N9K-C9364C-GX Overview

N9K-C9364C-GX is a managed Layer 3 data center switch built for dense 100 Gigabit Ethernet fabric roles, with 64 fixed 40/100G QSFP28 ports and no modular uplink bay. The platform is Non-PoE, uses a 2RU rack-mount chassis, and belongs to the Cisco Nexus 9300-GX Series. That combination separates it from campus access switches, which normally focus on RJ-45 edge ports and PoE budgets. All front-panel switching interfaces are built into the chassis, so buyers plan optics, DACs, and breakout behaviour at design time rather than selecting separate uplink modules. The series supports NX-OS and ACI operating models for teams standardising policy-driven or CLI-managed data center fabrics. A close sibling, N9K-C93600CD-GX, differs by offering 28 40/100G QSFP28 ports plus 8 100/400G QSFP-DD ports in 1RU, while this model prioritises 64-port 100G density for spine and leaf designs.

12.8 Tbps switching capacity delivers high aggregate bandwidth across dense leaf-to-spine or aggregation fabrics. Over 4.3 bpps forwarding rate supports line-rate movement for routed data center traffic, while 64-way ECMP helps distribute flows across Layer 3 fat-tree designs. Non-PoE operation keeps the power design focused on optical Ethernet switching rather than endpoint power delivery. BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, RIPv2, PIM-SM, SSM, and MSDP support routed unicast and multicast designs when enabled by the selected NX-OS or ACI software. VXLAN EVPN and hierarchical multisite support place the platform in modern overlay fabrics without changing the fixed-port hardware model. N9K-C9364C-GX carries up to 32 GB system memory, a 128 GB SSD, and an 80 MB system buffer. Management access includes RJ-45 and SFP management ports, RS-232 console, USB, RESTCONF, NETCONF, gNMI, OpenConfig, telemetry, and Nexus Dashboard integration for fabric operations. Two 2000W power supply positions provide 1+1 redundancy, and the fan design provides 3+1 redundancy with port-side intake or exhaust airflow.

N9K-C9364C-GX operates at the data center leaf, spine, or aggregation tier, connecting QSFP28 optics, DACs, server fabrics, storage networks, and upstream Nexus switches within 2U of rack space. Cisco Nexus designs use vPC, ECMP, and ACI or NX-OS fabric control instead of physical switch stacking, so this switch is not stackable. ORM Systems supplies this switch new and certified refurbished, with refurbished units checked for boot status, port recognition, management access, fan health, power supply status, and airflow match before dispatch. Request pricing for single-unit refreshes, multi-switch fabric builds, optics bundles, or spare inventory; enterprise and volume buyers receive quotation support across condition, lead time, warranty, and deployment bill of materials. For larger rollouts, ORM Systems aligns switch condition, compatible optics, airflow direction, power supply type, and warranty cover with the planned deployment schedule. Bulk quotations also group matching spares, compatible optics, and accessory kits so repeat purchases stay aligned across multiple racks.

N9K-C9364C-GX Use Case

Spine Fabric Aggregation

N9K-C9364C-GX sits in the spine layer and terminates high-speed uplinks from multiple leaf switches on 64 fixed 40/100G QSFP28 ports. Engineers place equal-cost routed links toward each leaf, run BGP EVPN or ACI fabric control according to the chosen operating model, and use the 12.8 Tbps bandwidth profile to keep east-west traffic distributed across the fabric. The 2RU fixed chassis concentrates 100G fabric capacity without modular line cards during growth phases. The network gains predictable spine capacity and cleaner leaf-to-spine scale planning.

Server Access Leaf Handoff

The switch occupies the leaf layer and connects server, storage, or accelerator racks through 40G and 100G QSFP28 interfaces. N9K-C9364C-GX groups ports by Cisco's four-port speed quads, so engineers align server-facing optics and link speeds before building vPC pairs, routed host links, or ACI leaf profiles. NX-OS and ACI operation place policy, VLAN, VRF, and endpoint learning close to the rack during maintenance windows. The result is dense 100G server access with consistent fabric attachment across repeated rack builds.

Fabric Operations Control Point

N9K-C9364C-GX anchors a managed Nexus fabric where operations teams rely on Nexus Dashboard services, model-driven telemetry, and programmable NX-OS interfaces for configuration and monitoring. The switch presents RJ-45 and SFP management ports, a console port, and one USB port for local access, while RESTCONF, NETCONF, gNMI, OpenConfig, and Ansible workflows support automated change control and troubleshooting routines. Engineers monitor interface health, congestion signals, and fabric state from a common toolchain. The network gains repeatable operations across high-density 100G switching blocks.
