The Cisco N3K-C3064-E-BD-L3 is a network switch from Cisco's Nexus 3000 Series. It is a fixed-configuration, high-density, and low-latency switch designed for data center environments. The "N3K" in the model number stands for Nexus 3000 Series, "C3064" indicates the specific model, and "E" represents the enhanced version of the switch. The "BD" in the model number stands for "Baseboard," which means it is a bare-metal switch without any pre-installed software.

The "L3" in the model number indicates that the switch supports Layer 3 functionality, including routing protocols such as OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). This makes it suitable for deployments requiring advanced routing capabilities in addition to traditional Layer 2 switching. Overall, the Cisco N3K-C3064-E-BD-L3 is a high-performance and versatile switch designed for data center environments that require both Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities.
