Product overview

The Cisco Nexus® 9300-FX Series switches belongs to the fixed Cisco Nexus 9000 platform based on

Cisco Cloud Scale technology. The platform support cost-effective cloud-scale deployments, an increased

number of endpoints, and cloud services with wire-rate security and telemetry. The platform is built on

modern system architecture designed to provide high performance and meet the evolving needs of highly

scalable data centers and growing enterprises.

Cisco Nexus 9300-FX series switches offer a variety of interface options to transparently migrate existing

data centers from 100-Mbps, 1-Gbps, and 10-Gbps speeds to 25- Gbps at the server, and from 10- and

40-Gbps speeds to 50- and 100- Gbps at the aggregation layer. The platforms provide investment

protection for customers, delivering large buffers, highly flexible Layer 2 and Layer 3 scalability, and

performance to meet the changing needs of virtualized data centers and automated cloud environments.

Cisco provides two modes of operation for Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches. Organizations can use Cisco

NX-OS Software to deploy the switches in standard Cisco Nexus switch environments (NX-OS mode).

Organizations can also deploy the infrastructure that is ready to support the Cisco Application Centric

Infrastructure (Cisco ACI™) platform to take full advantage of an automated, policy-based, systems-

management approach (ACI mode).

The Cisco Nexus 93180YC-FX Switch (Figure 1) is a 1RU switch with latency of less than 1 microsecond

that supports 3.6 Tbps of bandwidth and 1.2 bpps. The 48 downlink ports on the 93180YC-FX are capable

of supporting 1-, 10-, or 25-Gbps Ethernet or as 16-, 32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports1, creating a point of

convergence for primary storage, compute servers, and back-end storage resources at the top of rack.

The uplink can support up to six 40- and 100-Gbps ports, or a combination of 1-

, 10-

, 25-

, 40, 50-

, and

100-Gbps connectivity, offering flexible migration options.

The switch has IEEE compliant, FC-FEC and RS-FEC enabled for 25-Gbps support. All ports support wire-

rate MACsec encryption2. Please see the Licensing guide section to enable features on the platform.
