When a lab purchase will later enter production, temporary evaluation licenses cannot serve as production entitlements, and Nexus 3000 switches have no licensing grace period. Specify permanent feature licenses for the intended workload and require license verification before releasing the production purchase order.
When staging a legacy spare with NX-OS 9.3(4), non-XL Nexus 3132 switches require compact software images because bootflash space is limited. Do not assume an image prepared for an XL switch is interchangeable. Specify the hardware revision and compact image requirement before approving the purchase order.

The Nexus 3132Q provides 40G QSFP+ interfaces. N9K-C9336C-FX2 offers 36 40/100G QSFP28 ports as the current migration endpoint, with a different port count.
Active Cisco hardware support
Cisco service for Nexus 3132Q hardware ended October 31, 2021. N9K-C9336C-FX2 remains available; the discontinued N3K-C3132Q-XL is not the current purchase alternative.
