[sachinc01]

Hi Team,

I have above switch N9K-C9236C and my end NIC card has 200GB card i want to do the connectivity between Switch to server to using splitter cable 2port 100Gb + 100GB switch side and next hope will be my NIC it has 200GB

So which QSFP Module and Splitter cable do i need please guide me and share compatible matrix it will support to NIC or not.

my end NIC card has 200MBPS card

200MB  is this correct ? this is non-standard.

Look at the N9K Model datasheet :

Possibilities :

The Cisco Nexus 9236C Switch (Figure 5) is a 1RU switch that supports 7.2 Tbps of bandwidth and over 5.3 bpps across 36 100-Gbps QSFP28 ports. Each of the ports on the 9236C can be individually configured into 1x100Gbps, 1 x 40 Gbps, 4 x 10/25 Gbps, 2 x 50 Gbps or 1 x 1/10 Gbps using QSA adapter. It provides industry’s best density and flexibility needed for data center spine or aggregation connectivity, in a compact form factor.

You can use a QSFP28 100Gb module and a QSFP28 to 2x100Gb splitter cable on the switch side. Ensure the splitter cable is compatible with both your N9K-C9236C switch, and the 200Gb NIC on your server.
