Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions, we have integrated them into a self-service Q&A. If you have other questions, please leave us a message.

What makes the N3K-C3548P-XL ideal for AI/ML workloads?

While the Cisco Nexus N3K-C3548P-XL is primarily designed for enterprise access-layer deployments (not hyperscale AI/ML like the Nexus 9000 series), it can still play a critical role in edge AI and distributed ML workloads when optimized properly.

Is the switch compatible with Cisco ACI?

Yes. It runs Cisco Cloud Scale NX-OS and fully integrates with ACI fabric, supporting automated policy enforcement, VXLAN/EVPN, and centralized management.

Can I use third-party optics?

Yes, but Cisco recommends tested/compatible optics (e.g., from FlexOptix or FS.com). Enable service unsupported-transceiver for untested modules.
