FAQs

Q: What is the difference between the FX3H and standard FX3 models?
A: The FX3H variant includes hardware-based licensing that restricts usage to 24 of the 48 physical SFP28 ports, making it a more cost-effective option for deployments that do not require the full 48-port density. It also includes MACsec and SyncE support optimized for telco edge environments.

Q: What NX-OS version is required for this switch?
A: The Nexus 93180YC-FX3H requires NX-OS version 10.3.1 or higher. It is important to verify software compatibility before deployment to ensure full feature support.

Q: Can this switch be used in both ACI and NX-OS mode?
A: Yes, the Nexus 93180YC-FX3H supports both Cisco ACI fabric mode and standalone NX-OS mode, providing flexibility for data center automation and traditional network deployments.

Q: What are the typical use cases for this switch?
A: This switch is ideal for data center leaf layer deployments, telco data center edge environments requiring precise timing with SyncE and PTP, spine-leaf architectures, and virtualized environments needing multi-rate 1/10/25G server connectivity with 40/100G uplinks.

Q: Does this switch support PoE?
A: No, the Nexus 93180YC-FX3H does not support Power over Ethernet. It is designed as a fiber-based data center switch with SFP28 and QSFP28 optical ports.
