N9K-C9364C is a fixed data center spine switch with 64 native 40/100G QSFP28 interfaces and two 1/10G SFP+ interfaces in a 2U rack-mount chassis. The Cisco Nexus 9364C belongs to the Nexus 9300 family and supports NX-OS operation or an ACI spine role. Its base NX-OS configuration provides Layer 2+ switching with static routing rather than an included advanced routing entitlement. All network interfaces are built in, so the chassis does not require a removable uplink card; fiber connectivity depends on compatible pluggable optics. The discontinued N9K-C9332C provides 32 40/100G interfaces for a lower-density spine configuration. This 64-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet switch serves inter-switch fabric connectivity, not copper endpoint connections or powered access devices.
N9K-C9364C price for new stock is $3,885.00, a 95.6% saving from the Cisco list price of $88,410.00. N9K-C9364C refurb price is $1,837.50. N9K-C9364C is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

12840 Gbps switching capacity establishes the aggregate bandwidth available across the fixed interfaces. 4300 Mpps forwarding provides the packet-rate figure for traffic sizing alongside link-speed totals. Cisco Cloud Scale forwarding silicon supplies the switching architecture, while a 40 MB packet buffer holds queued traffic. N9K-C9364C carries 32 GB of system memory and a 128 GB SSD for its operating environment. Addressing capacity reaches 92000 MAC entries, and routing contexts can span 1000 VRF instances. IPv4 route allocation depends on the selected memory profile: the default LPM allocation supports 7000 routes, while the LPM-heavy maximum reaches 262000 routes. Dedicated copper and fiber management connections provide access separate from the fabric interfaces, with an RS-232 console available locally. HSRP is available without an additional license for gateway redundancy. MACsec capability is restricted to the last 16 QSFP28 interfaces and requires the appropriate security entitlement and software support.
Choose new sealed or certified refurbished N9K-C9364C and specify the required condition on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. ORM provides up to three-year extended coverage on new units, up to one year on certified refurbished units and 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; any applicable Cisco one-year limited hardware warranty is bounded by January 31, 2029. POs are accepted, government buyers receive Net-30 terms, and enterprise or volume purchasing is supported through regional stock and RMA in the UK, EU, US and MEA, with advance replacement.

In a global financial services firm, the N9K-C9364C-Nexus 9364C ACI Spine switch with 64p 40/100G QSFP28 consolidates east-west traffic between trading engines and market data feeds. By leveraging its wire-speed switching and sub-microsecond latency, the switch ensures deterministic order execution and real-time risk analysis across multiple data centers. Outcome: 40% reduction in trade-execution latency, 99.999% network availability, and simplified ACI-driven policy management for compliance and auditability.
A hyperscale research campus deploys the Nexus 9364C ACI Spine with 64p 40/100G QSFP28 to interconnect GPU/CPU clusters and storage arrays. Its 2.56 Tbps per slot capacity and lossless ACI overlay enable high-throughput data ingestion, parallel model training, and burst-buffer transfers. Outcome: 3× faster training cycles, seamless multi-tenant isolation, and centralized telemetry with integrated Cisco Nexus Dashboard for proactive capacity planning.
A global cloud service provider integrates the N9K-C9364C-Nexus 9364C as the ACI Spine core for multi-tenant IaaS and 5G network slicing. Its 64 QSFP28 ports support on-demand 40/100 Gbps bandwidth and automated policy provisioning via Cisco ACI. Outcome: Dynamic slice deployment in under 10 minutes, 60% reduction in network provisioning overhead, and guaranteed SLAs for each virtualized tenant and mobile network segment.
Replacing a retired N5K-C5648Q in an existing fabric calls for a migration check rather than a like-for-like port assumption. N9K-C9364C replaces that chassis and is also a migration option for N9K-C9336PQ and N9K-C92304QC. Specify the operating mode and the existing fabric's software requirements before the PO.
Standardizing spare hardware across rows requires the same airflow direction as the installed chassis. Port-side intake uses NXA-FAN-160CFM-PI with NXA-PAC-1200W-PI; port-side exhaust uses NXA-FAN-160CFM-PE with NXA-PAC-1200W-PE. Mixing airflow directions can overheat the chassis. Specify aisle orientation and both fan and power-supply PIDs on each order.
Staging a spare on a 100-120V bench supply does not establish the redundant operating state expected in a higher-voltage rack. N9K-C9364C does not support PSU redundancy at that input range, even with both AC supplies installed. Check the destination feeds and record the intended redundancy state before releasing the purchase order.
Breakout connections to lower-speed endpoints
N9K-C9364C does not support breakout cables on its 40/100G interfaces. Fabric connections must use compatible native-speed links rather than split those ports into independently connected lanes.
Dynamic routing without additional licenses
N9K-C9364C does not include the additional licenses required for advanced IP unicast or multicast routing. Specify the appropriate XF2 entitlement rather than treating the hardware PID as a routing-license bundle.
Manufacturer support beyond January 2029
Cisco support for N9K-C9364C ends January 31, 2029. The current replacement N9K-C9364C-GX retains 64 40/100G interfaces and supports ACI leaf or spine deployment.

