N9K-C93240YC-FX2 is a Cisco Nexus 93240YC-FX2 fixed data center switch for teams that need dense 25G server connectivity with twelve 40/100G fabric uplinks in a compact Nexus 9300-FX2 platform. Cisco lists 48 1/10/25G fiber downlink ports and 12 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports, with a documented ordering description of Nexus 9K Fixed with 48p 1/10G/25G SFP and 12p 40G/100G QSFP28. The chassis supports Cisco NX-OS mode for standard Nexus environments and Cisco ACI mode for policy-based fabric operations. It is a non-PoE optical data center switch, not a campus access model. The platform includes 2 management ports, one RJ-45 and one SFP+, plus one USB port and one RS-232 serial port for administration.
Cisco positions the Nexus 93240YC-FX2 as a 1.2RU switch delivering 4.8 Tbps of bandwidth and over 2.5 Bpps forwarding performance. The 48 downlinks support 1/10/25G, while the 12 uplinks can run as 40G or 100G ports for leaf-to-spine, aggregation, or migration designs. Platform resources include a 4-core CPU, up to 24 GB system memory, 128 GB SSD storage, and 40 MB system buffer. Hardware scale for the Nexus 9300-FX2 series includes 256,000 MAC entries, 896,000 IPv4 host entries, 498,000 IPv6 LPM routes, 4096 VLANs, up to 16,000 VRFs, 64 ECMP paths, 512 port channels, and 32 links per port channel. Cisco also documents MACsec support, VXLAN EVPN, segment routing, vPC, RoCE-related data center bridging functions, model-driven telemetry, RESTCONF, NETCONF, gNMI, and open API operation depending on software release and licensing.
This SKU fits top-of-rack and leaf deployments where 10G servers are moving toward 25G while the fabric requires larger 100G uplink fanout than six-uplink designs provide. Compared with N9K-C9336C-FX2, it keeps server-facing SFP28 density rather than moving to an all-QSFP28 layout. Compared with N9K-C93360YC-FX2, it provides the same 12 uplink count with fewer downlinks and a smaller 1.2RU footprint. This helps teams plan rack-level capacity without overbuying a larger chassis. The switch supports hot-swappable power supplies and fans, up to two 750W AC, 1100W AC, 1100W DC, or 1100W HVAC/HVDC power supplies, 5 fans, and port-side intake or exhaust airflow. Cisco lists 298W typical AC power and 708W maximum AC power, with 0 to 40 deg C operating temperature.

N9K-C93240YC-FX2 operates as a data center leaf switch where 48 1/10/25G fiber ports terminate server, storage, or appliance links and 12 40/100G QSFP28 ports connect toward spine switches. Engineers can run Cisco NX-OS VXLAN EVPN or Cisco ACI policy, then map VRFs, VLANs, vPC domains, port channels, and routing to the fabric design. The 4.8 Tbps bandwidth, 40 MB buffer, and twelve uplinks give racks a strong 25G access layer with enough fabric handoff for dense east-west workloads.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 fits refresh projects where a rack still contains 10G links but the next server generation moves to 25G SFP28. Network teams can preserve familiar Nexus operations while upgrading optics, cabling, uplinks, and policy in stages. The same chassis supports 1/10/25G downlinks and 40/100G uplinks, allowing mixed-speed access during transition. Procurement should confirm optics, airflow, PSUs, licenses, and rails so the delivered bundle supports both current ports, future migration steps, spare planning, and installation timing windows.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 can expand an existing Cisco fabric when more 25G ports and additional 100G uplinks are needed without moving to a larger 96-port chassis. Operations teams choose NX-OS mode for standard Nexus environments or ACI mode for policy-based application fabric control. The platform supports telemetry, API-driven operations, vPC, ECMP, MACsec, and scale profiles subject to software guidance. This makes the SKU useful for adding racks, capacity pods, lab validation blocks, or spare capacity in a controlled data center program.

Good source-backed summary for comparing 93240YC-FX2 with other FX2 switches.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 is a Cisco Nexus 93240YC-FX2 data center switch in the Nexus 9300-FX2 family. It provides 48 fixed 1/10/25G fiber downlink ports, 12 fixed 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports, 4.8 Tbps bandwidth, and over 2.5 Bpps forwarding performance for dense leaf and top-of-rack switching.
The N9K prefix identifies Cisco Nexus 9000 hardware. C93240YC identifies the 93240YC fixed switch model with mixed SFP and QSFP connectivity. FX2 identifies the Nexus 9300-FX2 generation. The full SKU separates this 48-port 25G and 12-port 100G optical switch from copper and all-QSFP FX2 models.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 is a managed fixed-configuration data center switch, not a router, firewall, campus PoE switch, or transceiver. It uses a 1.2RU Nexus chassis with fixed SFP28 and QSFP28 switching ports, hot-swappable power and fan options, Cisco NX-OS or ACI operation, and high-density data center fabric features.
This SKU sits in the Cisco Nexus 9300-FX2 fixed-switch family within the Nexus 9000 Series. It is the 48-port 1/10/25G fiber model with 12 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks. Cisco positions the FX2 family for cloud-scale data center fabrics, growing endpoint counts, VXLAN EVPN, ACI, and NX-OS deployments.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 provides 60 fixed data ports: 48 1/10/25G downlink ports and 12 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports. Cisco also lists 2 management ports, one RJ-45 and one SFP+, plus one USB port and one RS-232 serial port, but those management interfaces are not counted as switching ports.
