N9K-C92300YC is a fiber data center switch with 48 SFP28 downlinks supporting 1G, 10G and 25G connectivity, plus 18 QSFP28 uplinks supporting 40G and 100G. The uplinks are built in rather than supplied by a removable network module. Its base software provides Layer 2+ functionality, while advanced routing requires separate entitlement. The N9200 configuration serves top-of-rack server access through a compact chassis without PoE delivery on the data ports. Connection planning therefore starts with server interface speeds and the required uplink topology, not powered endpoint counts. The discontinued N9K-C92160YC-X offers the closest lower-uplink-density configuration, with four 100G-capable uplinks rather than eighteen.
N9K-C92300YC price for new stock is $10,567.20, a 57.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $25,000.00. N9K-C92300YC refurb price is $2,488.50. N9K-C92300YC is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

6000 Gbps switching capacity provides the bandwidth figure for fabric sizing. More than 4750 Mpps forwarding capacity provides a separate packet-processing measure for traffic profiles dominated by smaller packets. Static routing is available without an additional feature license; OSPF, EIGRP and BGP require licensed software rather than the base hardware alone. N9K-C92300YC carries 16 GB of DRAM, with a separate 128 GB SSD for persistent storage. A 30 MB shared buffer accommodates queued traffic, while the forwarding resources include 92000 MAC entries and a default 6000-route longest-prefix-match allocation. NX-API supports programmatic administration alongside console and remote CLI access. 603W maximum AC input draw establishes the electrical sizing point for rack power planning, rather than the output rating printed on a compatible supply.
New sealed and certified refurbished N9K-C92300YC units are available with separate ORM warranty terms: new hardware has up to a 3-year extended warranty, and certified refurbished hardware has up to 1 year. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, including optics bay recognition; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify the condition and accessories on the PO; 30-day returns apply to every condition, terms apply. Enterprise and volume orders can use PO acceptance, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a hyperscale cloud provider environment, the N9K-C92300YC-Nexus 9200 with 48p 10/25 Gbps leaf ports and 18p 100G QSFP28 uplinks forms the leaf-spine fabric backbone. It delivers non-blocking 25 GbE connectivity to thousands of VMs and 100 GbE aggregation to spine switches, achieving microsecond-level latency, 3:1 oversubscription ratios and seamless scale-out. Benefit: maximized throughput for AI/ML workloads, simplified automation with Cisco NX-OS programmability and predictable east-west performance at cloud scale.
Global enterprises deploy the N9K-C92300YC-Nexus 9200 as a campus core and multi-building distribution switch, using its 48×10/25 Gbps ports for access-layer uplinks and 18×100 Gbps QSFP28 for data-center and inter-campus trunks. This centralized design supports 25 GbE desktops, Wi-Fi 6E APs and IoT segmentation with EVPN-VXLAN, while 100 GbE links provide lossless transport to the campus core. Benefit: future-proof scalability, simplified operations, consistent QoS and up to 60% power-per-port savings over legacy chassis.
A Tier 1 service provider uses the N9K-C92300YC-Nexus 9200 to aggregate 5G RAN and broadband traffic at the network edge. Thirty-two 25 Gbps ports connect to cell-site routers and up to 18 100 Gbps QSFP28 ports trunk backhaul traffic to the regional PoP. Integrated MPLS EVPN and Segment Routing enable network slicing and multi-tenant isolation. Benefit: high-density 100 Gbps backhaul, sub-50 µs port-to-port latency, and carrier-grade redundancy for ultra-low-latency 5G services.
When consolidating server connections onto a replacement chassis, the downlink cages occupy three rows of 16, with one row inverted. Transceiver access belongs in the installation plan alongside the cable schedule. Check pull-tab access and removal clearance before finalizing connectivity accessory quantities on the purchase order.
