Product Overview
The Cisco N9K-C9332D-GX2B Nexus 9300 GX2 Series is a new generation data centre switch, which is developed to provide high performance, scalability and efficiency to any modern enterprise, cloud and service provider network. This 1RU switch is based on the Nexus 9000 architecture and has a switching capacity of 12.8 Tbps with the capability to handle the requirements of high-density 400G environments.
The N9K-C9332D-GX2B is a 400G-supported switch that offers 32-port support, 400G, 200G, 100G, and 40G connectivity configurations to support future network infrastructures. It has low latency and high throughput, which make it suitable for AI/ML clusters and spine-leaf architectures and data centres that demand exceptional bandwidth efficiency.
The switch is based on Cisco NX-OS, and it has all the Layer 2 and Layer 3 feature sets, robust security, and automation functionalities. The N9K-C9332D-GX2B enhances the operations of the network with advanced telemetry and streaming analytics and programmability using Cisco NX-API, making it the most reliable when it comes to mission-critical workloads.
