N3K-C34180YC provides 48 fixed 10/25G SFP28 access interfaces and six fixed 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks for programmable data center switching. The base NX-OS configuration provides Layer 2 functionality, with additional software entitlements selected separately from the chassis. Cisco Nexus 34180YC connectivity is fiber-based rather than copper endpoint access, so the connection plan needs to identify endpoint speeds, media and the required uplink population. Within the Nexus 3000 family, this model serves fixed top-of-rack deployments rather than a modular chassis purchase. Treat the port map, software entitlement and complete hardware assembly as separate items when defining the purchase specification.
N3K-C34180YC price for new stock is $28,875.00, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $57,750.00. N3K-C34180YC refurb price is $1,311.45. N3K-C34180YC is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

3600 Gbps switching capacity establishes the aggregate throughput envelope for traffic planning. 1400 Mpps forwarding capacity provides a separate packet-rate check rather than another expression of bandwidth. N3K-C34180YC carries 16 GB of system memory and a 20 MB packet buffer, distinguishing control-plane memory from transit packet storage. 350W maximum AC/DC power draw, compared with 190W typical draw, separates peak circuit allocation from expected operating consumption. The Classic L2/L3 profile supports 32000 MAC addresses. Installation approval also needs to account for the 0°C to 40°C operating temperature range rather than considering electrical capacity alone.
Specify N3K-C34180YC as new sealed or certified refurbished, and put the required condition, power-supply assembly and quantities on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status and fan status; firmware is verified and the configuration is wiped to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty; certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, with 30-day returns on either condition, terms apply. ORM Systems accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government, and handles RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US and MEA orders.

Teams validating custom forwarding behavior before production need a staging unit with the intended software and entitlement state. The programmable forwarding pipeline supports selectable profiles rather than a single immutable resource layout. Specify the target profile and representative packet tests before ordering the lab unit.
A spare for an existing deployment must match the installed airflow direction. NXA-FAN-30CFM-F provides port-side exhaust, while NXA-FAN-30CFM-B provides port-side intake. Record the installed airflow direction and verify the ordered assembly against that requirement before the replacement hardware is released onto the purchase order.
Cisco-supported hardware for new deployments
N3K-C34180YC passed its last date of Cisco support on October 31, 2025. N9K-C93180YC-FX3 is the current successor for a supported hardware purchase.
Native 1G fiber endpoint connections
N3K-C34180YC access interfaces support 10G or 25G, not 1G. N9K-C93180YC-FX3 adds native 1/10/25G access connectivity while retaining 48 access ports.
Routing without an additional license
N3K-C34180YC includes Layer 2 functionality by default. OSPF, EIGRP and BGP require an additional routing entitlement rather than the unlicensed base configuration.

N3K-C34180YC identifies a Nexus 34180YC programmable switch with 48 10/25G SFP interfaces and six 40/100G QSFP28 interfaces. The complete model identifier specifies the chassis configuration; software entitlements and airflow assemblies are separate selections. The purchase specification needs those selections rather than treating the chassis identifier as a complete configured assembly.
The Nexus 34180YC is managed through the NX-OS CLI, Cisco NX-API, XML/JSON APIs and Cisco Data Center Network Manager. The management choice belongs in the acceptance specification: identify the operational interface, automation method and credentials to be established during commissioning, separately from the hardware condition selected for purchase.
N3K-C34180YC is past end of sale and end of support: sales ended October 26, 2020, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2025. A replacement purchase must therefore distinguish continued use of an existing hardware estate from a requirement for an active Cisco-supported model.
ORM Systems offers N3K-C34180YC new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty ended with Cisco support on October 31, 2025.
N3K-C34180YC supports legacy LAN Enterprise N3K-LAN1K9 licensing and NX-OS Essentials subscriptions from NX-OS 9.3(1). N3K-ES-XF-3Y provides a three-year term; N3K-ES-XF-5Y provides a five-year term. Legacy feature-based licenses are discontinued. The licensed feature set and subscription term remain separate purchase requirements from the selected hardware condition.
N9K-C93180YC-FX3 adds native 1G access support to the 10/25G access speeds on N3K-C34180YC; both configurations have 48 access ports and six 40/100G uplinks. N3K-C34180YC suits exact-model replacement in an existing estate. N9K-C93180YC-FX3 suits a purchase needing 1G compatibility and a current successor.
NXA-PAC-500W-PE and NXA-PAC-500W-PI are the 500W AC supplies for N3K-C34180YC, providing port-side exhaust and port-side intake respectively. The purchase specification needs the required airflow direction and included supply quantity. The chassis part number should not substitute for an itemized power assembly on the quotation.
Yes, the Nexus 34180YC provides six fixed QSFP28 uplinks supporting 40G or 100G operation. The uplink purchase requirement needs the link speed, media and remote endpoint interface. Transceiver selection belongs in the connection bill of materials rather than being treated as a removable uplink-module option.
NX-OS Essentials subscriptions on N3K-C34180YC have an expiration date, with notification 90 days before the licensing contract expires. The installed entitlement and its remaining term must be distinguished from the hardware's condition. A chassis purchase is not evidence that a term-based software entitlement remains active.
N3K-C34180YC has a maximum draw of 350W and a typical draw of 190W for AC/DC configurations. Use the maximum for electrical circuit allocation and the typical figure when modeling expected operating load. Power-supply output ratings describe the installed modules; they are not the chassis's own consumption figures.
