Product Description
The Cisco Nexus 9348GC‑FXP is a high‑performance, 1U top‑of‑rack switch designed for scalable data center and enterprise deployments. Key Features 48 configurable 100 Mb/1 Gb BASE‑T downlink ports 4 SFP28 ports supporting 1/10/25 Gb and 2 QSFP28 ports for 40/100 Gb uplinks Cloud‑Scale architecture delivering 696 Gbps switching and up to ~1.2 billion pps throughput Advanced NX‑OS features: VXLAN EVPN, ACI mode, MACsec, ACLs, and telemetry Redundant fans/power, 40 MB buffer, and robust environmental tolerance (0–40 °C, up to 4,000 m) This switch excels in high-density server racks, enabling seamless migration from Gigabit to 25/100 Gb uplinks and supporting converged workloads. Ideal for low-latency environments such as big‑data, virtualization, and leaf-spine fabrics in modern data centers.

Use Cases
The N9K-C9348GC-FXP Cisco Nexus 9300 switch is engineered for high-density top-of-rack deployments in enterprise data centers and cloud service provider environments. It is well-suited for IT teams managing virtualization-heavy workloads requiring low latency and scalable uplink flexibility. How It's Used: Aggregating server traffic in hyperscale data centers to support virtual machine and container networking with low latency and high throughput. Deploying as a top-of-rack switch in private cloud infrastructures to enable dynamic segmentation with VXLAN EVPN and MACsec for secure multi-tenant environments. Supporting storage clusters by providing consistent 1Gbps server connectivity alongside high-speed uplinks for rapid data flow between compute and storage nodes. Facilitating network telemetry and analytics in enterprise IT to optimize performance and troubleshoot complex traffic patterns in real time. Enabling flexible uplink configurations in edge computing sites where variable bandwidth and secure, low-latency switching are critical. By integrating high port density with advanced Layer 2/3 features, this switch supports operational efficiency and scalability in environments that demand reliable, high-performance network fabrics. Its adaptable uplinks and low latency characteristics make it a key component for modern data center and cloud infrastructure deployments.
