176 Gbps hardware forwarding and 131 Mpps support server-access traffic. N2K-C2248TF-1GE receives its software and configuration from the parent switch rather than operating independently.
Order N2K-C2248TF-1GE in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, and specify the required accessory contents on the PO. 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 provides up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units, up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Cisco coverage ended November 30, 2021. For enterprise and volume orders, PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement are available across UK, EU, US, and MEA regional stock and RMA operations.

When an existing installation needs a maintenance spare, distinguish equipment replacement from renewal of manufacturer service: Cisco support ended November 30, 2021. Specify the exact installed part number, condition, required accessories, and acceptance criteria before releasing the purchase order.
When a refresh proposal identifies N2K-C2248TF-E as the replacement, that interim model is also discontinued, with end of sale on August 24, 2022. Keep a like-for-like maintenance purchase separate from an architecture refresh, and identify which requirement the purchase order must satisfy.
Standalone operation without a parent switch
N2K-C2248TF-1GE requires a parent Nexus switch. An order intended to replace independently managed hardware needs an architecture review rather than a like-for-like substitution.
25G or 100G uplink connections
N2K-C2248TF-1GE stops at 10G fabric links. N9K-C9348GC-FXP offers four 10/25G ports plus two 40/100G ports; evaluate the architecture change before substitution.
Active Cisco hardware service coverage
N2K-C2248TF-1GE passed its last date of support on November 30, 2021. The forward migration target is N9K-C9348GC-FXP, not the discontinued N2K-C2248TF-E.

N2K identifies Nexus 2000; C2248TF identifies the 2248TP transceiver bundle; 1GE identifies Gigabit host connectivity.
N2K-C2248TF-1GE uses parent-switch CLI, SNMP, XML/NETCONF, DCNM, and CiscoWorks management.
N2K-C2248TF-1GE is discontinued: end of sale was November 2, 2016, and Cisco support ended November 30, 2021. A sealed unit does not restart those milestones, so distinguish physical condition from manufacturer service eligibility when specifying an order.
ORM Systems offers N2K-C2248TF-1GE new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty no longer provides coverage beyond the November 30, 2021 support boundary.
No. N2K-C2248TF-1GE requires a parent Nexus switch.
N2K-C2248TF-1GE includes eight FET-10G transceivers; FET-10G connections require matching FET-10G endpoints.
No. N2K-C2248TF-1GE is non-PoE.
N2K-C2248TF-1GE ships with two N2200-PAC-400W AC supplies.
N2K-C2248TF permits power and airflow selection; N2K-C2248TF-1GE fixes AC power and standard airflow. Both are discontinued. Use this distinction to verify an existing configuration, not to select a current replacement.
N2K-C2248TF-1GE has 48 host ports versus 24 on N2K-C2224TF-1GE. Both are discontinued. The density difference matters when matching a maintenance spare to the installed equipment.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP adds 25G and 100G uplink capability; N2K-C2248TF-1GE has 10G fabric links. The former is the forward migration target; the latter serves a like-for-like maintenance requirement. Treat the substitution as a refresh decision rather than an interchangeable spare.
