The Cisco N9K-C93360YC-FX2 is a high-performance leaf switch within the Nexus 9300-FX2 series, purpose-built for modern data centers, cloud, and enterprise campus networks. It delivers a blend of dense high-speed interfaces and advanced programmability to support converged workloads, spine-leaf topologies, and automation-first infrastructures. With 96 fixed 25G SFP28 ports and 12 fixed 100G QSFP28 uplink ports, the N9K-C93360YC-FX2 offers exceptional bandwidth aggregation — up to 7.2 Tbps bi-directional capacity and throughput of up to 2.8 billion packets per second (bpps). The switch supports both NX-OS and ACI modes, enabling flexible deployment models in data centers, whether traditional or software-defined. It includes features like MACsec (layer 2 encryption), quality-of-service mechanisms, advanced telemetry, buffer management, and deep integration with Cisco’s automation tools. Its architecture supports high resiliency and scalability — with buffer isolation, dynamic buffer protection, Approximate Fair Drop (AFD), and hardware-based congestion control to ensure consistent performance even under heavy traffic bursts. In summary, the N9K-C93360YC-FX2 is built for next-generation data centers, offering dense 25G leaf interfaces, high-capacity uplinks, robust programmability, and integration with SDN and automation frameworks.
