Description

The Cisco N9K-X9564PX is a high-performance line card for Nexus 9500 modular chassis, delivering 48 ports of 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet via SFP+ and 4 ports of 40 Gigabit Ethernet via QSFP+. Designed for data center access and aggregation layers, it provides 1.28 Tbps non-blocking bandwidth with VxLAN routing and bridging capabilities. Ideal for deploying scalable leaf-spine architectures or traditional hierarchical networks in enterprise and service provider environments.

Features

Non-blocking line-rate performance across all ports
- VxLAN bridging and routing for network virtualization overlays
- Support for Cisco ACI fabric as leaf switch line card
- 104 MB packet buffer for traffic burst absorption
- Hot-swappable design for zero-downtime maintenance
- Support for Cisco Fabric Extender (FEX) technology
- Advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities
- Support for direct-attach copper (DAC) and optical transceivers
- Optimized for 10G server connectivity and 40G uplinks
- IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and trunking
- Comprehensive SNMP, CLI, and API-based management
- Energy-efficient design with port-side intake cooling
- Compatible with redundant supervisor modules and fabric architecture

FAQs

Q: Which Nexus 9500 chassis models support the N9K-X9564PX line card?
A: The N9K-X9564PX is compatible with all Nexus 9500 modular chassis, including the 4-slot (N9K-C9504), 8-slot (N9K-C9508), and 16-slot (N9K-C9516) models. It requires appropriate fabric modules to achieve full bandwidth.

Q: How many fabric modules are required for maximum bandwidth?
A: The N9K-X9564PX requires 3 fabric modules (N9K-C9504-FM, N9K-C9508-FM, or N9K-C9516-FM depending on chassis) to achieve full 1.28 Tbps non-blocking bandwidth and 960 Mpps forwarding rate.

Q: Does this line card support both NX-OS and ACI modes?
A: Yes, the N9K-X9564PX supports both traditional NX-OS standalone mode and Cisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) mode, making it suitable for leaf-spine deployments in ACI fabrics as well as classic data center architectures.

Q: What types of optics are supported on the SFP+ and QSFP+ ports?
A: The SFP+ ports support standard Cisco 1G and 10G optics including SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-LR, and 10G Twinax direct-attach copper cables. The QSFP+ ports support 40G optics such as QSFP-40G-SR4, QSFP-40G-LR4, and 40G QSFP+ DAC cables. Check the Cisco Transceiver Compatibility Matrix for the complete list.

Q: Can this line card be used for both access and aggregation layer deployments?
A: Yes, the N9K-X9564PX is designed for both access-layer deployments (connecting servers at 1G/10G) and aggregation-layer use cases (uplinks via the 4x 40G QSFP+ ports), offering flexibility in data center network design.
