Why are Cisco N2K-C2232PP-10GE so cheap?

32 ports at 10g speed. Why are they so cheap on eBay. Can you not configure them to do regular networking traffic?

oh, found the why in the “At a glance PDF” from Cisco.com

Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders
Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders behave logically like remote line cards for a
parent Cisco Nexus 5000 or 7000 Series Switch.

So they’re pretty much just extra ports that extend a bigger switch, no smarts on their own.

Got it thanks I don’t know how I missed that… Those are not cheap. Thank you again.
