The switch has 48 SFP+ 10 Gb/s and 4 QSFP+ 40 Gb/s ports
When connecting for the first time through the console, specify the password for the admin user:
Do you want to enforce secure password standard (yes/no): yes
Enter the password for "admin":
Confirm the password for "admin":
Would you like to enter the basic configuration dialog (yes/no): no
Switch to configuration mode and specify the firmware file:
configure terminal
show incompatibility nxos bootflash:nxos.7.0.3.I4.6.bin
boot nxos bootflash:/nxos.7.0.3.I4.6.bin
exit
Save the configuration and reboot the switch:
copy running-config startup-config
reload
This command will reboot the system. (y/n)? [n] y
Next, we look at the current and saved configuration:
show running-config
show startup-config
During switching on the switch, if necessary, you can switch to bootloader mode:
Press ctrl L to go to loader prompt in 2 secs
From the bootloader, you can also manually start the switch with the specified firmware:
loader>boot bootflash:nxos.7.0.3.I4.6.bin
Or like this:
switch(boot)#load bootflash:nxos.7.0.3.I4.6.bin
Select the ports mode, and after this action you need to restart the cat:
hardware profile portmode ?
hardware profile portmode 48x10g+4x40g
hardware profile portmode 52x10g+3x40g
hardware profile portmode 56x10g+2x40g
hardware profile portmode 60x10g+1x40g
hardware profile portmode 64x10g

Configuring a hybrid port, Vlan 100 without a tag, and all other vlans with a tag:
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk native vlan 100
switchport trunk allowed vlan 300-400,100
By default, ports 1-48 are configured for 10 Gb / s, to connect 1 Gb / s you need to specify:
interface ethernet 1/1-20
speed 1000
interface ethernet 1/21-48
speed 10000
Time zone and ntp server for time synchronization:

Allow the use of SFP modules from third-party manufacturers:
service unsupported-transceiver
When using third-party SFP and DAC cables, you can specify the commands below for the interfaces, since without them there was either no link or it disappeared after a while, for example:
interface ethernet 1/52
no negotiate auto
duplex full
You can also turn off flow-control if it didn't turn off automatically:
no flowcontrol receive
no flowcontrol send
Set console sessions to end after 30 minutes:
line console
exec-timeout 30
An example of restricting access to the switch by IP addresses:
ip access-list manage
permit ip 10.100.5.1/32 any
permit ip 192.168.100.5/32 any
line vty
exec-timeout 30
access-class manage in
telnet activation:
feature telnet
To clear the configuration, use the command:
write erase
An example of copying the current and saved configuration to a TFTP server:
copy running-config tftp://disnetern.ru/running-config.bak
copy startup-config tftp://disnetern.ru/startup-config.bak
An example of restoring a configuration from a TFTP server:
copy tftp://disnetern.ru/running-config.bak running-config
