Key Features

High-density 1GBASE-T access with modern uplinks

Provides 48× copper 100M/1G downlinks plus 4× SFP28 (1/10/25G) and 2× QSFP28 (40/100G) uplinks, enabling smooth migration from legacy Gigabit Ethernet networks to 25/100 Gigabit backbones.

Exceptional switching and forwarding performance

Delivers 0.696 Tbps switching capacity and over 517 Mpps forwarding rate, ensuring wire-speed Layer 2/Layer 3 throughput for high-traffic workloads.

Advanced buffering for bursty traffic

Equipped with 40 MB shared buffer and intelligent congestion management, ideal for handling unpredictable east-west data center traffic and large file transfers.

Flexible deployment in data center and enterprise edge

1RU compact design with port-side intake or exhaust airflow, redundant hot-swappable fans, and dual PSU options for mission-critical environments.

NX-OS programmability and automation

Supports POAP, NX-API, Python scripting, and integration with Ansible, Chef, and Puppet for automated provisioning and configuration in software-defined networking (SDN) setups.

Energy-efficient and low heat output

Typical 150W AC power draw reduces operational costs while maintaining high-density switching, suitable for green data center initiatives and constrained power budgets.

Applications Scenarios

Enterprise data center access and management networks

Perfect for connecting large numbers of 1G servers, management interfaces, or legacy systems while leveraging 25G/100G uplinks to aggregation layers.

High-performance computing (HPC) and big data clusters

Supports heavy east-west traffic patterns with large buffer capacity, ensuring low latency and consistent performance for analytical workloads.

Service provider and campus core migration projects

Enables ISPs, telecom operators, and large campus networks to upgrade backbone speeds without replacing existing copper access infrastructure.

Model Selection Guide N9K-C92348GC-X

  • Dense 1G copper access with modern uplinks:
    Choose N9K-C92348GC-X when most servers or management switches are still 1GBASE‑T, but you need 25G SFP28 for local break‑out and 100G uplinks to spine/aggregation. Power draw is low (≈150 W typ.), and 40 MB buffer handles bursty east‑west traffic.
  • All‑fiber 25G access or 100G‑heavy leaf:
    If your racks are already 25G fiber to servers and you want more uplink headroom, pick N9K‑C92300YC (48×25G + 18×100G) for higher fabric bandwidth and line‑rate VXLAN routing.
  • Balanced leaf with mixed uplink options and compact depth:
    For mixed QSFP uplink patterns in a 1RU, N9K‑C92160YC‑X is a strong fit: 48×1/10/25G downlinks and flexible 40/100G uplinks with lower typical power and VXLAN routing.
  • Airflow / aisle planning:
    The 92348GC‑X supports port‑side intake or exhaust fan/PSU options. For tight cabinets, Cisco’s N9K‑AIRFLOW‑SLV sleeve (min 636.49 mm, max 748.25 mm rail depth) helps maintain proper cooling alignment.

    Using these for management network (OOB). The 100M/1G/10G flexibility is great. Genuine Nexus.

Questions & Answers

  • What does N9K-C92348GC-X provide for access layers?

    A 1G-dense Nexus 9000 leaf with 48 copper Gigabit access ports and high-speed uplinks (model includes SFP+/QSFP uplinks). It’s ideal for ToR access needing many 1G servers or appliances.
  • How does it compare to C93180YC?

    C92348GC-X focuses on 1G copper access density, whereas C93180YC favors 10/25G fiber access. Select based on server NIC speeds and cabling plant.
  • Is VXLAN EVPN supported?

    Yes. It can participate as an EVPN leaf with policy-based segmentation across the fabric. Validate software scale and feature set for your environment.
  • What about PoE support?

    This model is non-PoE. If PoE is required at the access layer, consider Catalyst campus switches instead of Nexus data-center platforms.
  • How do I uplink the C92348GC-X?

    Use its SFP+/QSFP uplinks to connect to 25/100G spines or aggregation switches. LACP and ECMP provide redundancy and scale.
  • Can it do vPC/MLAG?

    Yes. Nexus vPC allows dual-homing downstream devices for fast convergence and redundancy without Spanning Tree blocking.
  • Any QoS considerations?

    Implement priority queues for storage or latency-sensitive traffic and enforce fabric-wide QoS policies within EVPN/VXLAN design.
  • What optics/cables are recommended?

    Use SR/LR optics for fiber uplinks, DAC/AOC for short distances, and high-quality Cat6/6A for 1G copper access ports.
