Product Details

Cisco C9400 Supervisor Engine Modules provides these highlights:

• The Cisco Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) 2.0 ASIC is ready for next-generation technologies with its programmable pipeline, microengine capabilities, and template-based configurable allocation of Layer 2, Layer 3, forwarding, Access Control List (ACL), and Quality of Service (QoS) entries

• Intel 2.4-GHz x86 with up to 960 GB of SATA SSD local storage for container-based application hosting

• Up to 1.44 Tbps wired switching capacity (IPv4) with 900 Mpps of throughput

• Up to two nonblocking 25 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks on the C9400-SUP-1XL-Y supervisor engine

• Up to two nonblocking 40 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable [QSFP]) and up to eight nonblocking 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks (SFP+)

• SFP support on uplinks to offer flexibility for up to eight Gigabit Ethernet ports

• 384 ports of nonblocking 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports

• 392 ports of nonblocking 1 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber (SFP) ports

• 200 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports (eight uplinks plus 192 line card ports)

• Cisco UPOE®+ (90 W) capabilities on 263 ports simultaneously

• Cisco UPOE (60W)/PoE+ (30W) capabilities on 384 ports simultaneously

• Line rate hardware-based Flexible NetFlow (FNF) delivering flow collection up to 384,000 flows

• IPv6 support in hardware, providing wire rate forwarding for IPv6 networks

• Dual-stack support for IPv4 and IPv6 and dynamic hardware forwarding table allocations for ease of IPv4-to-IPv6 migration

• Support for both static and dynamic NAT and Port Address Translation (PAT)

• Scalable routing (IPv4, IPv6, and multicast) tables and Layer 2 tables

• Open Cisco IOS XE: This modern operating system for the enterprise provides support for model-driven programmability, on-box Python scripting, streaming telemetry, container-based application hosting and patching for critical bug fixes. The OS also has built-in defenses to protect against runtime attacks

• SD-Access: Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches form the foundation building block for SD-Access – Cisco’s leading enterprise architecture, which includes:

– Policy-based automation from edge to cloud

– Segmentation and micro-segmentation made easy, with having predictable performance and scalability

– Automation through Cisco DNA Center™

– Policy through the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)

– Network assurance through Network Data Platform

– The ability to launch new business services faster and improve issue resolution time significantly

• Plug and Play (PnP) enabled: A simple, secure, unified, and integrated offering eases new branch or campus device rollouts and can also be used for providing updates to an existing network

• Advanced security

– Cisco Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA): You benefit from the power of machine learning to identify and take actions toward threats or anomalies in your network, including malware detection in encrypted traffic (without decryption) and distributed anomaly detection

– AES-256¹ support with the powerful MACsec-256 encryption algorithm is available in hardware

– Trustworthy systems: Secure Unique Device Identification (SUDI) support for PnP tamper-proof device identity capability secures zero-touch provisioning by allowing your device to show a certificate to the server to be able to get onto your network

¹ MACsec is currently not supported in hardware in the C9400-SUP-1XL-Y supervisor engine
