Nexus 93180YC-FX3S FEX mode

[apereira3]

Hello dears,

I'm looking for some informations about Nexus 93180YC-FX3S switch model, because I only found this option as a FEX device with 100G interfaces.

1) This switch has 48 1/10/25G SFP HIF (host interfaces) and 6 40/100G QSFP28 NIF (network interfaces). The NIF can be used to connect hosts (example: blade servers) or only can be used to connect to parent switch?

2) This switch can be a FEX device of the Nexus 7000/7700 series switches?

Thank you!

Hi,

The NIF can be used to connect hosts (example: blade servers) or only can be used to connect to parent switch?

You can connect anything you want to these ports as long as they are 40 or 100Gig compatible.

 This switch can be a FEX device of the Nexus 7000/7700 series switches?

The switch can be converted to FEX mode but not sure to what parent switch you can connect it. This may be a question for your Cisco SE.
