N9K-C93128TX-FA-L3 combines 96 copper downlinks with Layer 3 switching in a 3RU data center chassis. Each RJ-45 access port supports 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps, accommodating mixed-speed server connections within the fixed port bank. Fiber uplinks use a removable module rather than built-in optical ports. The Enhanced L3 configuration runs NX-OS and belongs to the Cisco Nexus 9300 line for top-of-rack, middle-of-row and end-of-row server access. FA identifies hot air exhaust; the discontinued N9K-C93128TX-BA-L3 uses cold air intake instead. The Cisco Nexus 93128TX provides data connectivity rather than PoE, so connected equipment requires a separate power source.

2560 Gbps switching capacity provides internal bandwidth for server-access and aggregation traffic. Over 750 Mpps forwarding performance defines packet-processing capacity independently of interface bandwidth. OSPF, EIGRP and BGP support dynamic routing under the Enhanced L3 entitlement. N9K-C93128TX-FA-L3 has 16 GB of memory and 64 GB of SSD storage for its NX-OS control plane. 853W maximum power draw establishes the upper input load for circuit planning, distinct from a power supply's output rating. Administrative access uses a local console or remote SSH and Telnet sessions. The iAPI interface also accepts JSON or XML remote procedure calls over HTTP/HTTPS for programmatic management.
ORM Systems offers N9K-C93128TX-FA-L3 new sealed or certified refurbished, with an up to 3-year extended warranty for new hardware, up to 1 year for certified refurbished hardware, and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition and PSU status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify the required condition and unit quantities before issuing the purchase order. For enterprise and volume purchasing, PO orders are accepted, Net-30 is available for government, and RMA includes advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

When expanding a routed server fabric with separate forwarding domains, the Cisco Nexus 9300 supports 1000 VRF instances and 64 ECMP paths. These limits address segmentation and parallel routing rather than endpoint density. Match the intended VRF inventory and path count to the selected software release before specifying the order.
When preparing spare hardware on a staging bench, the Cisco Nexus 93128TX limits USB support to USB 2.0 devices drawing less than 2.5W and less than 0.5A, including surge current. External storage exceeding those limits is unsupported. Check the staging device's power requirement before finalizing the accessory order.
Current Cisco hardware support
Cisco service ended October 31, 2022. Requirements for a current migration model point to N9K-C93216TC-FX2, which retains 96 copper access ports in a different chassis.
Native 2.5G or 5G copper links
RJ-45 server ports operate at 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps. Native 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps access rates are not supported by this hardware.
Twelve active 40G QSFP+ uplinks
N9K-M12PQ enables eight active uplinks in this chassis, not twelve. N9K-C93216TC-FX2 provides twelve fixed 40/100G QSFP28 ports and changes the uplink architecture.

N9K-C93128TX-FA-L3 identifies a Nexus 9000 family switch using the Nexus 93128TX hardware, hot air exhaust and Enhanced L3 licensing. N9K identifies the family, C93128TX identifies the 96-port copper model, FA identifies hot air exhaust, and L3 identifies the Enhanced L3 configuration rather than an additional interface module.
Cisco Nexus 9300 supports local console CLI access, remote CLI sessions over SSH or Telnet, and iAPI management using JSON or XML over HTTP/HTTPS. ACI operation provides a separate policy-based management approach. The operating mode, software image and license entitlement determine which management environment is used.
Yes, N9K-C93128TX-FA-L3 is discontinued, with end of sale on October 30, 2017 and Cisco support ending October 31, 2022. Software maintenance ended October 30, 2018, and vulnerability support ended October 29, 2020. A new sealed unit does not restart these Cisco lifecycle milestones or restore manufacturer service eligibility.
New sealed and certified refurbished N9K-C93128TX-FA-L3 units carry ORM coverage: up to a 3-year extended warranty for new hardware and up to 1 year for certified refurbished hardware. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty no longer provides coverage; Cisco service ended October 31, 2022.
N9K-C93128TX-FA-L3 is the legacy Enhanced L3 configuration associated with N93-LAN1K9. Later licensing paths include perpetual NX-OS Advantage or DCN Advantage, and DCN Essentials, Advantage or Premier subscriptions with a 3-year minimum. Perpetual entitlements are nontransferable; the selected software release and entitlement determine which path is usable.
N9K-C93128TX-FA-L3 supports six 40G uplinks with N9K-M6PQ-E, eight 40G uplinks with N9K-M12PQ, or two 100G uplinks with N9K-M4PC-CFP2. N9K-M6PQ also provides six 40G uplinks. N9K-M12PQ physically provides twelve cages, but only eight are active in this chassis; uplinks are supplied through the removable module.
Yes, N9K-C93128TX-FA-L3 supports two matching power supplies for 1+1 redundancy. N9K-PUV-1200W supports HVAC/HVDC input, while UCS-PSU-6332-DC provides port-side-exhaust DC power. The installed supplies must be the same type, and power-supply airflow must match cooling airflow. DC and HVAC/HVDC supplies cannot be mixed within the chassis.
OSPF, EIGRP and BGP are supported by the Enhanced L3 configuration of N9K-C93128TX-FA-L3. N93-LAN1K9 provides the legacy Enhanced L3 entitlement. The operating system is NX-OS, and routing availability remains tied to the installed license and software release rather than the number of physical ports.
The Cisco Nexus 93128TX requires 3RU and measures 133 mm high, 445 mm wide and 571 mm deep. The chassis has mounting positions for two-post and four-post racks. Cabinet depth, mounting position and airflow orientation need to accommodate the complete hardware configuration rather than the chassis height alone.
N9K-C93128TX-FA-L3 uses hot air exhaust, whereas N9K-C93128TX-BA-L3 uses cold air intake. Both identify Enhanced L3 configurations of the same Nexus 93128TX hardware, and both are discontinued. The distinction matters when matching replacement inventory to an existing airflow arrangement; the two ordering names should not be treated as interchangeable.
N9K-C93128TX-FA-L3 has 96 copper server-access ports, whereas N9K-C9396TX has 48 copper server-access ports. Both use modular uplink architectures and are discontinued. The former addresses a larger existing copper connection inventory; the latter corresponds to lower-density legacy installations where matching the installed hardware is the purchase requirement.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 provides twelve fixed 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks, whereas N9K-C93128TX-FA-L3 uses a removable uplink module with chassis-specific active-port limits. N9K-C93216TC-FX2 is the current endpoint after the discontinued N9K-C93120TX migration step. The current model addresses a hardware refresh; the discontinued model remains relevant to matching an existing installation.