N9K-C9364C identifies the Nexus 9000 family's 9364C fixed spine model, with 64 40/100G QSFP28 interfaces and two 1/10G SFP+ interfaces. N9K is the family prefix; C9364C is the model identifier. The complete part number does not specify an additional software-license tier, so advanced entitlements must be specified separately.
N9K-C9364C is managed through the NX-OS CLI over a local console, SSH or Telnet, or through Cisco APIC in ACI spine mode using its GUI, CLI or API. Dedicated copper and fiber management connections separate management access from fabric links. Choose the operating mode before configuration and licensing.
N9K-C9364C is discontinued, with end of sale on January 30, 2024 and last support on January 31, 2029. New service attachment ended January 29, 2025, while existing contract renewals end April 26, 2028. N9K-C9364C-GX is the current named replacement; remaining support depends on valid entitlement.
ORM Systems offers N9K-C9364C new sealed with up to three-year extended coverage or certified refurbished with up to one year. Cisco separately provides a one-year limited hardware warranty, bounded by January 31, 2029. Both conditions have 30-day returns, terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default.
N9K-C9364C uses XF2 licensing: DCN Essentials, Advantage and Premier subscriptions have three-, five- or seven-year terms, with three years the minimum. Perpetual Advantage is available through ACI-AD-XF2 for ACI/NX-OS or NXOS-AD-XF2 for NX-OS only. Perpetual licenses are not portable between devices, and hardware condition does not eliminate feature-license requirements.
N9K-C9364C replaces N5K-C5648Q and is a migration option for N9K-C9336PQ and N9K-C92304QC. Their end-of-sale dates are September 9, 2020, March 5, 2019 and August 29, 2019, respectively. N9K-C9364C is itself discontinued, so replacement purchasing must account for its January 31, 2029 support deadline.
Yes, N9K-C9364C supports static routes, SVIs and HSRP without an additional license in NX-OS mode. Those base capabilities do not include the separately licensed advanced IP unicast and multicast routing functions. Specify the required routing feature set and its XF2 entitlement before assuming the hardware order includes dynamic routing.
No, the Cisco Nexus 9364C does not support breakout cables on its fixed 40/100G QSFP28 interfaces. A breakout harness does not turn those fabric ports into independently supported lower-speed connections. Specify native-speed links and compatible optics for this model, or select different hardware when lane breakout is a firm requirement.
1245W maximum input power and 429W typical input power are the N9K-C9364C provisioning figures. Peak input demand includes the switch and power-supply requirements, not just the PSU's output rating. Reserve the maximum at the power source rather than sizing the circuit from typical consumption or a component's output label.
No, only the last 16 QSFP28 interfaces on N9K-C9364C provide wire-rate MACsec capability; the entire 64-port fabric does not. Security licensing must match the selected software path, and the operating release must support the feature. Specify which fabric links need encryption before assigning ports or ordering security entitlements.
N9K-C9364C carries 64 40/100G QSFP28 interfaces where N9K-C9332C carries 32, giving the models different fabric-port densities. Both models are discontinued and include two additional 1/10G SFP+ interfaces. The 64-port unit suits existing fabrics requiring that density; the 32-port model suits lower-density like-for-like sparing rather than a current-generation replacement purchase.
N9K-C9364C= is a discontinued spare chassis without the accessory kit, power supplies or fans, while N9K-C9364C is the populated base model. Both preserve the same fixed interface layout. The base unit suits replacement orders needing a complete chassis; the spare designation requires separately matched power, cooling and mounting components.
N9K-C9364C-GX supports ACI leaf or spine deployment, whereas N9K-C9364C is an ACI spine model. Both carry 64 native 40/100G QSFP28 interfaces. N9K-C9364C is discontinued; N9K-C9364C-GX is the current replacement. Match N9K-C9364C for existing-spine sparing, or specify N9K-C9364C-GX for a current leaf-capable hardware order.
N9K-C9364C-RF identifies Cisco-remanufactured hardware, not ORM-certified refurbished N9K-C9364C. ORM's certified refurbished condition means inspected and bench-tested hardware with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. These are separate condition descriptions. Advanced software entitlements remain separate from hardware condition; refurbishment does not remove the licensing requirements of the selected feature set.
