About the Cisco Nexus 9364EX-GX Spine Switch
The Cisco Nexus 9364EX-GX spine switch delivers 12.8 Tbps switching capacity with full duplex performance and a forwarding rate of up to 12.8 Tbps, making it a line-rate powerhouse for high-density data center fabrics. Built as a 1RU fixed-configuration spine switch within the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series, this platform features 64 × 400G QSFP-DD ports, enabling extreme port density and future-ready throughput for mission-critical environments. Network architects and infrastructure teams choose the Nexus 9364EX-GX (part number N9K-C9364EX-GX) to collapse the spine layer and maximize bisection bandwidth.
The Nexus 9364EX-GX runs in Cisco ACI mode or Cisco NX-OS standalone mode, offering deployment flexibility for both controller-driven and traditional architectures. Built-in support for VXLAN and EVPN overlay protocols, combined with advanced routing (BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, PIM, and Segment Routing via SR-MPLS and SRv6), ensures seamless integration into modern network designs. Operational visibility is comprehensive: streaming telemetry via gRPC, SNMP, and NetFlow/sFlow enable real-time monitoring across distributed fabrics. The switch includes redundant hot-swappable AC and HVDC power supply options, flexible airflow configurations (front-to-rear and rear-to-front), and security features such as MACsec encryption and RBAC. Operating across 0°C to 40°C with storage tolerance to −40°C to 70°C, the platform meets stringent data center environmental standards and holds UL, CE, and FCC Class A certifications.
Target Deployment Scenarios
- Data center spine layer interconnects for ultra-low-latency east-west traffic
- AI/ML fabric acceleration requiring massive aggregate throughput and minimal jitter
- HPC interconnect backbones supporting tightly coupled compute clusters
- Cloud and service provider core switching with redundant power and advanced telemetry
- Multi-tenant environments leveraging Cisco ACI policy model and encryption

Frequently Asked Questions about Cisco Nexus 9364EX-GX Spine Switch
Does the Cisco Nexus 9364EX-GX Spine Switch support our SFP transceivers?
Most enterprise switches ship without transceivers; we quote vendor-matched optics alongside the switch (Cisco-genuine for Catalyst/Nexus, HPE/Aruba-genuine for CX, Juniper-genuine for QFX/EX). Third-party MSA-compatible options are also available at lower cost — specify preference in the RFQ.
Do you provide stacking / VPC / MLAG configuration help?
Yes — our network engineers can pre-stage stacking, VPC pairs, MLAG, EVPN-VXLAN, or fabric extender configurations in advance, or provide remote commissioning. Add commissioning to your RFQ.
What software licensing is included?
Switch software licensing varies by vendor. Cisco DNA / Cisco DCNM, Aruba CX licensing tiers, Juniper Premium, NVIDIA Cumulus — we quote the licensing tier matched to your features (BGP-EVPN, telemetry, automation). No surprises later.
Is the support global?
Yes — manufacturer hardware support is global (return-to-vendor or advance replacement depending on tier). For 24x7 same-day on-site replacement, attach a SmartNet / Foundation Care / J-Care contract during quoting.
