FAQs

Q: What license is required for the N9K-C93180YC-FX-24?
A: This switch requires a Cisco NX-OS or ACI subscription license (Essentials or Advantage tier) for full functionality. The -24 designation indicates this is a 24-port model that can be upgraded to 48 ports with an optional license (N9K-FX-24P-UPG=).

Q: Does this switch support both NX-OS standalone mode and ACI fabric mode?
A: Yes, the Nexus 93180YC-FX-24 supports both Cisco NX-OS standalone mode for traditional data center deployments and ACI fabric mode when integrated with Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controllers (APICs) for software-defined networking.

Q: What is the maximum switching capacity and what deployment scenarios is it suited for?
A: With 3.6 Tbps switching capacity and 2.6 Bpps forwarding rate, this switch is ideal for high-density leaf-spine architectures, top-of-rack deployments, and aggregation layers in enterprise data centers requiring low-latency 25G server connectivity and 100G spine uplinks.

Q: Does the N9K-C93180YC-FX-24 support breakout cables on the QSFP28 ports?
A: Yes, the 6 QSFP28 uplink ports support flexible breakout options including 4x10G and 4x25G configurations, enabling seamless migration from legacy 10G environments to high-density 25G connectivity.

Q: What advanced features are supported for modern data center architectures?
A: The switch supports VXLAN overlay networks, EVPN for multi-tenancy, MACsec hardware encryption, Virtual PortChannel (vPC) for redundancy, Cisco Tetration Analytics integration, and comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing protocols including BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, and IS-IS.
