Cisco Nexus 31108-VXLAN 48 x 10GT, 6 QSFP Ports | Data Center Switch — CON-ETSON-6508ACH2

Consolidate dense server connectivity and high-speed uplinks in a single Cisco Nexus platform built for modern data center fabrics. The Nexus 31108-VXLAN combines 48 x 10GT ports with 6 QSFP ports, giving infrastructure teams the port mix needed to connect compute, storage, and aggregation layers without overcomplicating the network edge. For environments where east-west traffic, virtualization, and segmented workloads matter, this switch class supports the kind of port density and uplink flexibility that keeps designs clean and scalable. It fits naturally into leaf-spine architectures, where consistent forwarding behavior and high-capacity uplinks are more valuable than oversized feature sets that go unused. Cisco positioning matters here: this is a platform aimed at teams that need dependable switching at scale, not a commodity access switch. The port configuration supports dense rack deployments, while the QSFP uplinks help preserve headroom as server counts and traffic patterns grow. For procurement teams, that means fewer network refreshes driven by port exhaustion and a better fit for long-lived infrastructure standards. Ideal For Leaf-spine aggregation in enterprise data centers Top-of-rack connectivity for dense virtualization clusters High-speed uplinks for storage and compute fabrics Network consolidation for standardized Cisco switching environments Why This Product 1 Higher port density than smaller access switches 2 QSFP uplinks support cleaner fabric aggregation 3 Better fit for data center fabrics than office switches 4 Cisco Nexus platform aligns with enterprise standards
