    Overview, page 1 Overview The Cisco Nexus 92300YC switch (N9K-C92300YC) is a 1.2-RU, fixed-port switch designed for Top-of-Rack (ToR) deployment in data centers. This switch has 48 downlink SFP28 ports that you can configure to work as 10- or 25-Gigabit ports, and it has 18 fixed uplink QSFP28 ports that you can configure to work as 40- or 100-Gigabit ports.
