Overview

The Cisco Nexus 9316D-GX is a 1-rack-unit Cloud Scale switch supporting 12.8 Tbps and over 4.3 bpps across 16 QSFP-DD ports, each configurable for 10/25/40/50/100/200/400G. Its high-bandwidth, low-port-count design makes it an efficient 400G spine or compact super-spine for modern data center fabrics. The platform targets AI/ML and high-performance environments that demand dense 400G interconnect in minimal rack space. It runs Cisco NX-OS with VXLAN EVPN, MACsec, and line-rate telemetry.
