Ideal Use Cases
Top-of-Rack (ToR) Leaf Switch
The 48-port 25G SFP28 downlink density makes this switch ideal for top-of-rack server connectivity in modern data center leaf-spine fabrics, supporting high server counts per rack without additional aggregation hardware.
Cisco ACI Fabric Leaf Node
Fully ACI-ready, the N9K-C93180YC-FX3 integrates seamlessly into Cisco ACI deployments as a leaf node, enabling automated policy enforcement, centralized management, and intent-driven network operations.
VXLAN EVPN Fabric Deployment
With native VXLAN EVPN support and BGP control-plane integration, this switch is well-suited for overlay fabric deployments in private cloud and multi-tenant enterprise data center environments.
Cloud-Scale Enterprise Core
The combination of 3.6 Tbps capacity, wire-rate forwarding, and multi-rate port flexibility supports high-traffic enterprise core or aggregation roles where bandwidth density and protocol depth are both required.
Telco Data Center Edge
Built-in SyncE and PTP boundary clock (G.8275.1) support makes this switch a strong fit for telco and carrier data-center edge environments requiring precise time and frequency synchronization.
Network Refresh or Capacity Expansion
Organizations upgrading from 10G to 25G server connectivity, or expanding existing Nexus 9000 fabric deployments, can use this refurbished unit to scale capacity at a fraction of new hardware cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
Yes. The switch supports both Cisco ACI mode for intent-based, policy-driven fabric automation and Cisco NX-OS mode for traditional programmable networking. The operating mode is selected at deployment and can be changed with a reload and reimaging of the switch software.
Yes. Each of the 48 SFP28 downlink ports independently supports 1G, 10G, or 25G operation, providing investment protection and deployment flexibility across mixed-speed server environments. The 6 QSFP28 uplink ports independently support 40G or 100G.
Yes. The N9K-C93180YC-FX3 supports wire-rate MACsec encryption on its ports for Layer 2 security, and it supports VXLAN EVPN for overlay fabric deployments. Both features are confirmed in the official Cisco datasheet for the Nexus 9300-FX3 series.
Yes. Every WhaleyComm unit ships with a Lifetime Warranty. If it fails under normal operating conditions at any point, we replace it at no cost — no time limits, no questions asked.
Every unit goes through our ISO 9001-certified testing process: full power-on diagnostics, port-by-port functionality testing, firmware verification, factory reset, and final inspection. A Certificate of Testing ships with every unit.
