N6004-B-24Q is a managed Layer 3 data center chassis bundle supplying 24 native 40 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for Ethernet and FCoE connections. Its interface architecture is modular rather than a bank of fixed chassis ports, making the installed hardware configuration part of the purchase decision. Cisco Nexus 6004EF occupies four rack units and belongs to the Cisco Nexus 6000 Series, with NX-OS providing the operating environment. The non-PoE configuration serves server connections and aggregation rather than powered campus endpoints. Compatible interface cards include N6004-M12Q, N6004X-M20UP and N5696-M4C, providing different physical interface choices within the chassis. The discontinued N6K-C6004EF ships without line-card expansion modules, whereas this bundle supplies the initial Ethernet interfaces. Hardware identity does not establish every advanced software entitlement.
N6004-B-24Q price for new stock is $92,400.00, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $184,800.00. N6004-B-24Q refurb price is $38,615.38. N6004-B-24Q is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

7680 Gbps maximum switching capacity describes the fully expanded chassis, not the installed port inventory. 25 MB of packet buffering is shared by each group of three 40 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, so buffer allocation belongs in congestion planning rather than a DRAM comparison. The forwarding hardware supports 256000 MAC address entries for Layer 2 endpoint learning. N6004-B-24Q uses LACP and vPC for port-channel connectivity and MSTP for spanning-tree control. Base routing includes Static, RIPv2, OSPFv2 and EIGRP Stub; the 256-dynamic-route ceiling is shared across protocols under N6K-BAS1K9. HSRP and VRRP require that license to function even when their CLI configuration is accepted. Native Fibre Channel is not supplied by the bundled Ethernet interfaces.
N6004-B-24Q is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM coverage of up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; 30-day returns apply to every condition, with terms applying. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition, module bay recognition, PSU status and fan status, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition, included hardware and required accessories on the purchase order. Enterprise and volume POs are accepted, with Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock and RMA support across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

When an existing row needs fabric extender consolidation, the Cisco Nexus 6004EF supports 48 fabric extenders in Layer 2 mode but 24 in Layer 3 mode. Those ceilings describe different operating configurations. Identify the intended forwarding mode and fabric extender inventory before specifying the legacy chassis order.
When multiple sites must preserve an approved legacy software baseline, software maintenance for the affected Nexus 6000 hardware ended April 30, 2018. A replacement chassis order therefore needs an explicitly selected image rather than an expectation of continuing fixes. Record the approved release and required entitlements on the PO.
When a staging environment must reproduce traffic monitoring before a maintenance window, the Cisco Nexus 6004EF supports 31 line-rate SPAN and ERSPAN sessions. Monitoring traffic remains best effort and can be dropped first during congestion. Specify the monitoring sessions and traffic load in the acceptance plan before ordering.
Active Cisco service and support
Cisco support for N6004-B-24Q ended April 30, 2022. Its discontinued replacement N5696-B-24Q also reached its last support date, May 31, 2026; no current bundle successor is available.
Native Fibre Channel as shipped
N6004-B-24Q supplies 40 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, not native Fibre Channel ports. Native Fibre Channel needs a different installed interface configuration; FCoE does not change the physical port type.

N6004-B-24Q identifies a Nexus 6004 Extensible Fixed chassis: N6004 identifies the chassis, B identifies the Ethernet/FCoE bundle, and 24Q identifies 24 ports of 40 Gigabit Ethernet. The bundle includes six power supplies and four fan modules. The part number does not select a LAN Enterprise software license.
N6004-B-24Q uses NX-OS CLI through console, SSHv2 or Telnet, plus SNMPv1/v2/v3 and XML NETCONF. Cisco Prime DCNM provides GUI-based management; Cisco Fabric Manager and CiscoWorks LMS are additional management paths. Specify required tool entitlements and access settings before staging the supplied hardware.
Yes, N6004-B-24Q reached end of sale on April 30, 2017, and its last date of Cisco support was April 30, 2022. Cisco service has ended. Software maintenance ended April 30, 2018, so a legacy replacement purchase must not assume continuing maintenance releases or active Cisco support.
ORM Systems offers N6004-B-24Q new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Both conditions include 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco originally supplied a 1-year limited hardware warranty, but Cisco warranty coverage and service ended April 30, 2022.
N6004-B-24Q used individual feature licensing or Cisco ONE Foundation and Advanced perpetual suites. N6K-BAS1K9 covers base routing, N6004-LAN1K9 adds advanced routing, and N6004-EL2-SSK9 enables Cisco FabricPath. These legacy licensing paths require entitlement verification on the supplied hardware; the bundle name alone does not establish every software feature.
Yes, N6004-B-24Q can split each 40 Gigabit Ethernet interface into four line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. QSFP-4SFP10G-CU1M provides a 1 m passive breakout assembly. Confirm the remote interfaces, cable length and breakout configuration before specifying the connection, rather than ordering a standard 40 Gigabit Ethernet interconnect.
Cisco Nexus 6004EF accepts N6004-M12Q for twelve 40 Gigabit Ethernet/FCoE ports, N6004X-M20UP for twenty unified Ethernet or Fibre Channel ports, and N5696-M4C for four 100 Gigabit Ethernet CXP ports. These cards provide different interface types. Specify the exact card PID and compatible connection media for each required chassis slot.
Cisco Nexus 6004EF base licensing permits 256 dynamic routes shared across supported protocols, not 256 routes separately for each protocol. N6K-BAS1K9 supports Static, RIPv2, OSPFv2, OSPFv3 and EIGRP Stub. N6004-LAN1K9 adds advanced routing and requires N6K-BAS1K9 to be installed, so both entitlements matter for an advanced routing configuration.
Yes, N6004-B-24Q includes six power supply modules, and the chassis supports 3+3 grid redundancy. Four fan modules provide 3+1 redundancy. N55-PAC-1100W and N55-PAC-1100W-B provide opposite AC airflow choices. Confirm the supplied power configuration and airflow direction before matching replacement components to an installed chassis.
N6004-B-24Q supplies 24 ports of 40 Gigabit Ethernet, while N6K-C6004EF ships without line-card expansion modules. Both models are discontinued. The populated bundle identifies an interface-equipped legacy spare; the module-free chassis requires a separately verified existing card inventory rather than serving as a current supported refresh.
N5696-B-24Q replaced N6004-B-24Q, but N5696-B-24Q is also discontinued and has no current successor for the bundle. N5696-B-24Q reached end of sale May 5, 2021, and its Cisco support ended May 31, 2026. Do not specify that historical replacement as a current supported chassis.
