[c-nsp] Nexus 9300

[Drew Weaver]

According to an SE the 9300 doesn't support all of the 40G modules/cables i.e. you cannot use the QSFP+ -> 4x10G cables, I couldn't find out why. It works fine on the 3172.

Thanks,
-Drew

Nexus 3Ks are small ToR switches, mostly used for L2 with some supporting simple L3 stuff.

Nexus 9500s are the big 6500/N7K replacements, Nexus 9300s are 1U/2U ToR/Leaf-Spine switches.

There's others like the 4K/5K/6K models as well, but those are mostly pitched at ToR or aggregation roles or are specific blade center switches (4Ks)

It was so much easier when it was just the 7010 and 5010/5020.  ;-)
