About the Cisco Nexus 9300-GX2 48-Port Spine Switch
Built with redundant hot-swappable AC/DC power supplies, the Cisco Nexus 9300-GX2 48-Port Spine Switch (part number N9K-C9332GX2) delivers enterprise-grade reliability for mission-critical data center environments. This 2U fixed-configuration switch is engineered for network engineers and infrastructure architects who demand high-density 400G connectivity without compromise on availability or performance.
The Cisco Nexus 9300-GX2 combines exceptional throughput with modern operational flexibility. With 32 total 400G QSFP-DD ports, a switching capacity of 12.8 Tbps, and a forwarding rate of approximately 9.6 Bpps, this switch handles spine-tier traffic loads with ease. The integrated Cisco Cloud Scale ASIC supports flexible breakout configurations—400G to 4x100G or 4x25G per port—allowing you to optimize port density for your specific topology. Operating in both NX-OS standalone and Cisco ACI modes, it adapts to your deployment model. Layer 2 services include IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, RSTP, MSTP, and VPC, while Layer 3 routing covers BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, PIM, VXLAN, and BGP EVPN. Lossless transport capabilities—PFC, ECN, and RoCEv2 support—ensure reliable delivery for latency-sensitive workloads. Network programmability is comprehensive: NETCONF, RESTCONF, gRPC, OpenConfig, Python scripting, Ansible, and Terraform integration streamline automation. Streaming telemetry via gRPC and in-band network telemetry (INT) provide deep visibility. Dual management interfaces (one dedicated out-of-band RJ-45 and one console RJ-45) ensure reliable device access, while hot-swappable fan modules and flexible airflow options (port-side intake front-to-rear or port-side exhaust rear-to-front) simplify maintenance and thermal management in dense rack environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cisco Nexus 9300-GX2 48-Port Spine Switch
Does the Cisco Nexus 9300-GX2 48-Port 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.
