Migrating from a Cisco switch to a Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2 cluster switch

You must be aware of certain configuration information, port connections and cabling requirements when you are replacing some older Cisco Nexus cluster switches with Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2 cluster switches.

• The following cluster switches are supported:
  • Nexus 9336C-FX2
• The cluster switches use the following ports for connections to nodes:
  • Nexus 9336C-FX2:
    • Ports 1- 3: Breakout mode (4x10G) Intra-Cluster Ports, int e1/1/1-4, e1/2/1-4, e1/3/1-4
    • Ports 4- 6: Breakout mode (4x25G) Intra-Cluster/HA Ports, int e1/4/1-4, e1/5/1-4, e1/6/1-4
    • Ports 7-34: 40/100GbE Intra-Cluster/HA Ports, int e1/7-34
• The cluster switches use the following Inter-Switch Link (ISL) ports:
  • Ports int e1/35-36: Nexus 9336C-FX2
• You have configured some of the ports on Nexus 9336C-FX2 switches to run at 10 GbE or 40 GbE.
• You have planned, migrated, and documented 10 GbE and 40 GbE connectivity from nodes to Nexus 9336C-FX2 cluster switches.
