Keep the Cisco Nexus 3172-T switching platform under a defined Smart Net Total Care service level for five years. CON-5SNT-172TQ32T provides 8x5 coverage with next-business-day response, aligning support availability to business-hours operations rather than a 24-hour response schedule. It applies to the Nexus configuration identified with 32 × 10GBASE-T ports and 6 × QSFP+ ports. Smart Net Total Care gives administrators a Cisco support path for hardware and software operating issues affecting the covered platform. The service is suited to access, aggregation, and top-of-rack deployments where copper 10 Gigabit Ethernet connects servers, storage, or high-performance workstations, while QSFP+ interfaces provide higher-bandwidth uplink options. Technical assistance helps isolate platform faults and determine the appropriate corrective action. The 8x5xNBD level distinguishes this coverage by pairing business-hours support with next-business-day hardware response. It is a fit where the switch has an established replacement and maintenance process, but the deployment does not require four-hour or 24x7 response coverage. Coverage is supplied as a five-year service term for the supported Nexus 3172-T hardware configuration.
