The Cisco Nexus N9K-C9396PX-BA-L3 is a high-performance, Layer 3 data center switch designed for scalability, automation, and security. With 96 fixed 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports, it provides ultra-low latency and high throughput, making it ideal for cloud environments, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing.
This switch runs on Cisco NX-OS, offering advanced programmability through REST APIs, Python scripting, and automation tools like Ansible. It ensures seamless network operations with VXLAN support, multi-tenancy capabilities, and integrated security protocols, including MACsec encryption and micro-segmentation.
Designed for reliability and efficiency, the N9K-C9396PX-BA-L3 features hot-swappable power supplies and fan trays, ensuring minimal downtime. Its energy-efficient design optimizes power consumption while delivering superior performance.
Organizations everywhere recognize that changing application environments are creating new demands for the IT infrastructure that supports them. Application workloads are deployed across a mix of virtualized and non-virtualized server and storage infrastructure, requiring a network infrastructure that provides consistent connectivity, security, and visibility across a range of bare-metal, virtualized, and cloud computing environments:
- Application instances are created dynamically. As a result, the provisioning, modification, and removal of application network connectivity needs to be dynamic as well.
- Business units demand accelerated application deployments. IT departments have to provide shared IT infrastructure to address time-to-market needs and to increase their return on investment (ROI).
- With organizations deploying a mix of custom, open source, and off-the-shelf commercial applications, IT departments must manage both security and quality of service (QoS) for environments that support multitenancy.
- Applications have been transitioning over time to a less monolithic, scale-out, multimode model. IT infrastructure that supports this model must scale with the speed of business and support both 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
