Type Of Tutorial SFP Switch Cisco Nexus 9000 Switch

Cisco N9K-C9336PQ= Switch Overview

N9K-C9336PQ= belongs to the Cisco Catalyst Nexus 9000 (Fixed 9300) Series Switches; these switches are ideal for traditional or fully automated data center deployments. The Cisco Nexus 9300 Series Switches include both spine and leaf switches. The Cisco Nexus 9336PQ ACI Spine Switch is a 2-rack-unit (2RU) spine switch for Cisco ACI that supports 1.44 Tbps of bandwidth across 36 fixed 40 QSFP+ ports. The rest of the Cisco Nexus 9300 platform is composed of fixed-port leaf switches. Cisco Nexus 9300 platform leaf switches are Layer 2 and 3 nonblocking 10 and 40 Gigabit Eth the Cisco Nexus 9336PQ Switch is designed for a spine role only.

How to determine what types of optical transceivers for Cisco switches?

1. Finding the corresponding optical module compatibility matrix via Cisco official website. 
2. On the running switches, enter the privileged mode and input # "show idprom interface gi1 / 0/48" command, you can query the optical module model and serial number, If not, try to input other two commands: xuxic or show idprom int g2/6
3. Checking the type and port based on the specification, it can be used as long as it is gigabit SFP optical module interface. But the specific models to be decided according to the actual demand, such as type, the actual use of distance, single-mode or multimode, single fiber or dual fiber etc. Welcome to consult Cozlink engineer.

Summary

The Cisco N9K-C9336PQ= switch offers advanced scalability in the smallest spine switch form factor, and enables connectivity to up-to 36 Cisco Nexus 9300 leaf switches with its high port density of 36 40 GbE ports and 1.44 Tbps throughput. These switches are compatible with various Gigabit Ethernet SFP optical transceivers. All these fiber optic transceivers are available on Cozlink at really competitive prices. You can expect same day shipping on cozlink. Not just optical transceivers, you can also find fiber optic pigtails and high speed cables for your choice on cozlink.
