The 3132 document says that there are 32 x 40/100 G ports. But, I cannot find such information from HWU.

If any experts here please help.

The Cisco 3132Q-V is a 10/40GbE switch, it doesnt have any 100GbE ports. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/switches/nexus-3132q-v-switch/index.html

You can use 40GbE on the e0a and e1a ports for Cluster connections, but will need to use the X65402 QSFP+ for 40GbE MPO Optical, or the X66100 for Copper. I have a customer using the 3132Q-V as their cluter switch with multiple A800 HA Pairs, all connected at 40GbE for Cluster.

Ugh ... yeah, that page is wrong. It shouldn't mention 100GbE anywhere on it. I'm going to suggest a doc update.

I didn't mean not to believe what you said, but, it just mentioned "40/100" many times in details

yep, you're right. That documentation is not correct. The 3132Q-V is 10/40GbE only. Even NetApp Hardware Universe and Cisco's documentation confirms that. I suspect the page you shared was mostly a copy/paste of the 9336C-FX2 page, and the 100GbE references never removed.

All good, thanks for pointing it out. Hopefully the doc team can update the page soon.

It’s likely left over from a copy/paste from the 3232 switch which is 40/100g

Just make sure your rcf file is up to date. It will allow ONTAP to take advantage of RoCE on the switches for better node to node communications
