Cisco Nexus 9364C Switch: Cisco NX-OS Fixed
Spine Switch
Product overview
Based on Cisco® Cloud Scale technology, the Cisco Nexus® 9300 platform consists of industry-leading, ultra-highdensity fixed-configuration data center switches with line-rate Layer 2 and 3 features that support enterprise and
commercial applications, service provider hosting, and cloud computing environments.
The next-generation Cisco Nexus 9364C Switch is the first 64-port 100-Gbps fixed switch on the market to offer a
single Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) architecture. The 9364C offers diversified connectivity with
speed combinations of 1, 10, 40, and 100 Gbps for multiple use cases to meet the changing needs of virtualized
data centers and automated cloud environments. Using the industry-leading Cisco NX-OS Software operating
system, the 9364C spine switch offers flexibility, mobility, investment protection, and scale for service providers,
enterprises, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions, and cloud providers. Designed for the programmable
network, the NX-OS operating system automates configuration and management for customers who want to take
advantage of the DevOps operation model and tool sets.
The product is designed to support innovative technologies such as Media Access Control Security (MACsec),
Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) tunnel endpoint VTEP–to–VTEP overlay encryption, and Streaming Statistics
Export (SSX)1. MACsec is a security technology that allows traffic encryption at the physical layer and provides
secure server, border leaf, and leaf-to-spine connectivity. SSX is hardware based, consisting of a module that
reads statistics from the ASIC and sends them to a remote server for analysis. Through this application, users can
better understand network performance without any impact on the switch control plane or CPU.

Check the support and port configuration details in Table 2.
The 9364C spine switch with NX-OS supports up to 12.84 Tbps of bandwidth across 64 fixed 40/100-Gbps
QSFP28 ports2 and 2 fixed 1/10-Gbps SFP+ ports (Figure 1). The last 16 ports, marked in green, support wire-rate
MACsec. The switch supports up to 4.3 billion packets per second (bpps) in a 2-Rack-Unit (2RU) form factor,
flexible Ternary Content-Addressable Memory (TCAM) templates, VXLAN routing, and buffer capacity of 40 MB.
Software support is on the roadmap. See the latest release notes for additional information.
Ports 1-64 do not support breakout.