The Cisco Nexus 93240YC-FX2 data sheet states that the switch supports 4.8 Tbps of bandwidth and over 2.5 Bpps. Those values support dense 25G server-facing access with twelve 40/100G uplinks, making the model useful where a leaf switch needs more fabric uplink capacity than smaller six-uplink designs.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 does not support PoE. It is an optical data center switch with SFP28-style server ports and QSFP28 uplinks, not a powered copper access switch for phones, wireless access points, or cameras. The workbook therefore lists PoE support, PoE port count, and PoE budget as N/A.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 is treated as a Layer 3 data center switch because Cisco documents broad Layer 3 protocol support for the Nexus 9300-FX2 platform, including BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, RIPv2, PIM-SM, SSM, and MSDP. It also supports Layer 2 switching, VXLAN EVPN, vPC, and MACsec capabilities.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 supports Cisco NX-OS mode and Cisco ACI mode. Cisco also documents automation and operations options for the Nexus 9000 platform, including open APIs, RESTCONF, NETCONF, gNMI, Power On Auto Provisioning, model-driven telemetry, Nexus Dashboard integrations, and policy-based fabric management when the correct software and licenses are deployed.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 is not a hardware-stacking switch. Data center designs normally build resilience with vPC, ECMP, VXLAN EVPN, ACI policy, and redundant uplink paths rather than a shared campus-style stack backplane. For this reason, the workbook lists Stackable as No and stacked switching capacity as N/A.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 is used for data center leaf, top-of-rack, high-density server access, aggregation, and fabric expansion roles. It fits racks where 1G, 10G, and 25G server links need to aggregate into 40G or 100G uplinks while still using Cisco NX-OS, ACI, VXLAN EVPN, vPC, and telemetry workflows.
This switch fits enterprise data centers, colocation suites, private cloud fabrics, and growth racks that need 48 server-facing 25G-capable fiber ports and 12 high-speed uplinks. Its 4.8 Tbps bandwidth, 256,000 MAC entries, 16,000 maximum VRFs, and 512 port channels support sizeable segmentation and scale requirements when release guidance allows.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 suits virtualized compute clusters, 10G-to-25G server access, storage-facing Ethernet, leaf-and-spine fabrics, VXLAN EVPN, Cisco ACI leaf deployments, RoCE-aware data center networks, and traffic monitoring designs. The 40 MB buffer, telemetry support, 100G uplinks, and MACsec capability help align it with demanding east-west traffic patterns.
Cisco lists a maximum of 16 Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders per switch for the Nexus 9300-FX2 series. Final FEX scale, platform mode, and feature support should be checked against the relevant Cisco Nexus 9000 verified scalability guide and the software release notes chosen for the deployment.
Optics and cables should match the 48 1/10/25G downlink ports, the 12 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks, the planned reach, and the minimum software release for each module. Cisco points buyers to its transceiver module support tables, so quotes should specify SFP, SFP28, QSFP28, DAC, AOC, and breakout requirements.
Cisco lists up to 2 power supplies for Nexus 9300-FX2 switches, with 750W AC, 1100W AC, 1100W DC, and 1100W HVAC/HVDC options for N9K-C93240YC-FX2. The data sheet lists 5 fans and port-side intake or exhaust airflow. Buyers should match PSU and fan airflow to the rack cooling plan.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 integrates with Cisco NX-OS, Cisco ACI, Nexus Dashboard operations, VXLAN EVPN, vPC, BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, RIPv2, PIM-SM, SSM, MSDP, MACsec, segment routing, RESTCONF, NETCONF, gNMI, model-driven telemetry, Power On Auto Provisioning, Cisco Nexus Data Broker, and data center bridging features when licensing and release support apply.
Cisco states that Nexus 9000 default system software includes a Layer 2 security and management feature set. Additional licenses enable capabilities such as Layer 3 IP unicast, IP multicast routing, and Cisco Nexus Data Broker. Buyers should map license selection to planned NX-OS, ACI, Nexus Dashboard, routing, multicast, and telemetry requirements.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 provides 48 1/10/25G downlinks and 12 40/100G uplinks with 4.8 Tbps bandwidth. N9K-C9336C-FX2 provides 36 40/100G QSFP28 ports with 7.2 Tbps bandwidth. The 93240YC-FX2 is stronger for mixed 25G server access, while the 9336C-FX2 focuses on dense 100G QSFP connectivity.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 is a mixed 25G and 100G Ethernet switch with 48 downlinks and 12 uplinks. N9K-C9336C-FX2-E is an all-QSFP28 model with 36 40/100G ports and documented 16/32G Fibre Channel support. Choose the 93240YC-FX2 for server-facing SFP28 density and the 9336C-FX2-E for all-QSFP or FC-capable designs.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 provides 48 1/10/25G ports and 12 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks in a 1.2RU chassis with 4.8 Tbps bandwidth. N9K-C93360YC-FX2 doubles the 25G downlink count to 96 ports, keeps 12 40/100G uplinks, and uses a larger 2RU chassis with 7.2 Tbps bandwidth.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 uses 48 fiber 1/10/25G downlinks plus 12 40/100G uplinks. N9K-C93216TC-FX2 uses 96 100M/1/10GBASE-T copper downlinks plus 12 40/100G uplinks and supports 4.32 Tbps bandwidth. The choice is mainly 25G optical server access versus higher-count 10G copper access.
