Cisco N9K-C9396TX, Refurbished Managed L3 10G Ethernet (100/1000/10000) 2U Grey

The Cisco Nexus 9396TX is a dense, line-rate 10GBase-T switch. It delivers comprehensive line-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 overlays and the Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) feature set. It is ideal for top-of-rack deployments in both traditional and ACI-enabled enterprise, service provider, and cloud environments. The Cisco Nexus 9396TX Switch has 48 10GBase-T ports that can operate at 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gbps speeds and 12 Quad Small Form Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) uplinks. All the ports are line rate, delivering 1.92 Tbps of throughput in a 2-rack-unit (2RU) form factor. The switch can be deployed as an access switch in traditional three-tier designs or as a leaf node in spine-leaf architectures. ACI Support – Integrated multi-hypervisor and bare-metal interoperation with VLAN and VxLAN routing and bridging support in ACI mode – Single view of the entire fabric on APIC dashboard – Full normalization of any encapsulation inside the fabric – Consistent policy-based approach to deploying applications on top of the ACI fabric – Fabric supports seamless integration of layer 4 (physical and virual) services in the end-to-end ACI policy framework – Cohesive alignment of policies as workload moves around inside the fabric Programmability – Open APIs to manage the switch through remote-procedure calls (JavaScript Object Notation or XML) over HTTP or HTTPS – Automated configuration through Linux shell scripts – Support for customer applications through a Linux container environment High Availability – Hot-swappable, redundant power supplies and fan trays – Full patching support Energy Efficiency – Power supplies that are rated at 80 Plus Platinum – Support for front-to-back or back-to-front airflow configuration Investment Protection – 40 Gb bidirectional transceiver for reuse of existing 10 Gigabit Ethernet multimode cabling plant for 40 Gigabit Ethernet – Support for Cisco NX-OS and ACI modes of operation
