Description

The Cisco N9K-C93360YC-FX2 is a high-performance 2RU data center leaf switch delivering 7.2 Tbps bandwidth and 2.4 bpps forwarding rate across 96 SFP28 ports supporting 1/10/25 Gbps and 12 QSFP28 uplinks supporting 40/100 Gbps. Part of the Nexus 9300-FX2 Series, it features MACsec encryption, Layer 3 routing, VXLAN EVPN support, and 40 MB system buffer for modern cloud-scale data center deployments. Ideal for aggregation, leaf-spine architectures, and high-density server connectivity.

Features

Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching with full routing protocol support (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, PIM)
- VXLAN with MP-BGP EVPN control plane for multi-tenant network virtualization
- MACsec (IEEE 802.1ae) wire-rate encryption for secure data center connectivity
- Virtual Port Channel (VPC) technology for loop-free topologies and active-active redundancy
- RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) support for high-performance storage and compute clusters
- Intelligent buffer management with 40 MB shared buffer for low-latency, lossless operation
- FC-FEC and RS-FEC forward error correction for 25G links over extended distances
- Power-On Auto Provisioning (POAP) for zero-touch deployment and automated configuration
- Comprehensive QoS, ACL, multicast (PIM-SM, SSM), and security features
- Cisco Cloud Scale ASIC technology for programmability and telemetry
- Hot-swappable dual redundant power supplies and fan trays for continuous operation
- Standards-based protocols: STP, RSTP, MSTP, LACP, LLDP, SNMP, NetFlow, sFlow
- Support for Cisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) in leaf mode

FAQs

Q: What deployment scenarios is the N9K-C93360YC-FX2 best suited for?
A: This switch is optimized for data center leaf-spine architectures, high-density server aggregation, cloud-scale deployments, and VXLAN EVPN fabrics. It is ideal for organizations migrating from 10G to 25G server connectivity and 40G to 100G uplinks.

Q: Does this switch support MACsec encryption?
A: Yes, the N9K-C93360YC-FX2 is MACsec-capable, supporting IEEE 802.1ae for wire-rate Layer 2 encryption to secure data center traffic between switches and servers without performance degradation.

Q: Can the QSFP28 uplink ports be used in breakout mode?
A: Yes, ports 97-108 (the 12 QSFP28 uplinks) support 4x 10/25G breakout mode, providing flexibility to connect to lower-speed devices or increase port density for specific use cases.

Q: What software features and licenses are included?
A: The switch runs Cisco NX-OS and is L3-ready. It supports VXLAN with EVPN, Layer 3 routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP), VPC, MPLS, RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), and comprehensive data center features. Always verify current licensing requirements with Cisco or your authorized partner.

Q: What redundancy and high-availability features does this switch provide?
A: The switch supports dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies, variable-speed cooling fans, virtual port channels (VPC) for network-level redundancy, and Cisco NX-OS high-availability features including ISSU (In-Service Software Upgrade) for minimal downtime during maintenance.
