Before configuring your Cisco 9364D-GX2A switch, review the following considerations.

Support for NVIDIA CX6-DX Ethernet ports

If connecting a switch port to an ONTAP controller using NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Dx (CX6-DX) NIC port (part number X50130B), you must hard-code the switch port speed.

(cs1)# configure
(cs1)(config)# interface Ethernet1/16/?
(cs1)(config-if)# speed 100000
(cs1)(config-if)# no negotiate auto
(cs1)(config-if)# exit
(cs1)(config)# exit
(cs1)# copy running-config startup-config

See the Hardware Universe for more information on switch ports. See What additional information do I need to install my equipment that is not in HWU? for more information about switch installation requirements.
