On the Cisco Nexus 93128 chassis, which port range is capable of operating at 40 GB?

Question

Options

• A1/97-1/100
• B1/97-1/104
• C1/97-1/108
• D1/100-1/108

• A
  4% (2)
• B
  94% (45)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Option B (1/97-1/104) is correct because the Cisco Nexus 93128TX provides 96 fixed 10G BASE-T ports followed by 8 dedicated 40G QSFP+ uplink ports, numbered sequentially as ports 97 through 104 - that's exactly 8 ports (104 - 97 + 1 = 8).

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (1/97-1/100) only covers 4 ports, which is half the actual 40G uplink count.
• C (1/97-1/108) extends 4 ports too far, implying 12 uplinks that don't exist on this platform.
• D (1/100-1/108) uses the wrong starting port and overlaps with non-existent ports.

Memory tip: The "128" in Nexus 93128 refers to total port capacity - 96 standard ports + 8 uplinks + other platform ports. Since the 10G ports end at 96, the 40G uplinks start at 97. Count 8 uplinks forward: 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104. If you remember "96 + 8 = 104", you'll always land on the right range (1/97-1/104).
