FAQs

Q: What is the C9600-SUP-1/2 and how does it differ from C9600-SUP-1?
A: The C9600-SUP-1/2 is the redundant version of the Supervisor 1 module, shipped as a pair for 1:1 active/standby redundancy with Stateful Switchover (SSO). The C9600-SUP-1 is sold as a single supervisor module. Both modules use identical hardware based on the UADP 3.0 ASIC.

Q: Which chassis models support the C9600-SUP-1/2?
A: The C9600-SUP-1/2 is designed for the Cisco Catalyst 9606R modular chassis. It occupies dedicated supervisor slots 3 and 4 and cannot be mixed with C9600X-SUP-2 modules in the same chassis.

Q: What is the maximum switching capacity with the Supervisor 1 module?
A: The C9600-SUP-1 delivers up to 9.6 Tbps system switching capacity with 2.4 Tbps per line card slot. The Catalyst 9606R chassis supports up to 25.6 Tbps when equipped with the newer C9600X-SUP-2 module.

Q: Does the C9600-SUP-1/2 support In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU)?
A: Yes, the redundant supervisor configuration supports ISSU, allowing software upgrades without service disruption. The module is also hot-swappable for easy maintenance and replacement.

Q: What advanced features does the UADP 3.0 ASIC enable?
A: The UADP 3.0 ASIC provides programmable pipeline architecture, flexible SDM templates for Layer 2/3 forwarding, ACL and QoS allocation, hardware-based MACsec encryption, Flexible NetFlow, IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack support, and advanced security features like TrustSec and Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA).
