N2K-C2224TP-1GE is a Layer 2 fabric extender with 24 100/1000BASE-T copper host ports and two fixed 10G SFP+ fabric uplinks. The Nexus 2224TP GE attaches servers to a parent Nexus switch rather than operating independently. Its non-PoE interfaces suit server data connections and server management interfaces. The parent supplies the switching policies, configuration, and software image, while the fabric extender operates as a remote line card. Discontinued N2K-C2248TP-1GE increases copper density to 48 host ports for larger existing installations. The Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders support top-of-rack and end-of-row arrangements, but the parent-switch dependency remains central to either design. This unit therefore belongs on an order for an existing compatible fabric-extender architecture, not as a standalone replacement for an ordinary Ethernet access switch.

88 Gbps hardware forwarding capacity and 65 Mpps forwarding rate describe the unit's packet-handling performance. 95W maximum input power supplies the chassis-level figure for electrical planning, distinct from an individual power supply's output rating. N2K-C2224TP-1GE receives its configuration and software image from the parent through in-band communication. Management paths include the parent's CLI, Cisco DCNM, SNMP v1/v2/v3, and XML NETCONF interface; Syslog and RMON support monitoring integration. Cisco EtherChannel on fabric uplinks and PortChannel on server ports provide link-aggregation options under parent control. Local classification supports 256 ACL entries for traffic-policy treatment. VLAN trunks and private VLAN support extend segmentation to attached hosts, with promiscuous private VLAN behavior restricted to uplinks. These functions do not turn the fabric extender into an independent Layer 3 switch: forwarding policy and operational management remain tied to the parent Nexus system.
Order N2K-C2224TP-1GE new sealed or certified refurbished, specifying condition, quantity, and required accessories on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM's new warranty is up to 3-year extended and certified refurbished coverage is up to 1 year, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty ended with service on November 30, 2021. POs are accepted, government buyers receive Net-30, and enterprise volume orders have regional stock/RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA, with advance replacement.

When an existing server rack needs additional copper attachment, the 1.2:1 host-to-fabric oversubscription ratio provides a starting point for traffic planning. Compare expected server traffic with the parent-facing path, then confirm the attachment topology and size the fabric connections before issuing the purchase order.
When a staging environment must reproduce production packet sizes, validate the 9216-byte jumbo-frame limit against the parent switch and attached server settings. Include the fabric extender in the complete test topology rather than an isolated bench network. Specify the packet-size policy and acceptance tests before ordering production quantities.
Standalone switching without a parent
A parent Nexus switch is required; this fabric extender cannot operate independently. The current migration target, N9K-C9348GC-FXP, changes the design to a switch with 48 copper ports.
10G copper server connections
Copper host interfaces support 100BASE-T/1000BASE-T, not 10GBASE-T. The 10G SFP+ interfaces are parent-facing fabric connections and cannot substitute for 10G copper host interfaces.
Continued Cisco service coverage
Cisco service ended November 30, 2021, so a new support term cannot restore coverage. N9K-C9348GC-FXP is the current migration target beyond the discontinued fabric-extender replacements.

N2K-C2224TP-1GE identifies a Nexus 2224TP Gigabit Ethernet fabric extender: N2K identifies the Nexus 2000 family, C2224TP identifies the 24-port copper model, and 1GE identifies Gigabit host connectivity. This configuration includes two N2200-PAC-400W AC supplies and one N2K-C2248-FAN module with standard port-side-exhaust airflow.
The Nexus 2224TP GE is managed in-band through its parent Nexus switch using CLI, Cisco DCNM, SNMP v1/v2/v3, or XML NETCONF. CiscoWorks, Syslog, and RMON provide additional management or monitoring integration. Configuration and software are downloaded from the parent rather than administered as an independent switch.
N2K-C2224TP-1GE is discontinued: end of sale was November 2, 2016, and Cisco service ended November 30, 2021. Its immediate replacement, N2K-C2248TP-E, is also discontinued, having reached end of sale August 24, 2022. The current migration chain leads to N9K-C9348GC-FXP.
N2K-C2224TP-1GE supports FET-10G, SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-SR-S, SFP-10G-LR, and SFP-10G-LR-S on its fabric interfaces. Compatible copper options include SFP-H10GB-CU1M, SFP-H10GB-CU3M, and SFP-H10GB-CU5M. Select the connection medium and reach for the complete parent-to-extender link, and specify the required link components separately from the base unit.
Yes, N2K-C2224TP-1GE includes two N2200-PAC-400W AC supplies supporting 1:1 power redundancy. Both are hot-swappable and accept 90-264V AC input. The supplied N2K-C2248-FAN module uses matching port-side-exhaust airflow, so replacement power and cooling components must preserve that airflow direction within the chassis.
N2K-C2224TP-1GE provides 88 Gbps hardware forwarding capacity and a 65 Mpps forwarding rate, with fabric bandwidth of 20 Gbps in each direction. The 40 Gbps full-duplex fabric figure is separate from the hardware forwarding rating. Capacity planning must distinguish host-side traffic from the available parent-facing path.
No, the Nexus 2224TP GE requires a parent Nexus switch because the fabric extender operates as a remote line card. The parent supplies configuration, software, and switching policy, and traffic passes upstream. A standalone deployment therefore requires a different switching architecture rather than a configuration change.
N2K-C2224TP-1GE specifies two N2200-PAC-400W AC supplies with standard airflow, while N2K-C2224TP permits power and airflow selection. Both configurations are discontinued. The fixed bundle matches an existing standard-airflow AC installation; the configurable legacy order requires explicit confirmation of the installed power and airflow combination.
N2K-C2248TP-1GE has 48 copper host ports, while N2K-C2224TP-1GE has 24. Both configurations are discontinued. For existing installations, the higher-density model corresponds to larger copper server populations; the smaller model matches racks already built around the 24-port fabric extender and its established attachment requirements.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP provides four 10/25G interfaces and two 40/100G interfaces, while N2K-C2224TP-1GE has two 10G fabric interfaces. N9K-C9348GC-FXP is the current migration target beyond the discontinued fabric-extender replacement. The newer switch addresses faster aggregation requirements; the original unit serves existing 10G fabric-extender attachment designs.
N2K-C2224TP-1GE is offered new sealed or certified refurbished with ORM coverage: new up to a 3-year extended warranty, refurbished up to 1 year. Both conditions include 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty ended with Cisco service on November 30, 2021.
