1280 Gbps switching capacity and 952 Mpps forwarding define the hardware packet-processing limits. N2K-C2248PQ draws 234W maximum, which sets the facility power allowance rather than the rating of an individual supply.

N2K-C2248PQ combines N2K for the Nexus 2000 family with C2248PQ for the Nexus 2248PQ 10GE Fabric Extender. Its configuration has 48 1/10G host ports and four 40G fabric ports.
N2K-C2248PQ is managed in-band through its parent switch using CLI, DCNM, SNMP and an XML interface, including NETCONF. Configuration is controlled by the parent rather than an independent local management interface.
N2K-C2248PQ is discontinued: end of sale was November 2, 2016, and Cisco support ended November 30, 2021. An order does not restore Cisco service eligibility.
ORM Systems offers N2K-C2248PQ new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty is no longer supported: Cisco service ended November 30, 2021.
The Nexus 2248PQ accepts N2200-PAC-400W / N2200-PAC-400W-B / N2200-PDC-400W / N2200-PDC-350W-B. The selected power and airflow configuration determines the supplied pair.
N2K-C2248PQ consumes 234W maximum; use that limit when allocating facility power.
N2K-C2248PQ has 48 host ports, while N2K-C2232PP has 32. Both are discontinued; compare their density when matching an existing installation or spare requirement, not when selecting a current replacement.
N2K-C2248PQ is the populated configuration; N2K-C2248PQ-10GE= is the discontinued spare chassis without power and cooling components. The populated unit suits an assembled spare requirement, while the spare chassis requires a separately specified component set.
N2K-C2248PQ host ports support 1/10G, while N9K-C93180YC-FX3 host ports support 1/10/25G. The former is a legacy estate-matching purchase; the latter is the current replacement-chain endpoint for migration planning.
Cisco software maintenance releases for the Nexus 2248PQ ended November 2, 2017. Hardware procurement does not restart software maintenance or extend the final Cisco support date.
