When a refresh starts from an installed Nexus 3132Q, separate replacement compatibility from continued manufacturer support. Original hardware support ended October 31, 2021. Follow the replacement chain through the discontinued intermediate models and specify the current N9K-C9336C-FX2 configuration before releasing the purchase order.
When procurement needs a condition-matched spare, distinguish new sealed equipment from certified refurbished stock rather than treating both as interchangeable order lines. ORM's refurbished managed units are inspected, bench-tested, firmware verified and wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity and destination region on the purchase order.
