FAQs

Q: What operating systems does the N9K-C92160YC-X support?
A: The switch supports both Cisco NX-OS for traditional data center deployments and Cisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) mode for policy-driven automation and software-defined networking. This dual-mode capability provides deployment flexibility for different network architectures.

Q: Can the uplink ports be configured at different speeds?
A: Yes, the 6 QSFP28 uplink ports offer flexible configuration. All 6 ports support 40G operation, while 4 of the 6 ports are 100G-capable. Additionally, ports 50 and 52 can be individually configured as 1x 100G, 4x 10G, 4x 25G, 1x 40G, or 2x 50G using appropriate breakout cables and transceivers.

Q: Is this switch suitable for spine-leaf data center architectures?
A: Yes, the N9K-C92160YC-X is ideally suited as a leaf switch in modern spine-leaf topologies. With 48 access ports for server connectivity and high-speed 40G/100G uplinks to spine switches, it delivers the performance and scalability required for cloud-scale data center fabrics supporting VXLAN and BGP EVPN.

Q: Does the switch support VXLAN and network virtualization?
A: Yes, the switch fully supports VXLAN with BGP EVPN, VRF-Lite, and can function as a VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP). It supports up to 16,000 VRF instances, making it highly suitable for multi-tenant environments, network segmentation, and overlay network deployments.

Q: What redundancy features are included?
A: The switch includes redundant hot-swappable power supply support (1+1 redundancy), hot-swappable fan modules, and supports Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF) and Stateful Switchover (SSO) for high availability in mission-critical environments.
