N9K-C9364C Description
Cisco Nexus N9K-C9364C (Nexus 9364C) is a fixed 2RU spine switch delivering 64 QSFP28 40/100-GbE ports plus two 1/10-GbE SFP+ management/utility ports for high-density leaf-spine fabrics. With 12.84 Tbps switching capacity and 4.3 bpps forwarding, the 9364C provides non-blocking performance, hardware telemetry options, and per-port wire-rate MACsec on the last 16 QSFP28 ports to secure spine interconnects. Breakout is not supported, simplifying design and operations. The platform runs in Cisco NX-OS mode or Cisco ACI spine mode to support automated, policy-driven data center networks.

Key Features
Ultra-dense 100G spine for leaf-spine scale
64 × QSFP28 at 40/100G in 2RU enables compact, power-efficient spines for medium-to-large VXLAN EVPN or ACI fabrics.
Consistent security for core links
Wire-rate MACsec on the last 16 QSFP28 ports secures leaf-to-spine or border-to-spine uplinks without throughput penalties.
Deterministic high throughput and low jitter
12.84 Tbps, 4.3 bpps and 40 MB shared buffers keep queues shallow under fan-in bursts common to east-west traffic.
Operations made simple
No breakout plus front/back airflow options, hot-swappable PSUs/fans, and dual OOB management streamline deployment and serviceability.
Programmable and fabric-agnostic
Runs NX-OS or ACI; integrates with model-driven telemetry and modern automation stacks to standardize Day-0 to Day-N workflows.
Efficient power profile for dense cores
Typical 429 W (AC) with high-efficiency PSU choices (AC, DC, HVAC/HVDC) reduces TCO across multi-chassis spines.
Applications Scenarios
Cloud & enterprise data center cores
As a 100G spine for VXLAN EVPN or ACI, aggregates thousands of 25/100G leaf links with predictable latency and simple scaling.
Telco & service-provider DCs
Secures inter-POD and border connections with MACsec while providing high route/ACL scale for multi-tenant network slices.
Financial, research & media backbones
Handles bursty traffic patterns from trading, HPC checkpoints, and render farms; hardware telemetry aids rapid troubleshooting.
