FAQs

Q: What is the difference between N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 and N9K-C93180YC-EX?
A: The N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 comes with a 24-port license allowing any 24 of the 48 physical downlink ports to be active. The standard N9K-C93180YC-EX has all 48 ports licensed and active. You can upgrade the -24 model to 48 ports by purchasing the N9K-EX-24P-UPG= upgrade license.

Q: Can this switch be used in Cisco ACI fabrics?
A: Yes, the N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 supports both standalone NX-OS mode and Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) as a leaf switch. It provides hardware support for VXLAN EVPN overlays, making it ideal for modern data center automation and policy-driven networking.

Q: What licensing is required for Layer 3 routing features?
A: The switch requires a minimum of Network Essentials license for LAN Base features. Advanced routing protocols like OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, and multicast require additional licenses such as Network Advantage or higher tiers.

Q: Is this switch suitable for top-of-rack deployments?
A: Yes, the N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 is specifically designed for data center top-of-rack and leaf-spine architectures. Its multi-speed 1/10/25G downlinks provide flexible server connectivity, while 40/100G uplinks ensure high-bandwidth aggregation layer connectivity.

Q: What is the end-of-sale status for this model?
A: Cisco announced end-of-sale for the N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 in August 2022. The recommended replacement is the N9K-C93180YC-FX3 series, which offers similar capabilities with updated hardware. Pre-owned and refurbished units remain available through authorized resellers.
