Hallittava verkkokytkin Cisco N9K-C93108TC-FX3P 48x 10G Ethernet 1U

The Cisco Nexus 9300 platform, represented here by the managed switch Cisco N9K-C93108TC-FX3P, is a fixed, high-performance 1U data center switch built on Cisco Cloud Scale technology. It provides 48 10G Ethernet ports in a compact chassis and is designed to support cloud-scale deployments, a growing number of endpoints, and telemetry-driven services while maintaining wire-rate security and low latency. The hardware supports migration paths from older server and aggregation speeds to 25 Gbps at the server edge and 50/100 Gbps at aggregation, offering investment protection through large buffers and scalable Layer 2/Layer 3 performance.

Advantages

The switch combines high port density (48x 10G), a switching capacity of 2160 Gbit/s and a large MAC address table to meet the demands of virtualized data centers and enterprise networks. Built-in telemetry capabilities export comprehensive Tetration Analytics data at line rate without adding packet latency. Flexible interface options and a modern system architecture enable transparent migration from legacy speeds while preserving performance and scalability.

Suitable for

• Data center leaf or top-of-rack switching
• High-density 10G server connectivity
• Enterprise aggregation layer requiring high throughput
• Environments using telemetry and analytics (Cisco Tetration)

How to use

Rack-mount the 1U switch in a standard equipment cabinet and connect power and uplink/downlink cables according to your network design. Use the management interface to configure VLANs, Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing, access control lists and telemetry export settings. When integrating with Cisco Tetration or other analytics platforms, enable line-rate telemetry features to export flow, interpacket variation and context details at the configured interval.

Recommendations

Place the switch in a properly cooled, ventilated rack and ensure redundant power feeds where available. For migration from older port speeds, plan uplink and server NIC upgrades to take advantage of 25/50/100 Gbps migration paths. Enable telemetry export only to authorized collectors and tune export intervals to balance visibility with collector capacity.
