Description

The Cisco Nexus N9K-C93180YC-FX3 is a high-performance 1RU data center switch built on Cisco Cloud Scale FX3 ASIC technology. With 48 multi-rate SFP28 ports supporting 1/10/25 Gbps and 6 QSFP28 uplinks capable of 40/100 Gbps, it delivers 3.6 Tbps of switching capacity and 1.2 Bpps forwarding performance. Ideal for cloud-scale leaf-spine architectures, this switch supports both Cisco ACI and NX-OS modes, offering line-rate MACsec encryption, deep buffers, advanced telemetry, and SyncE/PTP timing for modern data center and enterprise deployments.

Features

Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching with comprehensive routing protocol support (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, ISIS)
- VXLAN hardware VTEP with EVPN for overlay networks
- Line-rate MACsec encryption on all ports for secure data transport
- Deep packet buffers to handle microbursts and congestion in storage and HPC environments
- Hardware-based streaming telemetry for real-time network visibility and analytics
- RoCEv2 and PFC support for lossless Ethernet and NVMe-over-Fabrics
- SyncE and PTP boundary clock functionality for precise timing in telecom data center edge environments
- Hot-swappable dual redundant power supplies and fans for high availability
- Port-side or reverse airflow options for flexible thermal management
- Advanced QoS with multiple queuing and scheduling mechanisms
- Comprehensive security features including 802.1X, RADIUS, TACACS+, and role-based access control
- Energy-efficient design with platinum-rated power supplies

FAQs

Q: Does the N9K-C93180YC-FX3 support both ACI and NX-OS modes?
A: Yes, this switch can operate in either Cisco ACI fabric mode for intent-based automation or standalone NX-OS mode for traditional Layer 2/3 switching and routing.

Q: What is the typical deployment scenario for this model?
A: The N9K-C93180YC-FX3 is designed as a leaf switch for cloud-scale data centers, providing 25G server connectivity and 100G spine uplinks. It is well-suited for AI/ML workloads, IP storage fabrics (NVMe-oF, RoCEv2), and enterprise campus aggregation.

Q: Are the SFP28 ports backward compatible with 1G and 10G transceivers?
A: Yes, all 48 SFP28 ports support 1G, 10G, and 25G speeds, allowing for flexible migration from 10G to 25G server infrastructure using existing cabling.

Q: Does this switch support MACsec encryption?
A: Yes, the FX3 ASIC provides line-rate MACsec encryption on all ports, ensuring secure data transport across the fabric without performance degradation.

Q: What licensing is required for the N9K-C93180YC-FX3?
A: For NX-OS mode, the switch typically requires either NX-OS Essentials or NX-OS Advantage licensing depending on the feature set required. ACI mode uses a separate licensing model. Contact your Cisco representative for detailed licensing guidance.
