Cisco® Catalyst® 9400 Series switches are Cisco’s lead modular enterprise access switching platform and as part of the Catalyst 9000 family, are built to transform your network to handle a hybrid world where the workplace is anywhere, endpoints could be anything, and applications are hosted all over the place. The Catalyst 9400 Series, including the new Catalyst 9400 SUP-2/2XL supervisor and line cards, continues to shape the future with continued innovation that helps you reimagine connections, reinforce security and redefine the experience for your hybrid workforce big and small. Advanced persistent security threats, the exponential growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices, mobility everywhere and cloud adoption require a network fabric that integrates advanced hardware and software innovations to automate, secure, and simplify customer networks. The goal of this network fabric is to enable customer revenue growth by accelerating business service rollout. The Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) with Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) is the most advanced network fabric to power customer business. Cisco DNA is an open and extensible, software-driven architecture that accelerates and simplifies your enterprise network operations. The programmable architecture frees your IT staff from time-consuming, repetitive network configuration tasks so they can focus instead on innovation that positively transforms your business.
Features:
- Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series switches offer a line of modules that support numerous speeds and physical media combinations. These line cards are functionally transparent; all the packet processing, queuing, buffering and Quality of Service (QoS) occur in the supervisor engine. To that end line cards acquire the features and capabilities of the installed supervisor engine. The architecture let you easily upgrade all Ethernet line cards on your Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series switches to newer switching
- Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series switches are a centralized architecture that is designed to provide dedicated wire- speed bandwidth to each line card slot within the chassis. Each line card has a dedicated bandwidth to the supervisor engine for packet processing. All network data that flows into Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series switches through the various line cards goes through the supervisor engine for processing, even in single-slot port-to- port communications.
- A modular, centralized design allows you to use your investment in high-performance line cards across the entire line of Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series switch chassis and supervisor engines. With the centralized architecture of Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series switches, all line cards deployed in a chassis benefit from the enhanced features that the supervisor engine provides, including QoS; Layer 2, 3, and 4 routing; and hardware- based IPv6.
- Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series switch line cards provide a variety of optical port types and port speeds, including QSFP28, QSFP+, SFP + and SFP.
