Description

The Catalyst 9600 6-slot chassis is an 8RU modular switch built for enterprise campus core and aggregation, and for high-density 10/25/40/50/100/400GE deployments that need supervisor redundancy and high availability.

The chassis provides 6 slots, split into 4 line-card slots and 2 supervisor slots (slots 3 and 4). It supports up to 25.6 Tbps of wired switching capacity, with up to 6.4 Tbps per slot using the C9600X-SUP-2 supervisor or 2.4 Tbps per slot using the C9600-SUP-1. Line cards scale to 224 x 10/25/50GE SFP56, 128 x 40/100GE QSFP28 or 8 x 400GE QSFP-DD ports. Four power-supply bays accept 3000W AC, 2000W AC or 2000W DC modules, and a single fan tray with 9 redundant fans provides side-to-side airflow.

Software is licensed on the supervisor and line cards rather than the chassis itself, using Smart Licensing through a Smart Account. Compatible parts include the C9600-LC-48S and C9600-LC-48TX line cards, the C9606-FAN fan tray and the C9600-PWR-3KWAC, C9600-PWR-2KWAC and C9600-PWR-2KWDC power supplies.

FAQs

Q: Does the chassis need a software licence?
A: The chassis itself carries no software tier. Software is licensed on the supervisor and line cards using Smart Licensing through a Smart Account.

Q: Which supervisor engines does it support?
A: The chassis supports the C9600-SUP-1 and C9600X-SUP-2 supervisor engines. The C9600X-SUP-2 delivers up to 6.4 Tbps per slot, compared with 2.4 Tbps per slot for the C9600-SUP-1.

Q: How many power supplies does it need?
A: A minimum of 2 power supplies is required, and a fully loaded chassis running on 110V needs at least 3. The 4 bays accept C9600-PWR-3KWAC, C9600-PWR-2KWAC or C9600-PWR-2KWDC modules.

Q: Can I mix AC and DC power supplies?
A: PSUs must be of equal wattage within a power mode. AC and DC supplies can be mixed only if the AC input is 220V.

Q: Which slots do the supervisors go in?
A: The two supervisor engines go in the dedicated supervisor slots, slots 3 and 4. The remaining four slots take line cards such as the C9600-LC-48S and C9600-LC-48TX.
