA-PAC-650W-PE AC supplies and NXA-PDC-930W-PI or NXA-PDC-930W-PE DC supplies. AC input is 100-240V; DC input is -40 to -72V. The order should identify the installed supply PIDs and airflow direction rather than assume that every available chassis has an AC configuration.
Nexus 3100-V switches support port-side exhaust with NXA-FAN-30CFM-F and port-side intake with NXA-FAN-30CFM-B. The order should align cooling selection with the chosen power-supply PIDs and rack intake/exhaust direction. A cooling-module hot-swap must finish within one minute, so specify the existing airflow configuration when ordering replacement cooling parts.
N3K-C31108TC-V has 48 enabled 10GBASE-T access ports, while N3K-C31108TCV-32T starts with 32 enabled ports on the same hardware. Both are discontinued. The former suits an existing 48-port configuration; the latter suits a legacy rack needing fewer active copper connections and a separately licensed expansion path.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P supports native 2.5G and 5G copper Ethernet, while N3K-C31108TCV-32T supports 100M, 1G and 10G copper speeds. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is the current replacement. The older model fits existing 10GBASE-T fleets; the replacement addresses buyers requiring intermediate copper speeds and a current orderable chassis.
