N9K-C9336C-FX2 - Cisco Nexus 9000 Series

N9K-C9336C-FX2 Hardware Identity

N9K-C9336C-FX2 is the order identifier for the Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2, a fixed 1-RU spine or leaf switch in the Nexus 9300-FX2 platform. Cisco documents 36 40/100G QSFP28 ports. Optics, cables, licenses and modular components are included only when itemized in the quote.

Thirty-six-port fabric role decision

Decide whether the switch is used as a compact spine, high-speed leaf or media-fabric node, then assign all thirty-six QSFP28 interfaces accordingly. Preserve speed, breakout, FEC and media for every peer and avoid mixing role assumptions across the same chassis. Review the applicable Cisco software advisories and field notices before selecting the image. Acceptance must include the intended control plane, not only link lights, and should show that a failed uplink does not strand any attached high-bandwidth endpoint.

Acceptance test

Test the selected operating mode, representative 40/100G and breakout links, routing or fabric convergence, and the approved fixed software release.

Software and lifecycle control

Validate NX-OS or ACI mode, release interoperability, breakout/FEC combinations, licensing and the Cisco field-notice software baseline.

Quote checks

• Match the chassis PID, serial, airflow and power option to the received unit.
• List every transceiver, cable, breakout, license and support entitlement separately.
• Record the approved NX-OS or ACI mode, image checksum and rollback path.
• Preserve the port map, peer ownership and failure-test evidence with the asset.
