N2K-C2248TP-1GE is a parent-dependent Layer 2 fabric extender with 48 100/1000BASE-T host ports and four fixed 10G SFP+ fabric uplinks. The non-PoE Nexus 2248TP belongs to the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series and extends server connectivity under a parent Nexus switch rather than operating as an independently managed switch. Its 1U rack-mount chassis serves copper-equipped servers and Gigabit server-management interfaces within a distributed switching system. All host traffic travels upstream, including traffic between devices attached to the same extender. The discontinued N2K-C2224TP-1GE is the lower-density sibling with 24 host ports. Treat this unit as a remote line card when defining its role, with switching policies enforced by the parent rather than a standalone local control plane.
N2K-C2248TP-1GE price for new stock is $241.49, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $482.98. N2K-C2248TP-1GE refurb price is $24.66. N2K-C2248TP-1GE is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps hardware forwarding capacity and 131 Mpps forwarding performance define the extender's packet-processing capability, rather than the bandwidth of an individual fabric link. 110W maximum input draw sets the equipment power allowance, distinct from the 400W output rating of each supplied N2200-PAC-400W. Two N2200-PAC-400W modules provide 1:1 power redundancy, while N2K-C2248-FAN provides standard port-side-exhaust cooling. N2K-C2248TP-1GE supports jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes, allowing larger Ethernet payloads where the connected system uses matching settings. Eight hardware queues per port, local policing with 64 policers, and configurable tail-drop thresholds provide traffic-control resources. Local multicast replication supports 8000 entries, and local classification supports 256 ACL entries. Administration uses the parent switch through CLI, Cisco DCNM, SNMP v1/v2/v3, and XML interfaces. The fabric extender has no independent routing control plane; feature availability follows the parent-switch configuration and software.
ORM Systems offers N2K-C2248TP-1GE new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed port links, optics bay recognition, PSU status and fan status; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition and quantity on the purchase order; 30-day returns apply to every condition, terms apply, while Cisco service and warranty ended November 30, 2021. Enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US and MEA regional stock and RMA locations.

When a replacement is staged for an existing Nexus 7000 environment, the fabric extender requires Cisco NX-OS Release 5.1 or later on that parent. Hardware identity alone does not settle the installation plan. Record the deployed parent software release and require a supported association test before authorizing the purchase order.
When repeated rack designs depend on dual-parent fabric-extender attachment, parent selection determines the topology. Nexus 9000 supports the server vPC scenario, while Nexus 5000 and Nexus 6000 support all four fabric-extender connection designs. Specify the parent family and required redundancy topology before standardizing the bill of materials.
Standalone operation without a parent
N2K-C2248TP-1GE functions as a remote line card and sends host traffic to a parent Nexus switch. N9K-C9348GC-FXP is the current switch successor at the end of its replacement chain.
25G or 100G uplink connectivity
N2K-C2248TP-1GE has fixed 10G fabric interfaces without a faster uplink module option. N9K-C9348GC-FXP provides four 10/25G interfaces and two 40/100G QSFP28 interfaces while retaining 48 copper host ports.

N2K-C2248TP-1GE identifies a Nexus 2248TP Gigabit fabric extender: N2K is the family prefix, C2248TP is the model segment, and 1GE is the Gigabit Ethernet designation. The complete package has 48 copper host ports, four 10G fabric interfaces, two AC N2200-PAC-400W supplies, and standard port-side-exhaust N2K-C2248-FAN cooling.
N2K-C2248TP-1GE is managed in-band through its parent Nexus switch using CLI, Cisco DCNM, SNMP v1/v2/v3, and XML interfaces; CiscoWorks and RMON support are also available. Configuration resides on the parent and is downloaded to the extender. Administration therefore follows the parent switch rather than an independent fabric-extender management session.
N2K-C2248TP-1GE reached end of sale on November 2, 2016, and Cisco support ended November 30, 2021. Its original replacement, N2K-C2248TP-E, is also discontinued, with an August 24, 2022 end-of-sale date. The replacement chain ends at N9K-C9348GC-FXP; purchasing remaining stock does not restart Cisco support.
New sealed and certified refurbished N2K-C2248TP-1GE units carry ORM warranties: up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Both conditions include 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty and Cisco service ended November 30, 2021.
N2K-C2248TP-1GE requires no separate fabric-extender license or subscription; no extender license tiers or minimum terms apply. Its software image comes from the parent Nexus switch. This also applies to an ORM certified refurbished order. N2K-C2248TP-1GE-RF identifies Cisco-remanufactured hardware, not ORM certification, and parent-switch licensing remains separate.
No, the Nexus 2248TP cannot operate as a standalone switch; a compatible parent Nexus switch supplies its configuration and software. The extender behaves as a remote line card and forwards host traffic upstream. An isolated switching location therefore requires a standalone switch rather than an independently installed fabric extender.
N2K-C2248TP-1GE uses separately ordered fabric-link media such as FET-10G, SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-LR, or SFP-H10GB-CU3M. The TP package requires fabric-link media rather than including a fabric-transceiver bundle. Match media at the parent and extender ends, and confirm reach and connector compatibility before completing the optical or copper-cable purchase-order line items.
Yes, the Nexus 2248TP package N2K-C2248TP-1GE includes two N2200-PAC-400W AC supplies for 1:1 redundancy and accepts 90-264V AC input. Standard cooling uses N2K-C2248-FAN with port-side exhaust. The 400W rating belongs to each supply, not equipment consumption; use the 110W maximum input draw when allocating facility power.
N2K-C2248TP-1GE has 48 copper host ports, while N2K-C2224TP-1GE has 24. Both are Gigabit fabric extenders and both are discontinued. The 48-port unit suits maintaining an existing higher-density installation; the 24-port unit suits matching a lower-density installed rack. Neither port-density choice removes the requirement for a compatible parent switch.
N2K-C2248TP-1GE fixes the package at two AC N2200-PAC-400W supplies with standard airflow, while N2K-C2248TP allows a power-supply and airflow choice. Both identifiers refer to the same discontinued extender hardware. The fixed package suits an existing AC configuration; the configurable identifier suits matching a previously specified power and airflow combination.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP provides 10/25G and 40/100G interfaces, while N2K-C2248TP-1GE uses 10G fabric links. The fabric extender is discontinued, and N9K-C9348GC-FXP is the current successor at the end of the replacement chain. Existing fabric-extender sparing retains the older configuration; new purchases requiring faster uplink connectivity suit the Nexus 9300 successor.
