Product overview
The Cisco Nexus® 9300-FX2 Series switches belongs to the fixed Cisco Nexus 9000 platform based on Cisco
Cloud Scale technology. The platform support cost-effective cloud-scale deployments, an increased number of
endpoints, and cloud services with wire-rate security and telemetry. The platform is built on modern system
architecture designed to provide high performance and meet the evolving needs of highly scalable data centers
and growing enterprises.

Cisco Nexus 9300-FX2 series is an extension of Nexus 9300-FX series switches with higher bandwidth
capacity. The switches offer a variety of interface options to transparently migrate existing data centers from 1-
Gbps, and 10-Gbps speeds to 25- Gbps at the server, and from 10- and 40-Gbps speeds to 50- and 100-
Gbps at the aggregation layer. The platforms provide investment protection for customers, delivering large
buffers, highly flexible Layer 2 and Layer 3 scalability, and performance to meet the changing needs of
virtualized data centers and automated cloud environments.

Cisco provides two modes of operation for Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches. Organizations can use Cisco
NX-OS Software to deploy the switches in standard Cisco Nexus switch environments (NX-OS mode).
Organizations can also deploy the infrastructure that is ready to support the Cisco Application Centric
Infrastructure (Cisco ACI™) platform to take full advantage of an automated, policy-based, systems-
management approach (ACI mode).

 ● High Scalability, flexibility, and security

◦ Flexible forwarding tables support up to 1 million shared entries on FX2 models. Flexible use of TCAM
space allows for custom definition of Access Control List (ACL) templates.

◦ IEEE 802.1ae MAC Security (MACsec1) and Cloudsec (VTEP to VTEP encryption) support on all ports
of 9300-FX2 models with speed greater than or equal to 1-Gbps, allows traffic encryption at the
physical layer and provides secure server, border leaf, and leaf-to-spine connectivity.
● Intelligent Buffer Management

◦ The platform offers Cisco’s innovative intelligent buffer management, that offers capability to
distinguish mice and elephant flows and apply different queue management schemes to them based
on their network forwarding requirements in the event of link congestion.

◦ Intelligent buffer management functions are:

◦ Approximate Fair Dropping (AFD) with Elephant Trap (ETRAP). AFD distinguishes long-lived elephant
flows from short-lived mice flows, by using ETRAP. AFD exempts mice flows from the dropping
algorithm so that mice flows will get their fair share of bandwidth without being starved by
bandwidth-hungry elephant flows. Also, AFD tracks elephant flows and subjects them to the AFD
algorithm in the egress queue to grant them their fair share of bandwidth.

◦ ETRAP measures the byte counts of incoming flows and compares this against the user defined
ETRAP threshold. After a flow crosses the threshold, it becomes an elephant flow.

◦ Dynamic Packet Prioritization (DPP) provides the capability of separating mice flows and elephant
flows into two different queues so that buffer space can be allocated to them independently. Mice
flows, sensitive to congestion and latency can take priority queue and avoid re-ordering that allows to
elephant flows to take full link bandwidth.
● RDME over Converged Ethernet – RoCE support

◦ Platform offers lossless transport for RDMA over Converged Ethernet with support of DCB protocols:

◦ Priority-based Flow Control – (PFC) to prevent drops in the network and pause frame propagation per
priority class.

◦ Enhanced Transmission Selection – (ETS) to reserve bandwidth per priority class in network
contention situation.

◦ Data Center Bridging Exchange Protocol – (DCBX) to discover and exchange priority and bandwidth
information with end points.

◦ Platform also supports Explicit Congestion Notification – (ECN) that provides end-to-end notification
per IP flow by marking packets that experienced congestion, without dropping traffic. The platform is
capable to track ECN statistics of number of marked packet that have experienced congestion.

 ● LAN and SAN Convergence

◦ Fibre Channel2 and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) N-Port Virtualization (NPV) support enables
the network administrator to control domain IDs and points of management on a Fibre Channel
network as it scales. This feature enables LAN and SAN converged networks on a lossless, reliable
Ethernet network.
● Hardware and software high availability

◦ Virtual Port-Channel (vPC) technology provides Layer 2 multipathing through the elimination of
Spanning Tree Protocol. It also enables fully utilized bisectional bandwidth and simplified Layer 2
logical topologies without the need to change the existing management and deployment models.

◦ The 64-way Equal-Cost MultiPath (ECMP) routing enables the use of Layer 3 fat-tree designs. This
feature helps organizations prevent network bottlenecks, increase resiliency, and add capacity with
little network disruption.

◦ Advanced reboot capabilities include hot and cold patching.

◦ The switches use hot-swappable Power-Supply Units (PSUs) and fans with N+1 redundancy.
● Purpose-built Cisco NX-OS Software operating system with comprehensive, proven innovations

◦ Single binary image that supports every switch in the Cisco Nexus 9000 series, simplifying image
management. The operating system is modular, with a dedicated process for each routing protocol: a
design that isolates faults while increasing availability. In the event of a process failure, the process
can be restarted without loss of state. The operating system supports hot and cold patching and
online diagnostics.

◦ Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) is the network management platform for all NX-OS-enabled
deployments, spanning new fabric architectures, IP Fabric for Media, and storage networking
deployments for the Cisco Nexus®-powered data center. Accelerate provisioning from days to
minutes, and simplify deployments from day zero through day N. Reduce troubleshooting cycles with
graphical operational visibility for topology, network fabric, and infrastructure. Eliminate configuration
errors and automate ongoing change in a closed loop, with templated deployment models and
configuration compliance alerting with automatic remediation. Real-time health summary for fabric,
devices, and topology. Correlated visibility for fabric (underlay, overlay, virtual and physical
endpoints), including compute visualization with VMware.

◦ Network traffic monitoring with Cisco Nexus Data Broker builds simple, scalable, and cost-effective
network Test Access Points (TAPs) and Cisco Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) aggregation for
network traffic monitoring and analysis.

 ● Cisco Tetration Analytics platform support

◦ The telemetry information from the Nexus 9300 Series switches is exported every 100 milliseconds
by default directly from the switch’s Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). This information
consists of three types of data: (a) Flow information, this information contains information about
endpoints, protocols, ports, when the flow started, how long the flow was active, etc. (b) Inter-packet
variation, this information captures any inter-packet variations within the flow. Examples include
variation in Time To Live (TTL), IP and TCP flags, payload length, etc. (c) Context details, context
information is derived outside the packet header, including variation in buffer utilization, packet drops
within a flow, association with tunnel endpoints, etc.

◦ The Cisco Tetration Analytics platform consumes this telemetry data, and by using unsupervised
machine learning and behavior analysis it can provide outstanding pervasive visibility across
everything in your data center in real time. By using algorithmic approaches, the Cisco Tetration
Analytics platform provides a deep application insights and interactions, enabling dramatically
simplified operations, a zero-trust model, and migration of applications to any programmable
infrastructure. To learn more, go to https://www.cisco.com/go/tetration.
● Cisco Network Assurance Engine (NAE)

◦ Cisco NAE continuously verifies if the network infrastructure is operating as per policy intent and it
leverages the power of mathematical models to reason on behalf of the operator in policy,
configuration and dynamic state level. NAE can precisely indicate problems in the network, identify
which application or part of network is impacted, root-cause the problem and suggest how to fix it.
Its continuous verification approach transforms Day 2 Operations from reactive to proactive mode and
it does so without using any packet data. NAE helps avoid outages by predicting the impact of
changes, reducing network related IT incidents and shrinking the mean time to repair by up to 66%.
NAE also helps assure network security and segmentation compliance. To learn more about NAE, visit
