Nutanix HW compatibility : CISO NEXUS 3064-X and supermicro | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content
Hi folks !



My client asked me a quite though question today : since we are bounded to CISCO Nexus for physical switches, we digged on a low latency nexus with SFP+ connection.



It seems that 3064-X is a good choice but as far as I know, Cisco SFP+ compatibility with 3rd party is azardeous.



2 questions :



Are there some kind of hardware restriction w/ Nutanix Supermicro stuff appart from SFP+ cable (MOLEX 074752 series as far as I know) ?



Is there a compatibility matrix of this granularity level somewhere ?



best regards,
Hi 



Thanks for the question,  any insights you can add here :)



Thanks
Hi ,



We use standard Intel NIC's, so the preferred cables are the Cisco SFP+ cables. You will get into problems if you use third party cables with the Cisco switches.



Kind regards,



Michael
- were you able to get this all connected up?
I hope so ! my client bought it... and I'll have hands on it in a few days from now !

Ok, if you have any specific configuration questions, we've got a KB on portal.nutanix.com that talks about Cisco Nexus configs. Search Nexus and you'll find it.
Many thanks Jon !



I'll check it right away,



best regards,



Thomas
