Description

The Cisco C9400-SUP-1XL is a next-generation supervisor engine module designed for enterprise core and aggregation deployments within the Catalyst 9400 modular switch chassis. It delivers up to 240 Gbps per slot in a 4-slot chassis, supporting flexible uplink configurations of either 8x 10G SFP+ or 2x 40G QSFP uplinks. Built on Cisco's programmable UADP 2.0 ASIC, it supports advanced routing, SD-Access, StackWise Virtual, and high availability with SSO/NSF for mission-critical campus networks.

Features

Advanced Layer 3 routing: Supports OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, MPLS, and VRF-lite for enterprise-class core and aggregation deployments
- SD-Access ready: Integrated support for Cisco Software-Defined Access with LISP, VXLAN, and TrustSec segmentation
- Cisco StackWise Virtual: Virtualizes two Catalyst 9400 chassis into a single logical switch for simplified management and increased resilience
- High Availability: SSO (Stateful Switchover), NSF (Nonstop Forwarding), and ISSU enable zero-downtime upgrades and failover
- Flexible NetFlow (FNF): Hardware-based flow visibility for traffic analysis, capacity planning, and security monitoring
- MACsec encryption: Line-rate 256-bit MACsec on all access ports (hardware MACsec not supported on supervisor uplinks)
- Cisco TrustSec: Policy-based segmentation with Security Group Tags (SGT) for zero-trust network access
- Programmable UADP 2.0 ASIC: Flexible SDM templates for optimized table allocation (routing, ACL, QoS, security)
- Container-based application hosting: On-box Python scripting and support for third-party containerized applications on optional SSD storage
- Open Cisco IOS XE: Model-driven programmability with YANG, NETCONF, RESTCONF, and gRPC for automation
- Uplink resiliency: Configurable uplink redundancy for EtherChannel and multi-chassis link aggregation
- IPv6 ready: Full wire-rate IPv6 forwarding and dual-stack support for modern networks

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between C9400-SUP-1XL and C9400-SUP-1XL-Y?
A: The C9400-SUP-1XL offers 8x 10G SFP+ or 2x 40G QSFP+ uplinks, while the C9400-SUP-1XL-Y adds support for 2x 25G uplinks and enables 90W UPOE+ capabilities when paired with compatible line cards. The -Y variant does not support hardware MACsec on supervisor ports.

Q: Can I mix different supervisor engines in a redundant configuration?
A: For optimal compatibility and feature parity, it is recommended to use matching supervisor engines in a redundant configuration. Mixing different supervisor models may limit certain features or performance capabilities.

Q: What licensing is required for the C9400-SUP-1XL?
A: The C9400-SUP-1XL requires a Cisco DNA license (Essentials, Advantage, or Premier tier) purchased separately to enable full software-defined access, automation, and security features. The hardware does not include a license.

Q: Does the C9400-SUP-1XL support StackWise Virtual?
A: Yes, the C9400-SUP-1XL supports Cisco StackWise Virtual technology, enabling two Catalyst 9400 chassis to operate as a single logical switch with combined management, control plane, and data plane for simplified operations and increased port density.

Q: What line cards are compatible with the C9400-SUP-1XL?
A: The C9400-SUP-1XL supports all Catalyst 9400 Series line cards including 48-port PoE+/UPOE, multigigabit, 10G SFP+, 25G SFP28, and 40G/100G QSFP modules. Compatibility is dependent on chassis model and IOS XE software version.
