N9K-C93180YC-FX3 is a Cisco Nexus 9300-FX3 managed data center switch for leaf, aggregation, and high-speed server access designs that need dense SFP28 downlinks with 100G fabric uplinks. The fixed interface set provides 48 1/10/25G SFP28 ports and 6 40/100G QSFP28 ports in a 1RU chassis, with one RJ-45 management port, one USB port, RS-232 serial, and timing interfaces for 1PPS, 10MHz, ToD, and GNSS antenna use. It supports Cisco NX-OS and Cisco ACI operating models, with minimum documented releases of NX-OS 9.3(5) and ACI 14.2(4i) for this platform. Layer 3 routing features are enabled through Cisco N9000 software licensing. PoE is not part of this optical data center switching platform. Compared with N9K-C93108TC-FX3, this SKU uses 48 SFP28 fiber downlinks instead of 48 100M/1/10G BASE-T copper ports while retaining 6 QSFP28 uplinks.
3.6 Tbps switching capacity supports dense 25G leaf access and 100G spine connectivity in compact data center racks. 1.2 Bpps forwarding rate aligns packet handling with high-throughput server, storage, and fabric workloads. 40 MB system buffer, 16 GB system memory, 128 GB SSD storage, and a 4-core CPU define the control and platform resources. N9K-C93180YC-FX3 supports 512,000 MAC address entries, 1,792,000 IPv4 host entries, 896,000 IPv6 LPM routes, 4096 VLANs, 16,000 VRFs, 128-way ECMP, 512 port channels, and 32 links per port channel. Cisco NX-OS fabric designs include BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, RIPv2, PIM-SM, SSM, MSDP, VXLAN EVPN, MACsec, vPC, model-driven telemetry, RESTCONF, NETCONF, gNMI, POAP, and Nexus Dashboard integrations. Hot-swappable power supplies and fans support N+1 component redundancy with port-side intake or exhaust airflow choices.
This switch fits the data center access or leaf layer where 25G SFP28 server links aggregate into 40/100G QSFP28 fabric uplinks. It also suits FEX-connected designs because Cisco lists up to 16 Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders on this model, subject to release-specific scalability guidance. Hardware stacking is not used; multi-switch resilience is normally designed with vPC, ECMP, fabric policy, and controller-based operations. The 1RU form factor preserves rack density, while AC, DC, and high-voltage power options support different facility standards. ORM Systems supplies N9K-C93180YC-FX3 in new and certified refurbished condition for data center refreshes, spares, and fabric expansion projects. Refurbished validation focuses on SFP28 link negotiation, QSFP28 port recognition, fan direction, power-supply status, NX-OS boot, management access, and physical condition.

N9K-C93180YC-FX3 operates as a data center leaf switch where 48 1/10/25G SFP28 ports terminate server or storage-facing links and 6 40/100G QSFP28 ports connect toward spine switches. Engineers run Cisco NX-OS VXLAN EVPN or ACI policies, define vPC and ECMP behavior, and validate MACsec, routing, and telemetry requirements before production. Power-supply and fan airflow choices align the chassis with rack cooling standards. The rack gains a high-density optical leaf layer with predictable 25G access, 100G fabric handoff, and controller-aligned operations.
N9K-C93180YC-FX3 fits server access rows where virtualized compute, storage nodes, and appliance clusters use 10G or 25G SFP28 connectivity. The 3.6 Tbps switching capacity and 1.2 Bpps forwarding rate keep packet handling aligned with dense east-west traffic, while 40 MB buffering supports bursty flows. Network teams map VLANs, VRFs, port channels, and uplink policy to the application fabric, then confirm optics and breakout choices. The access layer gains consistent optical server connectivity, scalable segmentation, and clearer operational ownership.
N9K-C93180YC-FX3 supports fabric extension designs where Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders attach to a parent Nexus 9300-FX3 switch. Cisco lists support for up to 16 FEX units on this model, with final scale checked against release guidance. Engineers align optics, uplinks, port profiles, software versions, and FEX placement before rollout. Operations teams monitor parent switch health, fan direction, and uplink status through Nexus tooling. The deployment extends access port reach while keeping switching policy anchored to the parent fabric.
