The Cisco Nexus 3172TQ-XL (N3K-C3172TQ-XL) is a 1 rack unit (RU) switch with 8GB of RAM and dual-core 2.5GHz x86 CPUs and 10GBASE-T with 48 10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports (each port can operate at 100-Mbps and 1-Gbps speeds) and 6 Quad SFP+ (QSFP+) ports (each QSFP+ port can support 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 40 Gigabit Ethernet). The Cisco Nexus 3172TQ-XL is a minor hardware revision of the Cisco Nexus 3172TQ respectively. Enhancements include an additional 4 GB of memory (for a total of 8 GB). The additional memory allows users to perform object-model programming.
