Overview
The Cisco Nexus 9332D-GX2B switch (N9K-C9332D-GX2B) is a 1-rack unit (RU), fixed-port switch designed
for spine-leaf-APIC deployment in data centers.
This switch includes the following ports:
• 400-Gigabit QSFP-DD ports (32)
• 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports (2)
• Management ports (one 10/100/1000BASE-T port and one SFP port)
• Console port (RS-232)
• USB port
• If MACsec is enabled on 8 ports, then you can not use high powered (>12W) optics.
• If MACsec is enabled on 4 ports, then you can use 4 ports with high powered (>12W) optics.
• If no MACsec is enabled, then you can use 8 ports with high powered (>12W) optics.
Note
Default port-profile information for this switch:
• Default port profile (Leaf): 24 downlinks and 8 fabric links + 2x1/10G downlinks
Leaf/Spine role considerations:
• This switch's default role is as a leaf switch.
• The default fabric links (ports 25-32) must be used for initial switch discovery via another switch.
• To change the switch from the default role, you must proceed as follows: the node appears as a discovered
device in the fabric inventory view, you must set the role of the switch (spine or leaf) and the switch
automatically goes for reboot to come up in the configured role.
