FAQs

Q: What speeds do the multigigabit ports support?
A: All 48 downlink ports support flexible speeds of 100Mbps, 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps over standard BASE-T cabling, allowing network upgrades without replacing existing copper infrastructure.

Q: What is the maximum PoE budget available?
A: The PoE budget depends on PSU configuration. With dual 1900W PSUs in non-redundant mode, the switch provides up to 1920W PoE budget. In redundant mode with dual 1900W PSUs, the budget is 1300W. Each port supports up to 60W PoE++ (UPoE) for high-power devices like access points and IoT equipment.

Q: Can this switch run in both NX-OS and ACI modes?
A: Yes, the N9K-C93108TC-FX3P supports both standalone NX-OS mode and Cisco ACI mode. In NX-OS mode, it operates as a traditional switch with full Layer 2/3 capabilities. In ACI mode, it functions as a leaf switch within an Application Centric Infrastructure fabric, providing policy-based automation and programmability.

Q: What licensing is required for this switch?
A: The switch is license-ready for Cisco NX-OS software licenses available in Essentials, Advantage, and Premier tiers. Licenses enable advanced Layer 3 features, routing protocols (OSPF, BGP), VXLAN, segment routing, and other data center features. Licenses are available as perpetual or subscription-based options.

Q: Is this switch suitable for data center leaf/ToR deployments?
A: Absolutely. The N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is purpose-built for Top-of-Rack (ToR) and leaf deployments in modern data centers. Its high-density multigigabit downlinks, 40/100G uplinks, low latency, MACsec encryption support, and VXLAN capabilities make it ideal for scalable spine-leaf architectures in both traditional and software-defined data centers.
