Description

The Cisco N9K-C93180YC-FX3S is a high-performance 1RU data center switch designed for cloud-scale deployments with support for Synchronous Ethernet timing. With 48 ports supporting 1G, 10G, or 25G speeds and six 40G/100G uplinks, this switch delivers 3.6 Tbps throughput and 1.2 Bpps forwarding performance. Purpose-built for telco edge environments requiring PTP boundary clock and SyncE functionality, it runs Cisco NX-OS and supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 operation with additional licensing.

Features

Layer 2 switching with VLAN, STP, RSTP, MST support
- Layer 3 routing with OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, IS-IS (requires license)
- Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) overlay support with BGP EVPN
- Virtual Port Channel (vPC) for Layer 2 redundancy across switch pairs
- Flexible NetFlow and sFlow for traffic visibility and analytics
- Comprehensive QoS with 8 egress queues and priority flow control (PFC)
- IEEE 802.1Qbb Priority Flow Control for lossless Ethernet
- Precision Time Protocol (PTP) IEEE 1588 with telecom profiles G.8275.1/G.8275.2
- Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) ITU-T G.8262 and G.8264
- Python scripting and automation with NX-API REST, NETCONF, gRPC
- Cloud-scale TCAM for large routing and ACL tables
- Cisco TrustSec security with SGT tagging and MACsec (requires license)
- Zero-touch provisioning (POAP) for automated deployment
- In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) for non-disruptive maintenance

FAQs

Q: Does the N9K-C93180YC-FX3S include software licenses?
A: No, the base switch ships with Layer 2 functionality only. Layer 3 routing, multicast, and advanced features require additional Nexus Data Center Advantage or Premier licenses, available as subscription or perpetual.

Q: What is the difference between the FX3 and FX3S models?
A: The FX3S variant adds Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) and PTP telecom timing profiles for telecommunications data center edge deployments, making it suitable for 5G and mobile network applications requiring precise time synchronization.

Q: Can this switch operate in both NX-OS and ACI modes?
A: Yes, the N9K-C93180YC-FX3S supports both standalone NX-OS mode for traditional data center switching and Cisco ACI mode for software-defined networking with centralized policy control via APIC controllers.

Q: Is stacking or virtual chassis supported on this model?
A: No, the Nexus 9300-FX3S series does not support traditional stacking. High availability is achieved through vPC (virtual Port Channel) technology, allowing pairs of switches to appear as a single logical device.

Q: What optics are compatible with the SFP28 and QSFP28 ports?
A: The switch supports Cisco SFP28 transceivers (1G/10G/25G) and QSFP28 modules (40G/100G) as well as direct-attach copper (DAC) and active optical cables (AOC). Refer to the Cisco Nexus 9000 optics compatibility matrix for the complete list of supported transceivers.
