FAQs

Q: How many ports are active on the N9K-C93108TC-EX-24 out of the box?
A: This switch comes with 24 active 10GBASE-T downlink ports by default. The hardware has 48 physical ports total, but only 24 are licensed initially. You can upgrade to 48 ports by purchasing the N9K-EX-24P-UPG= port expansion license.

Q: What licensing is required for the N9K-C93108TC-EX-24?
A: This switch requires a minimum of the Network Essentials license package to enable LAN Base features. Advanced licenses like Network Advantage can be purchased separately to enable additional features such as VXLAN, EVPN, advanced telemetry, and Cisco ACI capabilities.

Q: Can the 10GBASE-T ports operate at lower speeds?
A: Yes, all 24 10GBASE-T downlink ports are multi-speed and can be configured to operate at 100Mbps, 1Gbps, or 10Gbps, providing flexibility to support mixed-speed environments and legacy infrastructure.

Q: What uplink options are supported on the QSFP28 ports?
A: The six QSFP28 uplink ports support flexible connectivity including 40G, 100G, or breakout configurations for 1G, 10G, 25G, and 50G speeds. This provides migration flexibility as data center requirements evolve.

Q: Is this switch suitable for VXLAN deployments?
A: Yes, the N9K-C93108TC-EX-24 supports VXLAN with EVPN control plane, making it well-suited for modern overlay network architectures in both NX-OS standalone mode and Cisco ACI fabric deployments. It features large buffers and hardware-accelerated VXLAN encapsulation/decapsulation.
