N5K-C5672UP-B-LAB is a managed Layer 3 data center switch bundle with 48 fixed 1/10G SFP+ interfaces and six fixed 40G QSFP+ uplinks in a 1U rack-mount chassis. The Nexus 5672UP LAB Bundle includes SBUN software, optics and Twinax cabling rather than identifying only the base chassis. Sixteen unified ports support native 2/4/8-Gbps Fibre Channel connections as alternatives to Ethernet and FCoE; the discontinued N5K-C5672UP-16G instead provides 24 unified ports. The Cisco Nexus 5600 platform serves top-of-rack and middle-of-row server access where LAN and SAN connections share switching hardware. Native Fibre Channel consumes unified interfaces rather than adding separate storage ports, so the interface allocation must reflect both server-network and storage requirements.

1440 Gbps switching capacity supports nonblocking forwarding, while 1071 Mpps rates hardware processing for 64-byte packets. 450W maximum power consumption establishes the electrical sizing ceiling, compared with 400W typical operation. N5K-C5672UP-B-LAB uses cut-through forwarding with approximately 1 microsecond of port-to-port latency. Packet buffering provides 25 MB per 12 SFP+ interfaces for burst handling. LACP supports link aggregation, while PVRST+ and MSTP provide loop-control options; vPC supports connectivity across separate switches rather than hardware stacking. Layer 3 capabilities depend on installed entitlements: N56-BAS1K9 supports OSPFv2, OSPFv3 and EIGRP stub within a shared limit of 256 dynamic routes. N56-LAN1K9 requires N56-BAS1K9 and adds BGP, full EIGRP, PBR and IS-IS while permitting routes above that license limit. Support for 4000 ACL entries provides a finite policy-planning boundary across the switch. PoE endpoint power is not supported.
New sealed and certified refurbished N5K-C5672UP-B-LAB units are offered; refurbished hardware is inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status and fan status, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the required condition and regional stock requirement on the PO. ORM Systems provides up to 3-year extended warranty on new hardware, up to 1 year on certified refurbished hardware, and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply, while Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty coverage ended May 31, 2026. Enterprise and volume orders can use PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US and MEA.

When a validation bench must reproduce existing server-network settings, support for 9216-byte jumbo frames allows the same frame-size boundary to be exercised before changes reach an installed network. Define the required packet sizes and peer configuration in the acceptance checklist, and specify those checks before the PO.
When an existing fabric-extender estate needs another parent switch, the Nexus 5600 family supports 24 fabric extenders per switch in Layer 2 operation. Software compatibility and attachment mode remain part of the deployment review. List the exact installed extender inventory and connection plan before placing the hardware order.
When a spare must fit an existing data center row, matching airflow direction is a hardware requirement. N6K-C6001-FAN-F provides port-side exhaust, while N6K-C6001-FAN-B provides port-side intake, and the power supplies must match that direction. Identify the required airflow and power-input configuration on the replacement PO.
Native 25G server connections
Fixed server-facing interfaces stop at 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and the QSFP+ interfaces stop at 40 Gigabit Ethernet. Native 25G server connectivity is not available.
16G native Fibre Channel
Native Fibre Channel on the sixteen unified interfaces is limited to 2/4/8 Gbps. The LAB bundle cannot satisfy endpoints requiring 16-Gbps native Fibre Channel connections.
An active Cisco support contract
Cisco service for this LAB bundle ended May 31, 2026. The hardware cannot satisfy a requirement for ongoing Cisco TAC coverage or future Cisco support renewals.

N5K-C5672UP-B-LAB identifies a Nexus 5672UP LAB bundle containing SBUN software, optics and Twinax cabling. N5K identifies the Nexus 5000 family, C5672UP identifies the switch model with unified ports, and B-LAB identifies the LAB bundle. The bundle suffix does not establish an airflow direction or power-supply selection.
N5K-C5672UP-B-LAB is managed through NX-OS CLI access using the console, SSHv2 or Telnet, with in-band and dedicated Ethernet management connectivity. SNMPv1/v2/v3 and XML NETCONF support external management. Graphical management options include Cisco Prime DCNM, Cisco Fabric Manager and CiscoWorks LMS, with RBAC controlling administrative access.
N5K-C5672UP-B-LAB is discontinued: Cisco sales ended May 5, 2021, and service ended May 31, 2026. Security support for this affected bundle was extended through May 31, 2026. No replacement PID is assigned to this specific LAB bundle, so another ordering form's successor must not be assumed interchangeable.
ORM Systems offers N5K-C5672UP-B-LAB new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty on new hardware and up to 1 year on refurbished hardware. Returns are 30 days for either condition; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty no longer provides coverage because Cisco service ended May 31, 2026.
N5K-C5672UP-B-LAB includes an SBUN software bundle, while Nexus 5600 licensing also supports individual feature packages and Cisco ONE software. N56-BAS1K9 enables Layer 3 Base Services; N56-LAN1K9 enables Layer 3 Enterprise Services and requires N56-BAS1K9. Specify the included entitlements rather than assuming software installation establishes feature licensing.
N5K-C5672UP-B-LAB provides 48 fixed 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ interfaces and six fixed 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ interfaces. Sixteen SFP+ interfaces are unified ports, so assigning them to native Fibre Channel reduces available Ethernet connections. The chassis has no RJ-45 access ports and supplies no PoE endpoint power.
The Nexus 5672UP accepts SFP-10G-SR for 10G multimode fiber and QSFP-40G-SR4 for 40G multimode fiber. SFP-H10GB-CU1M provides a 1 m 10G Twinax connection, and QSFP-H40G-CU1M provides a 1 m 40G Twinax connection. Match the connection to the far-end interface and itemize the accessories included in the LAB bundle.
No, N5K-C5672UP-B-LAB is not a hardware-stacking switch; vPC provides connectivity across separate switches instead. That attachment arrangement is different from a physical switch stack, and the chassis has no dedicated stacking interfaces. Specify the required Ethernet inter-switch connections and client link aggregation rather than ordering a stacking kit.
The Nexus 5672UP supports two hot-swappable power supplies with redundancy, with 450W maximum consumption and 400W typical consumption. NXA-PAC-1100W provides port-side-exhaust AC operation; NXA-PAC-1100W-B provides port-side-intake AC operation. Match the power-supply and fan airflow directions, and identify the actual supply configuration before ordering replacement hardware.
N5K-C5672UP-B-LAB identifies the SBUN, optics and Twinax LAB bundle, whereas N5K-C5672UP identifies the base switch rather than that bundle scope. Both ordering forms are discontinued. The LAB form suits buyers reproducing the original bundle; the base form suits buyers matching the chassis identity and separately itemizing software and accessories.
N5K-C5672UP-16G has 24 unified ports, whereas N5K-C5672UP-B-LAB uses 16 unified ports. Both are discontinued. The larger unified-port allocation suits legacy installations needing more native Fibre Channel connections; the LAB bundle suits buyers matching the original sixteen-unified-port configuration together with its bundled software, optics and Twinax scope.
N5K-C56128P has two port-expansion slots, while N5K-C5672UP-B-LAB has no port-expansion bays. Both are discontinued. N5K-C56128P suits legacy configurations requiring N56-M24UP2Q expansion hardware; the LAB bundle suits buyers reproducing a fixed-port configuration without adding a removable port-expansion card to the original switch arrangement.
