Elevate your data center access with the Cisco Nexus 2348TQ-E Fabric Extender, a powerhouse in the Cisco Nexus 2300 family designed to simplify and scale your network while delivering consistent, enterprise-grade performance. As the successor to the widely adopted Nexus 2000 Series, the 2348TQ-E extends the fabric efficiently from the core to the access layer, enabling centralized management, streamlined cabling, and a unified policy framework across your entire data center. This Fabric Extender (FEX) leverages Cisco’s proven NX-OS-based fabric architecture to provide a seamless, policy-driven experience that reduces operational complexity and accelerates deployment in modern, multi-site deployments.

Designed to work in harmony with Cisco Nexus switches, the Nexus 2348TQ-E acts as a remote access point for servers, storage, and virtualization resources, while the parent Nexus switch handles the control plane and policy enforcement. This approach helps IT teams consolidate management, improve visibility, and maintain strict security and performance standards across racks and rows. Whether you’re building a greenfield data center, expanding capacity, or refreshing an aging infrastructure, the Nexus 2348TQ-E fabric extender is engineered to fit into a wide range of deployment models, including traditional data centers and Cisco ACI-enabled environments.

  • Unified fabric access with reduced complexity — The Cisco Nexus 2348TQ-E sits at the data center access layer and forwards traffic to a centralized parent Nexus switch, simplifying topology, cabling, and policy enforcement while preserving full feature parity across the fabric.
  • High-density server connectivity with flexible uplinks — Designed to deliver dense port access for servers, storage, and virtualization workloads, the 2348TQ-E supports flexible uplink options to match your existing infrastructure and future scalability needs without compromising performance.
  • NX-OS-driven management for consistent operations — Managed through the parent Nexus switch, this FEX benefits from familiar Cisco NX-OS tooling, CLI familiarity, robust automation APIs, and centralized monitoring for streamlined operations.
  • Low-latency, reliable data path — Built to deliver deterministic, low-latency forwarding critical for latency-sensitive applications, while offering high availability features to reduce downtime and ensure business continuity.
  • Seamless integration with Cisco fabric ecosystems — Works alongside Cisco ACI, Cisco Nexus switches, and Cisco’s policy-based automation framework, enabling scalable, automated deployments and a single control plane across the data center fabric.

Technical Details of Cisco Nexus 2348TQ-E Fabric Extender

  • Architecture: Cisco Nexus 2300 platform fabric extender architecture that offloads data-path processing to the parent Nexus switch while relying on NX-OS for control and policy enforcement from the fabric.
  • Form factor: 1U appliance designed for rack mounting in data center rows, optimized for space efficiency and reliable operation in high-density environments.
  • Port density and connectivity: High-density access interfaces intended for server and storage connectivity with scalable uplink options to compatible Nexus switches; supports standard Ethernet speeds appropriate to data center requirements.
  • Management: Integrated into the Cisco Nexus family with central management through the parent switch, leveraging NX-OS, familiar CLI, and Cisco management tools for visibility, monitoring, and automation.
  • Compatibility and ecosystem: Designed to operate within Cisco Nexus and ACI ecosystems, enabling policy-driven automation, consistent security models, and cohesive fabric deployment across multi-site environments.

How to install Cisco Nexus 2348TQ-E Fabric Extender

  • Plan placement and cabling: Determine the optimal location in the data center for the FEX, close to the servers or storage resources it will serve, and plan uplink cabling to minimize latency and maximize cable hygiene.
  • Prepare the parent Nexus switch: Ensure the chosen parent Nexus switch supports fabric extender integration and NX-OS-based control of the FEX, updating firmware if necessary to match compatibility requirements.
  • Connect the FEX to the parent switch: Use the recommended uplink interfaces and cabling to connect the Fabric Extender to the parent switch, following Cisco’s guidelines for interconnectivity and port mapping to ensure proper policy distribution.
  • Power-on and initial verification: Power up the 2348TQ-E and verify that the fabric is recognized by the parent switch. Confirm that the FEX appears in the management console, and that the link state, health, and policy propagation are active.
  • Policy enrollment and validation: Apply the appropriate policies, security rules, and QoS settings from the parent switch, ensuring servers and storage connected through the FEX receive consistent treatment across the fabric. Validate traffic flow, latency, and failover behavior to confirm a ready-to-operate state.

Best skincare product ever
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This ampoule is THE BEST THING EVER. I’ve been in the skincare industry since 1996 and I’ve never used a product that works as well as this. I have sensitive oily skin and it has a lot of redness. After the first use the redness was completely gone and the hydration was noticeable. Do not pass on this stuff! Highly recommend it for anyone wanting immediate hydration. It’s thin and isn’t sticky or tacky. It feels like I don’t have anything on my face but the benefits are definitely noticeable.

Good product, but requires consistent use
Size: 1.85 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.85 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this centella ampoule for a while now, and overall I like it. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves the skin feeling hydrated and soothed. It’s especially nice for sensitive or irritated skin. However, one important thing to note is that the results are not immediate. In my experience, you start seeing improvements with consistent, long-term use rather than overnight. If you’re patient and use it daily, it can definitely help improve your skin’s appearance. Overall, it’s a good product, but it requires consistency to see full results.

Keeping this in my skincare regimen for the long-haul
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
No matter what skin type you are, you should have this in your lineup. I have larger pores - so sebaceous filaments & clogging. On top of the oiliness of my skin, I have more oily hair as well. But, I get dry patches like crazy. So it’s not easy to find products that meet all of my needs or are universal - it’s usually an “either or” situation. & I end up buying things for my drier days as well as products for my oily days instead of just one set of products. This is one that work well no matter what. There’s more than you’d expect based on the photos - the bottle is bigger. A little goes a long way. It’s very gentle. Great for barrier repair. Great for redness/irritation. A little goes a long way, but it can also be used more than once without being overwhelming. It’s great as a base for other serums/moisturizers, morning or night. It feels really good - clean & light (but not “light” as in ineffective, it still pulls its weight). Must have for anyone looking for trendy Korean glass-skin skincare - she’s one that will get you there without needing to invest in random “viral” products.

LOVEE (combo & oily skin) 🥹
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Pretty good! I loveee the applicator since it makes it really easy to apply. My skin has been super glowy ever since I’ve used this. Consistency is super thin and lightweight. My skin doesn’t exactly feel soft but looks really smooth. Despite it being this way, it hydrates super well!

My Go-To Toner After Trying Many Others
Scent: Unscented, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried many toners over the years, including higher-end brands, and this one continues to stand out for both performance and price. It does exactly what I need without unnecessary extras. The formula feels gentle and effective, and I really appreciate that it’s alcohol free and fragrance free. Those two things are especially important to me, and this has been the only toner I’ve felt comfortable using during pregnancy. It doesn’t irritate my skin and fits easily into my daily routine. Despite the affordable price, it performs just as well—if not better—than many more expensive options I’ve used in the past. My skin feels clean and refreshed after using it, without any tightness or residue. Overall, this is a reliable, no-nonsense toner that delivers great results at a very reasonable price. If you’re looking for a simple, fragrance-free option that works well without breaking the bank, this is an easy recommendation.
