Cisco N5K-C5672UP-16G Nexus 5672UP Series Managed Switch

The Cisco N5K-C5672UP-16G Nexus 5672UP Series Managed Switch is a fixed, high-density networking device that combines 24x 10G SFP ports, 24x UP SFP ports, and 6x 40G QSFP ports to support a mix of standard and high-speed links in a single chassis, enabling flexible connectivity for servers, storage, inter-switch links, and other network devices across different segments in environments requiring combined access and uplink scalability. The port configuration — 24 10G SFPs, 24 UP SFPs, and 6 40G QSFPs — supports a multi-rate topology, providing dense access at 10G while offering high-bandwidth uplinks for aggregation, and the arrangement is designed to reduce cabling complexity and improve layout efficiency in diverse deployment scenarios. As a Nexus Series managed switch, it supports centralized management and monitoring through its built-in interface, enabling administrators to oversee the port mix, view status indicators, and apply consistent configuration approaches across the network as workloads and connections evolve.
