N9K-C9336C-FX2 Use Case
100G Spine And Aggregation Fabric
N9K-C9336C-FX2 operates as a compact data center spine or aggregation switch where 36 fixed QSFP28 ports carry 40G or 100G links between leaf switches, services blocks, and high-speed network appliances. Engineers map ECMP, vPC, VXLAN EVPN, routing, MACsec, and telemetry policies to the fabric design, then align airflow and PSU choices with rack standards. Optics planning defines reach, breakout, and port-channel layout before cabling begins. The 7.2 Tbps bandwidth and 1U chassis give the network a dense 100G switching layer without expanding rack footprint.
Breakout-Based Leaf Connectivity
N9K-C9336C-FX2 fits access or leaf designs where QSFP28 ports are broken out for 10G or 25G connections while selected ports remain available for 40G or 100G uplinks. Network teams define breakout profiles, optics, cabling, port channels, VLANs, VRFs, and routing before production use. The all-QSFP28 design keeps the physical interface plan consistent across the chassis, while breakout choices support mixed-speed migration. Documentation records which ports remain native and which split into lower-speed lanes. The rack gains flexible server or appliance connectivity anchored to a high-speed Nexus platform.
ACI Or NX-OS Fabric Expansion
This switch expands an existing Cisco data center fabric when teams need additional 100G-capable QSFP28 ports under NX-OS or ACI operations. Operations staff stage software, licenses, management reachability, telemetry, vPC domains, EVPN settings, or ACI policy before inserting the device into the topology. The 24 GB memory, 128 GB SSD, and 40 MB buffer support the platform profile documented for Nexus 9300-FX2. Spare units follow the same airflow and PSU standard as production rows. The deployment adds capacity while preserving common Cisco fabric workflows and spare-pool consistency.
Best For
100G Fabric Refresh
A fabric refresh moving from 40G aggregation to 100G spine links can use the 36 QSFP28 ports as fixed 40/100G interfaces. Breakout is supported on all ports, with 1G QSA use limited to ports 7-32; specify optics, QSAs and cable breakout needs before the PO.
ACI Spine Expansion
An ACI fabric expansion can place the platform into ACI mode while keeping the same 36-port 40/100G physical layout used in NX-OS mode. Confirm the minimum ACI image, airflow direction and whether APIC-facing 40G links need adapter-based 10G conversion before the order is released.
Licensed Routed Fabric
A routed VXLAN fabric that needs BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, PIM or VXLAN BGP EVPN should pair the hardware with the appropriate DCN tier. Base operation covers static routes, SVIs and HSRP; specify Essentials or Advantage licensing, subscription term and Smart Account handling before the PO.
Not Suitable If
Native Fiber Channel ports
N9K-C9336C-FX2 lists FC/FCoE as N/A. Use N9K-C9336C-FX2-E when the same 36 QSFP28 layout must also support 16/32-Gbps Fiber Channel.
25G SFP server downlinks
N9K-C9336C-FX2 has QSFP28 ports rather than fixed 1/10/25G SFP ports. Use N9K-C93240YC-FX2 for 48 1/10/25G SFP ports plus 12 40/100G QSFP28 ports.
10GBASE-T copper access
N9K-C9336C-FX2 has no fixed 10GBASE-T RJ-45 data ports. Use N9K-C93216TC-FX2 for 96 100M/1/10GBASE-T ports plus 12 40/100G QSFP28 ports.

Questions & Answers
What does N9K-C9336C-FX2 mean?
N9K-C9336C-FX2 identifies a Nexus 9K fixed switch with 36 40G/100G QSFP28 ports. N9K identifies Nexus 9K, and C9336C-FX2 identifies the fixed 36-port 40G/100G QSFP28 hardware. Licenses, optics and power choices are handled as separate order selections.
How is N9K-C9336C-FX2 managed?
N9K-C9336C-FX2 is managed as a Cisco Nexus switch in NX-OS mode or ACI mode. The hardware includes one RJ-45 out-of-band management port, one SFP+ management port and one RS-232 console port, with ACI mode managed through the fabric controller architecture.
Is N9300-FX2 end of sale?
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for N9300-FX2. The Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2 product status is available, and no last date of support is listed for the series. Lifecycle planning should still track software-release notices separately from hardware availability.
What condition and warranty does ORM offer for N9K-C9336C-FX2?
N9K-C9336C-FX2 has a 1-year limited hardware warranty from Cisco, while ORM offers new sealed units with up to 3-year extended warranty and certified refurbished units with up to 1 year. ORM returns run 30 days on every condition; terms apply.
Which licenses work with N9K-C9336C-FX2?
N9K-C9336C-FX2 uses DCN tier licensing for advanced NX-OS and ACI features. Essentials and Advantage subscriptions are available for 3-, 5- and 7-year terms; Essentials is subscription-only, while Advantage is also available as nonportable perpetual licensing for DCN or NX-OS.
Which older switches does N9K-C9336C-FX2 replace?
N9K-C9336C-FX2 is named as the replacement for N3K-C3232C and N9K-C9236C product lines. Those migrations move older 100G fixed switches to a 36-port 40/100G QSFP28 Nexus 9300-FX2 platform, so verify optics, airflow and software mode when standardizing.
How many ports does Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2 have?
Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2 has 36 fixed QSFP28 data ports for 40G and 100G Ethernet. Breakout is supported on all ports for 4x10G or 4x25G operation, while 1G with QSA is limited to ports 7 through 32.
Does N9K-C9336C-FX2 support Fiber Channel?
No, N9K-C9336C-FX2 does not support FC/FCoE; FC/FCoE is N/A on this hardware. The related N9K-C9336C-FX2-E keeps the 36-port QSFP28 layout and adds 16/32-Gbps Fiber Channel support for buyers needing storage-facing ports.
Can N9K-C9336C-FX2 use redundant power?
Yes, N9K-C9336C-FX2 supports two internal module positions for 1+1 power redundancy. The platform supports AC, DC and high-voltage AC/DC input choices, but both installed modules must use the same source type and the same airflow direction as the fans.
Can N9K-C9336C-FX2 run ACI mode?
Yes, N9K-C9336C-FX2 can run in ACI mode as well as standard NX-OS mode. The minimum ACI image is ACI-N9KDK9-13.1.2, and the minimum NX-OS image is NXOS-703I7.3, so staging should confirm the target operating mode before imaging.
What is the difference between N9K-C9336C-FX2 and N9K-C9336C-FX2-E?
N9K-C9336C-FX2-E adds 16/32-Gbps Fiber Channel support where N9K-C9336C-FX2 lists FC/FCoE as N/A. Both use a 36-port 40/100G QSFP28 layout, so the standard model suits Ethernet fabric links and the E model suits environments adding Fiber Channel.
What is the difference between N9K-C9336C-FX2 and N9K-C93240YC-FX2?
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 has 48 fixed 1/10/25G SFP ports plus 12 40/100G QSFP28 ports, while N9K-C9336C-FX2 has 36 40/100G QSFP28 ports. Choose the 9336C-FX2 for dense 100G fabric ports and the 93240YC-FX2 for 25G server-facing fiber.
What is the difference between N9K-C9336C-FX2 and N9K-C93216TC-FX2?
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 provides 96 100M/1/10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports plus 12 40/100G QSFP28 ports, while N9K-C9336C-FX2 provides 36 40/100G QSFP28 ports. The 9336C-FX2 fits QSFP28 fabric roles, and the 93216TC-FX2 fits copper 10GBASE-T access.
