This is an interesting looking switch.

There does not seem to be any specific documentation outside of the hardware install and the generic nexus guide.
I imagine there will be a little show on these and its buddies at cisco live.

Does anyone know if like it's generation 1 brother the Nexus 9396PX Switch - doesit supports 1Gig Copper SFP?
We did a few rollouts of that switch last year, and it did work with GLC-T's.

This would be a great core switch for a small data center deployment - but 1 gig north border devices would often be copper. (ASA etc)

According to the 1G Transceiver Compatibility Matrix, yes it supports 1G
in NX-OS mode.  GLC-SX-MM, GLC-T (1G only), GLC-TE (1G only), SFP-GE-T,
GLC-LH-SM, GLC-ZX-SMD, GLC-SX-MMD, GLC-LH-SMD, and GLC-EX-SMD.

(Disclaimer, I work for Cisco as an SE, but this is a public resource I
give out to customers which is maintained by BU folks, so can be taken
as official confirmation of support.)

One more question - I see the FX series supports up to 1.7 million routes, but is slightly slower at pure pps forwarding.
Are these positioned as more of a "router" than the EX series?

Thank you. This is good news.

Hoping it is similarly priced to the 9396PX
