CISCO C1-N9K-C93180LC-EX Nexus 9000 Series Switches

C1-N9K-C93180LC-EX Single-Switch Cisco ONE Configuration

C1-N9K-C93180LC-EX is the single-switch Cisco ONE ordering PID for the Nexus 93180LC-EX. Cisco's exact lifecycle row describes 24 40/50G ports and six 100G ports. This page represents one chassis configuration; it does not include the two-switch and eight-optic contents of C1-N9K-C93180LCB2.

Cisco ONE entitlement audit

Capture the chassis PID and serial, Cisco ONE software entitlement, Smart Account assignment, NX-OS or ACI mode and every installed license. A Cisco ONE prefix does not by itself prove that a transferable or active entitlement is available on used equipment. Validate ownership and support status before relying on advanced features.

Port-profile and hardware acceptance

Record the active port profile and prove the intended mix of 40/50G and 100G interfaces with supported optics, FEC and breakout settings. Inventory PSUs, fans, airflow, rack kit and memory separately, then test redundant power, thermal telemetry and sustained forwarding.

Unsupported-platform decision

Cisco ended sale August 30, 2020 and support August 31, 2025. The lifecycle notice recommends migration to Nexus 9336C-FX2. Procurement after the last support date should include a documented spares strategy, software provenance, security risk acceptance and an approved migration schedule.

Official evidence: Cisco exact single-PID identity and lifecycle, Cisco product and PID record and Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2 platform data.
