Hi, guys.
I really want to know about the difference between N9300 Platforms EX and FX.
I found the just one difference is the SSD capacity.
Please give me the information about the N9300 Platforms~ Thank you!

I once was told that the EX had 25GE hardware according to pre-standard 25GE implementation (cisco prop)
The FX had 25GE hardware in accordance to the 25GE standard.
Don't know if this is true.

On a similar note is it possible to upgrade an existing 9300EX to a 9300FX??

Hi
The key difference between 9300-EX and 9300-FX series is FC traffic support.
The 9300-FX series support FC traffic.
Thank you.

Hi MKH, This is can be a bit misleading. Not all FX support FC. The 93108TC-FX-24 for example is FX but does not have support for FC. Therefore - it is important that FX is not thought of as always having FC capabilities as not all FX do.
Hope this helps,

in addition to the FC/FCOE port support, FX also has the latest ASIC and support streaming telemetry better than the EX

Can you please let us know which latest ASIC FX support?
I thought both EX and FX support LSE ASIC.

Hi,
Here is a mapping between platform and ASIC on the switch/linecard:
Platform | ASIC |
9300-GX | LS6400GX |
9300-FX2 | LS3600FX2 |
9364C | S6400 |
9300-FX / X9700-FX | LS1800FX |
9300-EX / X9700-EX | LSE |
Here is also a view of the ASIC Slices:

The Nexus 9300 FX platform supports FC and FCoE and EX does not support it. Beside to that, EX does not support MACsec.
