Cisco N7K-M348XP-25L End of Life & End of Support

Cisco Nexus 7000 M3-Series 48-Port 10GE Module

Supported through Feb 28, 2027

The Nexus 7000 M3-Series 48 port 10GE module, alongside the related 24 port 40GE M3 module, delivered the Layer 3 capable forwarding engine for Nexus 7000 deployments that needed full internet routing tables. Cisco's bulletin lists the same Nexus 9500 line card (N9K-X97160YC-EX) as the replacement. Customers should verify their target Nexus 9500 chassis and supervisor combination supports the routing scale their M3 deployment required.
