Hi ,
Looking for a Cisco Nexus 9300 (40G port) using as a FEX Aggregation switch in NXOS mode.
Cisco has announced N5696Q as EOS/EOL May 2021, and recommended to use N9K-C9364C-GX (40G ports) as replacement.
But this switch cannot be a parent switch for N2K fex (doesn't support FEX Aggregation).
Can we use N9K-C9336C-FX2 as a replacement for N5696Q (Though its not in the recommended list of Cisco as a replacement)?
