Copper Server Access Through Parent Switch Management

N2K-C2232TM-10GE is a Layer 2 fabric extender with 32 copper 1/10GBASE-T host ports and eight 10G fabric interfaces on the included N2K-M2800P module. The Nexus 2000 architecture extends a compatible parent switch rather than operating independently. Unlike the discontinued N2K-C2232TM-10GE= spare, this configuration includes two N2200-PAC-400W power supplies and one N2K-C2232-FAN module.

Technical Details

800 Gbps hardware forwarding and 595 Mpps describe internal performance; 160 Gbps full-duplex fabric bandwidth remains a separate constraint. N2K-C2232TM-10GE uses 4:1 oversubscription, so aggregate host traffic must be sized against the fabric connections. FCoE is not supported.

Ordering

ORM Systems offers N2K-C2232TM-10GE new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot, optics and module bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status. ORM warranty coverage is up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units or up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco coverage ended November 30, 2021. Specify the condition and complete order contents before issuing the PO. Enterprise and volume orders can use accepted POs, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US, and MEA regional operations.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Fabric optics ordered separately

Fabric-link optics must be ordered separately for the N2K-M2800P module. FET-10G supports fabric links only and requires a matching FET-10G endpoint.

Follow the replacement chain

Replacement planning must continue beyond the discontinued N2K-C2232TM-E and N2K-C2348TQ-E. The current successor is N9K-C93108TC-FX3P, requiring a change from fabric extender to switch architecture.

Best For

Legacy Spare Replacement

When an existing rack needs a like-for-like spare, the original Cisco shipping window ended January 31, 2017. Specify the required condition and complete assembly on the purchase order, including power-on, POST, clean-boot, and rated-speed port checks for certified refurbished stock.

Server Cabling Staging

Before a staged server-cabling change, Category 6, 6a, or 7 cabling supports 10GBASE-T server connections. Inventory the server connections and fabric-link components separately, then specify the cable category, connection lengths, and required transceiver quantities before releasing the purchase order for staging.

Not Suitable If

Independent switching without a parent

The fabric extender requires a parent switch. The current migration target, N9K-C93108TC-FX3P, changes the design to a switch with 48 copper ports and six 100G interfaces.

Active Cisco support for this chassis

Cisco service ended November 30, 2021. The migration chain now ends at N9K-C93108TC-FX3P; plan a replacement deployment rather than a support renewal for this chassis.

Questions & Answers

What does the N2K-C2232TM-10GE part number mean?

N2K identifies Nexus 2000, C2232TM identifies the 32-port copper fabric extender model, and 10GE identifies its 10 Gigabit Ethernet configuration. This configuration includes dual AC power and standard airflow.

How is the Cisco Nexus 2000 fabric extender managed?

Cisco Nexus 2000 management runs through the parent switch using CLI, DCNM, CiscoWorks, SNMP v1/v2/v3, and XML NETCONF, with in-band configuration delivery.

Is N2K-C2232TM-10GE end of life?

Yes, N2K-C2232TM-10GE ended sale November 2, 2016, and Cisco support ended November 30, 2021. Cisco service is no longer available for this chassis.

Which conditions and warranties does ORM Systems offer for N2K-C2232TM-10GE?

New sealed and certified refurbished N2K-C2232TM-10GE orders carry ORM coverage: up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units or up to 1 year for refurbished units, plus 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty has ended; Cisco service ended November 30, 2021.

What is the difference between N2K-C2232TM-10GE and N2K-C2232TM-10GE=?

N2K-C2232TM-10GE includes power supplies and a fan module; N2K-C2232TM-10GE= excludes those components. Both are discontinued. The former matches complete-assembly replacements; the latter matches legacy component-reuse spares.

What is the difference between N2K-C2232TM-10GE and N2K-C2248TP-1GE?

N2K-C2232TM-10GE provides 32 host ports; N2K-C2248TP-1GE provides 48. Both are discontinued. Match the former to existing 32-port installations and the latter to legacy 48-port inventory.

What is the difference between N2K-C2232TM-10GE and N9K-C93108TC-FX3P?

N2K-C2232TM-10GE uses 10G fabric interfaces, whereas N9K-C93108TC-FX3P provides six 100G interfaces. The discontinued fabric extender serves legacy replacement requirements; the current successor suits buyers changing to the newer switch architecture.

How much power does N2K-C2232TM-10GE consume?

N2K-C2232TM-10GE has a maximum input power consumption of 386W. Size the rack power allocation using that maximum rather than its typical operating draw.

Which replacement follows the Nexus 2232TM lifecycle chain?

N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is the current successor after the discontinued N2K-C2232TM-E and N2K-C2348TQ-E. The chain changes from a fabric extender to a switch, so migration requires more than a chassis substitution.

Does N2K-C2232TM-10GE still receive software maintenance?

No, N2K-C2232TM-10GE reached its end of software maintenance on November 2, 2017. Cisco no longer develops, repairs, maintains, or tests software for this product.
