C9300X-NM-8M Network module compatible with Meraki C9300X?
Looking on the C9300X-M datasheet site on the Meraki website, it lists the optional accessories at the bottom of the page. The Cisco page lists more items, in particular the C9300X-NM-8M, which isn't listed on the Meraki page, is every module on the Cisco page also compatible with the Meraki firmware?

I'm asking as it'll be plugging into an MX85 and ideally wanted to stick with 10GbE rather than SFP+ or SFP28 and optical cabling.
If not, i'll ask the Meraki support to clarify.
Solved! Go to solution.

Meraki support have replied back with the below so will be using ports 23/24 as the uplink ports to the primary and warm spare MX85 devices, saves some expense on our part anyway.

As of now, the 'C9300X-NM-8M' does not officially support on C9300X-M switch
As stated in the following document, only the 'C9300X-NM-2C-M' and 'C9300X-NM-8Y-M' are currently supported.

I noticed that the 10GBaseT SFP is not listed as supported either.
I am slightly confused - the MX85 has no 10Gbe ports, so why can't you use a plain Gigabit copper port?

The plan was to get the 1GbE/10GbE module and use that as an uplink to a 1GbE port on the MX device. An alternative is to not use a module at all and just use port 24 on the switch to a port on the MX device but it uses a port that might be required in the future.

I'd buy the 8 port SFP+ module and a GLC-TE transceiver in that case, or just use port 24...

Yes I also found it strange that the multigig modules did not get a -M variant.
