FAQs

Q: What supervisor engines are compatible with the C9606R chassis?
A: The C9606R supports the C9600-SUP-1 (with UADP 3.0 ASIC) and the C9600X-SUP-2 (with Cisco Silicon One Q200 ASIC). Both provide redundant supervisor capability for high availability deployments.

Q: How many line cards can be installed in the C9606R?
A: The C9606R chassis has 4 line card slots and 2 dedicated supervisor engine slots (slots 3 and 4), allowing up to 4 line cards plus dual redundant supervisors for maximum scalability and resilience.

Q: What is the maximum port density achievable with the C9606R?
A: Depending on line cards installed, the C9606R can scale up to 224 native 10G/25G/50G SFP56 ports, up to 128 native 40G/100G QSFP28 ports, or up to 8 native 400G QSFP-DD ports, making it ideal for high-density campus cores.

Q: Does the C9606R support hot-swappable components?
A: Yes, the C9606R features full hot-swappable design for supervisor engines, line cards, power supplies, and the fan tray, enabling maintenance and upgrades without network downtime.

Q: What redundancy modes are available for power supplies?
A: The C9606R supports combined mode and N+1 redundancy mode. In N+1 mode, additional PSUs safeguard against single PSU failure. AC and DC PSUs can be mixed if AC input voltage is 220V, and equal wattage PSUs are required in redundant mode.
