Replacement PID | N9K-C93108TC-FX3P |
A purchase covering multiple equipment positions needs an explicit unit of sale because this PID identifies a 10-pack bundle. Match the requested chassis quantity to the quotation, receiving schedule, asset records, and invoice. Specify whether the purchase order covers the complete bundle or individually quoted units.
An existing estate needing replacement inventory must distinguish equipment availability from continued manufacturer support. February 28, 2027 is the last date of Cisco support for this bundle. Record the intended retention period, existing service entitlement, acceptance requirements, and replacement schedule before approving the purchase order.
100G connections to upstream switches
The fixed uplinks stop at 40G. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is the replacement with six 40/100G uplinks; specify the required link speed when selecting connectivity.
Ongoing manufacturer security maintenance
Security support ended February 24, 2025. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is the named replacement; hardware support remaining on the older bundle does not extend security maintenance.
