Questions & Answers
What is the Cisco N9K-C9504-FM-E=?
The N9K-C9504-FM-E= is a hot-swappable fabric module for the Cisco Nexus 9504 chassis, delivering 100G backplane connectivity and optimized for Cisco ACI and NX-OS environments.
Which chassis models are compatible with the N9K-C9504-FM-E=?
The N9K-C9504-FM-E= is compatible exclusively with the Cisco Nexus 9504 modular switch chassis.
What fabric capacity does the N9K-C9504-FM-E= deliver?
Each N9K-C9504-FM-E= fabric module delivers up to 36Tbps of internal switching capacity, and installing all four modules provides an aggregate of 144Tbps in the Nexus 9504 chassis.
How many fabric modules can be installed in the Nexus 9504?
The Nexus 9504 chassis supports up to four N9K-C9504-FM-E= modules with N+1 redundancy for continuous fabric availability.
Which software releases does N9K-C9504-FM-E= support?
