Description

The Catalyst 9600 C9606R is a 6-slot modular chassis bundle for campus core, collapsed-core and distribution or aggregation roles. It suits sites that need modular scalability, high availability and SD-Access or BGP EVPN VXLAN fabric roles, with dense 1GE SFP fibre downlinks.

This configuration pairs one C9600-SUP-1 supervisor engine with one C9600-LC-48S line card, giving 48 ports of 100M/1GE SFP. The chassis has 4 line card slots and 2 supervisor slots in 8 RU. The Supervisor 1 delivers up to 9.6 Tbps of system capacity (4.8 Tbps full-duplex) and 3 Bpps forwarding, with 16 GB DRAM and 16 GB flash. Three C9600-PWR-2KWAC 2000W AC power supplies are fitted from the four available bays, and the chassis runs nine fans in a single tray.

The bundle includes a Cisco DNA Advantage software subscription on top of the Network Advantage tier, adding advanced assurance, analytics, policy-based automation and segmentation. The C9600-LC-48S line card requires the Supervisor 1 and runs on IOS XE 17.2.1 or later.
