- Assuming you are aware as to the purpose of these devices on your network, you may for instance start searching (yourself) by looking at :

N9K-C93180YC-EX <<- you want to replace this NSK ? can I know why?

Hello, the EOL listed for N9K-C93180YC-EX is Aug 21 and EOS is Aug 24. Although its still time but not very urgent for this switch. Our organization is currently auditing for EOL and EOS ones and these are the ones being shown as EOS. Thats why asking for suggestions if this can be continued with a replacement model or shall we go continue with the same.
Thank you.

- In essence , it does not matter , check 'what you need' (replacing that device) in the network , for that purpose , use the switch selector -> start from scratch ,

Hello @Karthik N,
Fabrice Extender N2k will not be replace. FEX is the old world now (lol).
You can switch to N5K or N9K series with back to back vPC configuration with your SW-CORE.