For batch staging before a data center rollout, power-on autoprovisioning can install software images and configuration files during initial deployment. Prepare the intended image and configuration sequence before committing identical hardware quantities. Specify the staging workflow and confirm the connectivity required to execute that workflow before issuing the PO.
When adding hardware to racks with a fixed hot-aisle orientation, fan direction must match the power supplies. Port-side intake uses NXA-FAN-35CFM-PI, while port-side exhaust uses NXA-FAN-35CFM-PE. Record the airflow direction for every ordered unit and specify matching power components before approving the purchase order.
Native RJ-45 server access connections
N9K-C92300YC has no RJ-45 access ports. N9K-C92348GC-FX3 provides 48 Gigabit copper access ports, but changes access speed and reduces the fixed 100G uplink count to two.
Continuing Cisco service coverage
N9K-C92300YC reached its last date of support on February 28, 2025. N9K-C93240YC-FX2 is the current migration target; confirm its configuration rather than treating the replacement as identical hardware.
Dynamic routing without additional licensing
N9K-C92300YC includes static routing, but OSPF, EIGRP and BGP require additional entitlement. Include the appropriate routing license on the order rather than treating the base chassis as fully licensed.

N9K-C92300YC is the base hardware PID for an N9200 switch with 48 10/25G downlink ports and 18 100G QSFP28 uplinks. The complete model designation identifies this fixed configuration. Software licenses are separate ordering selections, so the hardware PID alone does not specify an advanced-routing entitlement.
N9K-C92300YC supports CLI access through the console, SSH or Telnet, plus programmatic management through NX-API using JSON or XML. Python scripting, Bash shell and Linux containers provide additional automation paths. Specify the intended administration method and management connectivity separately from the server-facing data connections when preparing the order.
N9K-C92300YC is discontinued: Cisco end of sale was February 29, 2020, and the last date of support was February 28, 2025. Cisco service and security support have ended. Existing installations can still require matching replacement hardware, but purchases must not assume continuing Cisco support coverage.
ORM offers N9K-C92300YC new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty and all Cisco service ended on February 28, 2025.
N9K-C92300YC requires separate entitlement for OSPF, EIGRP and BGP. Software selections include legacy Enterprise Services N93-LAN1K9, NX-OS Essentials NX-OS-ES-XF and NX-OS Advantage NX-OS-AD-XF. Enterprise Services is an end-of-sale licensing option. Specify the required software entitlement rather than assuming advanced routing is included with the hardware PID.
The Cisco Nexus 92300YC uses two power supplies in a 1+1 arrangement, with one operating supply and one redundant supply. AC airflow choices are NXA-PAC-650W-PI for port-side intake or NXA-PAC-650W-PE for port-side exhaust. Match both supplies to the fan airflow direction and specify the required power connections on the order.
N9K-C92300YC supports 40G or 100G connectivity through eighteen fixed QSFP28 uplink ports. The uplinks do not require a removable port-expansion module. Select the connectivity accessories for the intended link speed and distance, and confirm compatibility with the intended software release before finalizing the accessory quantities.
N9K-C92300YC provides eighteen 100G-capable uplinks, while N9K-C92160YC-X provides four 100G-capable uplinks among six uplink ports. Both models are discontinued and retain 48 downlink connections. The larger uplink arrangement suits existing designs needing more fabric-facing connections; the smaller arrangement matches existing racks built around fewer uplinks.
N9K-C9236C uses 36 native QSFP28 ports supporting 40G or 100G, whereas N9K-C92300YC separates 48 SFP28 downlinks from eighteen QSFP28 uplinks. Both are discontinued. N9K-C92300YC matches existing 25G server-access layouts; N9K-C9236C matches existing designs centered on native QSFP28 connections rather than a dedicated SFP28 downlink bank.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 is the available migration target for N9K-C92300YC, whose Cisco support ended on February 28, 2025. The replacement is a migration choice rather than an identical spare. Existing hardware standardization can require the older chassis; buyers requiring current Cisco procurement should evaluate the replacement configuration.
