Introduction

This document describes the features, issues, and exceptions of Cisco NX-OS Release 10.3(5)M software for use on Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches.

The Cisco NX-OS Software Strategy and Lifecycle Guide provides details about the new Cisco NX-OS Software Release and Image-naming Convention.

Note: The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The following table lists the changes to this document:

New and Enhanced Software Features

There are no new software features introduced in Cisco NX-OS Release 10.3(5)M.

Hardware Features

There are no new hardware features introduced in Cisco NX-OS Release 10.3(5)M.

For details about transceivers and cables that are supported on a switch, see the Transceiver Module (TMG) Compatibility Matrix.

Release Image

In Cisco NX-OS Release 10.3(5)M, the following two 64-bit images are supported:

●    The 64-bit Cisco NX-OS image filename with "nxos64-cs” as the prefix (for example, nxos64-cs.10.3.4a.M.bin) is supported on all Cisco Nexus 9000 series switches except Cisco Nexus 9500 -R and -R2 switches and cards.

●    The 64-bit Cisco NX-OS image filename with "nxos64-msll” as the prefix (for example, nxos64-msll.10.3.4a.M.bin) is supported on Cisco Nexus 9000 -R and -R2 series modular switches.

The 32-bit image is no longer supported.

[1] For specific fan speeds see the Overview section of the Hardware Installation Guide.

[2] This switch runs with +1 redundancy mode so that if one fan fails, the switch can sustain operation. But if a second fan fails, this switch is not designed to sustain operation. Hence before waiting for the major threshold temperature to be hit, the switch will power down due to entering the fan policy trigger command.
