N3K-C3132-FD-L3 is a DC-powered Layer 3 data center switch bundle with LAN Enterprise licensing and port-side exhaust airflow. Its fixed front panel provides 32 native 40G QSFP+ ports and four 10G SFP+ connections in a 1U rack-mount chassis, rather than an empty uplink module bay. The Nexus 3132Q supplies access and leaf connectivity within the Cisco Nexus 3100 family. Fiber and copper cabling are supported through the pluggable interfaces; the chassis has no copper Ethernet access ports for direct server connections. The discontinued N3K-C3132-FA-L3 substitutes AC input while retaining forward airflow, making power-feed compatibility a distinction between the two ordering forms.

2500 Gbps switching capacity establishes the aggregate switching ceiling, while 1400 Mpps forwarding capacity supplies the packet-rate limit for traffic-profile sizing. 340W maximum consumption sets the electrical allowance; the lower typical operating draw should not replace that maximum when sizing feeds. BGP supports routed fabric connections, while OSPFv2, RIPv2, EIGRP Stub, HSRP, and VRRP provide additional routing and gateway options. N3K-C3132-FD-L3 carries 4 GB of DRAM and 4 GB of boot flash for the operating environment. A shared 12 MB packet buffer serves the interfaces rather than providing a dedicated allocation to each port. LACP and vPC support aggregated connections, but vPC is not a physical chassis stack. The Nexus 3000 software environment also provides configuration rollback and management access controls. Native 100G Ethernet is absent, so a transceiver change cannot create a 100G connection.
Specify N3K-C3132-FD-L3 in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, and state the required quantity and acceptance requirements on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. ORM provides new units with up to a 3-year extended warranty and certified refurbished units with up to 1 year, plus 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply, and Cisco coverage ended October 31, 2021. For enterprise and volume orders, PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement are available.

A migration retaining numerous 10G server connections can use the Nexus 3132Q breakout ceiling of 104 x 10G interfaces. Specify QSFP-4SFP10G-CU1M for supported 1 m copper breakout runs, and reconcile native links against breakout assignments before issuing the purchase order.
A staging purchase intended for configuration automation can use XML NETCONF and Cisco NX-API alongside rollback facilities. Keep the test plan separate from production entitlement checks, and specify the required management connectivity, software configuration, and acceptance procedures on the purchase order.
A N3K-C3132-FD-L3 spares purchase spanning the UK, EU, US, and MEA can use ORM's regional stock and RMA handling. Separate quantities by receiving region and identify the required condition for each line, then specify those allocations before issuing the purchase order.
Native 100G fabric connections
The fixed QSFP+ interfaces stop at native 40G. N9K-C9336C-FX2 provides 36 native 40/100G QSFP28 ports, changing both connection speed and port density.
Active Cisco hardware support
Nexus 3132Q support ended October 31, 2021. N9K-C9336C-FX2 is the current endpoint of the replacement chain; the earlier intermediate replacements are discontinued.

N3K-C3132-FD-L3 identifies a Nexus 3132Q LAN Enterprise bundle: N3K denotes Nexus 3000, C3132 selects Nexus 3132Q, F specifies forward port-side exhaust airflow, D selects DC power, and L3 denotes LAN Enterprise licensing. The configuration uses the original Nexus 3132Q hardware generation.
N3K-C3132-FD-L3 is managed through the console CLI, SSHv2 or Telnet, Cisco DCNM, SNMP, XML NETCONF, and Cisco NX-API. Management can use the dedicated Ethernet management connection or in-band connectivity. Specify the access method and management-network connection before staging the unit.
N3K-C3132-FD-L3 belongs to the discontinued Nexus 3132Q family, whose end-of-sale date was October 20, 2016 and last support date was October 31, 2021. The original replacement, N3K-C3132Q-XL, is also discontinued; the forward replacement chain reaches current N9K-C9336C-FX2.
N3K-C3132-FD-L3 includes the Base and LAN Enterprise software licenses, N3K-BAS1K9 and N3K-LAN1K9. LAN Enterprise requires the Base license; hardware replacement alone does not establish software entitlement. Include the intended license components and installed license status in the purchase-order acceptance requirements.
The Nexus 3132Q provides 32 QSFP+ ports plus four SFP+ connectors, but the four SFP+ connections share the first QSFP+ port internally. Native 40G and 10G breakout are configuration choices, not additional independent port capacity. Plan interface assignments before ordering optical or copper connections.
The Nexus 3132Q consumes 210W typically and 340W maximum; N3K-C3132-FD-L3 uses DC input with port-side exhaust airflow. Size the DC feed and thermal allowance against maximum operation rather than typical draw, and confirm the feed connections before issuing the purchase order.
N3K-C3132-FD-L3 uses DC power, while N3K-C3132-FA-L3 uses AC power; both have forward port-side exhaust airflow and LAN Enterprise licensing. Both belong to the discontinued Nexus 3132Q family. The DC bundle suits matching DC feeds; the AC bundle suits matching AC feeds.
N3K-C3132-FD-L3 includes LAN Enterprise licensing, whereas N3K-C3132Q-40GE is the original chassis ordering form with the included Base license. Both are discontinued. The bundle fits an existing LAN Enterprise requirement; the chassis form requires separately specified entitlements when that additional software tier is needed.
N9K-C9336C-FX2 provides 36 native 40/100G QSFP28 ports, while N3K-C3132-FD-L3 has 32 native 40G QSFP+ ports. N9K-C9336C-FX2 is the current endpoint of the replacement chain. The older bundle serves like-for-like legacy requirements; the successor serves projects requiring native 100G connections.
ORM Systems offers N3K-C3132-FD-L3 new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions include 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco hardware warranty and service coverage for Nexus 3132Q ended October 31, 2021; ORM coverage is separate.
