FAQs

Q: What speeds do the downlink ports support?
A: The 48 SFP28 downlink ports are highly flexible and can be configured per-port to operate at 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or 25 Gbps, allowing you to mix speeds based on connected devices and gradually migrate from legacy 1G/10G infrastructure to 25G server connectivity.

Q: Can the uplink ports operate at different speeds?
A: Yes, the 6 QSFP28 uplink ports support 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps operation, and can also be breakout configured for 10/25/50 Gbps connectivity, providing maximum flexibility for spine connections and aggregation layer uplinks.

Q: What operating modes does this switch support?
A: The Nexus 93180YC-EX supports two modes: NX-OS standalone mode for traditional data center switching, and ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) mode for policy-based automation when deployed with Cisco APIC controllers. A single software image supports both modes.

Q: Does this switch include Layer 3 routing capabilities?
A: Yes, this SKU variant includes the Enhanced Layer 3 license (indicated by the L3 designation), providing full support for OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, and advanced routing protocols. It supports up to 1,000 VRF instances and 1 million flexible forwarding table entries.

Q: What security features are included?
A: The switch includes comprehensive security capabilities including MACsec encryption on all ports, Control Plane Policing, Secure Boot, role-based access control (RBAC), and support for 802.1X authentication. It also includes advanced ACL support with 4,000 ingress and 2,000 egress entries.
