About the Cisco Nexus 9300-GX2 Series Switch
L2/L3 switching with BGP/OSPF, VXLAN/EVPN support—these determine your fabric role. The Cisco Nexus 9300-GX2 Series Switch (part number N9K-C9332GX2-B) is a 1 RU fixed-configuration platform engineered for hyperscale data center and campus core deployments. Built on the Cisco Cloud Scale ASIC, this switch delivers 25.6 Tbps switching capacity with a forwarding rate of approximately 9.52 Bpps and sub-microsecond cut-through forwarding latency. The 32 x 400GbE QSFP-DD ports support 400GbE, 100GbE, and 40GbE connectivity via breakout and optic selection, making it ideal for network engineers designing next-generation fabric architectures.
Cisco's comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 feature set includes VXLAN, EVPN, STP, MSTP, VPC (Virtual Port Channel), BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, PIM, Multicast, and Segment Routing (SR-MPLS), alongside industry-standard security such as MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) on all ports, ACLs, Control Plane Policing, and RBAC. The switch operates in both Cisco NX-OS standalone and Cisco ACI leaf/spine modes. For IT procurement teams and infrastructure architects, the platform includes dual redundant hot-swappable AC or DC power supplies, hot-swappable redundant fan modules with configurable airflow, and advanced telemetry via Model-Driven Telemetry (MDT) with gRPC, In-Band Network Telemetry (INT), SNMP, and sFlow. Management options span NX-API REST, NETCONF/YANG, OpenConfig, and integration with Ansible, Puppet, and Chef. Operating range is 0°C to 40°C with 64 MB shared packet buffer.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cisco Nexus 9300-GX2 Series Switch
Does the Cisco Nexus 9300-GX2 Series 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.
