N9K-C93180-EX-B24C is a two-switch data center bundle containing Nexus 93180YC-EX switches and eight 100G optics, not a single 24-port switch. Each chassis provides 48 downlinks supporting 1G, 10G or 25G connectivity and six fixed 40G/100G QSFP28 uplinks. Base NX-OS operation provides Layer 2+ functionality without a separately selected advanced-routing entitlement. The Nexus 9300-EX uses a rack-mount 1U chassis for server connectivity rather than powered endpoint access. The discontinued N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 enables 24 downlinks per chassis instead of the full downlink complement supplied here. Fixed uplinks eliminate an uplink-card purchasing dependency; the remaining connection choices concern compatible optics, cabling and the interfaces used at the other end.

3600 Gbps switching capacity per chassis supports the switch's server-facing and aggregation-facing interfaces, while forwarding performance exceeds 2600 Mpps. 470W maximum input draw per switch is the figure for circuit planning rather than the installed supply's output rating. N9K-C93180-EX-B24C combines switches with 24 GB of system memory, 64 GB SSD storage and a 40 MB system buffer for control-plane operation, local storage and packet queuing. Static routes, SVIs and HSRP operate without an additional feature license; BGP, OSPF and EIGRP require the appropriate routing entitlement. Nexus 9000 automation includes JSON-RPC over HTTP or HTTPS and RESTCONF/NETCONF, allowing configuration workflows beyond interactive CLI sessions. The out-of-band connection uses either the RJ-45 management interface or the SFP management interface, not both simultaneously. Native RJ-45 server downlinks and PoE output are absent, so the copper management connector must not be mistaken for an access port.
N9K-C93180-EX-B24C is offered by ORM Systems in new sealed and certified refurbished condition; specify the required condition and complete bundle contents on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, optics bay recognition, clean boot, PSU status and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. ORM warranty is up to a 3-year extended term for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco's separate 1-year limited hardware warranty is bounded by its August 31, 2027 support end date. For enterprise and volume orders, POs are accepted, government buyers have Net-30, and RMA with advance replacement is available across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

When an IP fabric expansion needs multiple equal-cost paths, the series supports 64-way ECMP for a Layer 3 fat-tree design. Map the proposed topology to the intended software release and routing entitlements rather than treating hardware capacity as feature authorization. Specify the required software rights before the purchase order.
When switches enter a staging lab before installation, the USB connection can support local copying workflows but accepts only USB 2.0 devices drawing less than 2.5W. External storage with excessive startup current is unsuitable. Check the staging device's electrical requirements and specify compatible media before the purchase order.
Cisco support beyond August 2027
Cisco support for the EX bundle ends August 31, 2027. N9K-C93180YC-FX3 is the current single-switch replacement; specify the quantity needed to replace the original pair.
Native copper server access ports
The bundle has fiber downlinks rather than native RJ-45 server ports. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P provides 48 copper downlinks and six 100G uplinks as a single-switch alternative.

N9K-C93180-EX-B24C identifies a Nexus 9000 two-switch bundle, not a 24-port chassis. N9K names the family, C93180-EX points to the included Nexus 93180YC-EX switches, and B24C identifies the package with eight 100G optics. Each included chassis has 48 downlink ports.
N9K-C93180-EX-B24C supports NX-OS CLI management through console and out-of-band connections, programmable APIs, DCNM management, or ACI mode. NX-OS automation includes JSON-RPC over HTTP or HTTPS and RESTCONF/NETCONF. Use either the RJ-45 or SFP management port, not both simultaneously, after completing initial console configuration.
N9K-C93180-EX-B24C reached end of sale on August 9, 2022, and its last date of Cisco support is August 31, 2027. The replacement is N9K-C93180YC-FX3, a single-switch product. Replacement planning must therefore address the original bundle's switch quantity rather than substituting one replacement unit automatically.
ORM Systems offers N9K-C93180-EX-B24C new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days in either condition; terms apply. Cisco's separate 1-year limited hardware warranty cannot extend beyond August 31, 2027, when Cisco service ends.
N9K-C93180-EX-B24C supports DCN Essentials, Advantage and Premier subscriptions with three-year minimums, plus DCN Advantage or NX-OS Advantage perpetual licensing. Essentials perpetual licenses are no longer sold. Legacy N93-LAN1K9 feature licensing is separate. Specify entitlements for both chassis and the destination Smart Account; hardware condition does not supply those rights.
N9K-C93180-EX-B24C packages eight 100G optics with two switches, each carrying six fixed 40G/100G QSFP28 uplink ports. The uplinks do not require a removable network card. Specify the required optical interface and confirm the individual optic part numbers and quantities on the quotation before issuing the purchase order.
The Nexus 9300-EX uses virtual Port-Channel for Layer 2 multipathing rather than hardware stacking. A paired configuration does not turn the bundle into one physical chassis. Specify the inter-switch connectivity and management connections for both switches instead of ordering a stacking kit for the pair.
The Nexus 9300-EX uses two supply modules per chassis, one for operation and one for redundancy. AC options include NXA-PAC-650W-PI and NXA-PAC-650W-PE. Both supplies must use the same input type, and their airflow must match NXA-FAN-30CFM-B or NXA-FAN-30CFM-F respectively. Confirm the complete airflow configuration on the order.
N9K-C93180-EX-B24C supports static routes, SVIs and HSRP without an additional feature license in NX-OS mode. Dynamic routing features such as OSPF, BGP and EIGRP require the appropriate entitlement. Treat the hardware's forwarding resources and the software's authorized routing features as separate checks when specifying the order.
N9K-C93180YC-ZZ-PE includes a Layer 3 license with one EX switch, whereas N9K-C93180-EX-B24C is a two-switch optics bundle. Both are discontinued. The former identifies licensed legacy single-switch installations; the bundle addresses paired EX requirements, with software entitlements specified independently for the order.
N9K-C93180-EX-B24C supplies two EX switches and eight 100G optics, whereas N9K-C93180YC-FX3 is a single-switch successor that remains available for new orders. The discontinued EX bundle addresses existing paired EX requirements; specify switch quantity and optics separately when replacing the original pair with current FX3 hardware.
N9K-C93180-EX-B24C provides 48 downlinks per chassis, whereas N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 enables 24. The 24-port model is discontinued and its replacement, N9K-C93180YC-FX3, has 48 downlinks. The bundle suits paired full-density EX requirements; the older 24-port identifier matters when matching an existing reduced-port installation.
