Overview
The Cisco Nexus 93600CD-GX switch (N9K-C93600CD-GX) is a 1-rack unit (RU), fixed-port switch designed
for spine-leaf-APIC deployment in data centers.
This switch has the following ports:
• 28 10/40/100-Gigabit QSFP28 ports (ports 1-28)
• 8 10/40/100/400-Gigabit QSFP-DD ports (ports 29-36)
• Two management ports (one 10/100/1000BASE-T port and one 1-Gbps SFP port)
• One console port (RS-232)
• 1 USB port
This switch offers QSA 10G support on all ports.
Note
There is no support for 1-Gigabit nor 100-Megabit optics on this switch.
Note
For breakout information, see the Cisco APIC Layer 2 Networking Configuration Guide.
Leaf/Spine role considerations:
• This switch's default role is as a leaf switch.
• The default fabric links (ports 29-36) must be used for initial switch discovery via another switch.
• To change the switch from the default role, the switch must be rebooted (you must select the role of leaf
or spine, except in the case of the default spine switch being connected directly to the APIC).
• A default spine switch that is connected directly to the APIC will be converted to a leaf switch,
automatically.
