Description

The Cisco C9610-LC-32CD is a high-density line card engineered for campus core and edge deployments requiring substantial 100G connectivity. It delivers 30 ports of 100G/40G via QSFP28 and 2 ports of 400G/200G/100G via QSFP-DD uplinks, with 6.4 Tbps full-duplex bandwidth per slot. Designed for the C9610R modular chassis with optimized airflow and direct compatibility with Supervisor 3 and 3XL modules, it supports advanced features including StackWise Virtual, IOS XE programmability, and unified cloud management.

FAQs

Q: What chassis is the C9610-LC-32CD compatible with?
A: The C9610-LC-32CD is designed specifically for the Cisco C9610R 10-slot modular chassis and requires either the C9610-SUP-3 or C9610-SUP-3XL Supervisor Engine. It can be installed in slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, or 10. Unlike C9600X series line cards, it does not require an adapter for installation.

Q: How does this line card differ from the C9600X-LC-32CD?
A: The C9610-LC-32CD is a newer version specifically optimized for the C9610R chassis with superior airflow, improved layout, and native compatibility. It delivers the same port configuration (30x 100G/40G QSFP28 + 2x 400G QSFP-DD) but requires no adapter, whereas the C9600X-LC-32CD requires the C9610-LC-ADPT adapter when used in a C9610R chassis.

Q: Can I use 400G ports for StackWise Virtual links?
A: Yes, the two QSFP-DD ports (ports 27 and 31) support 400G StackWise Virtual and DAD links. However, you must first enable StackWise Virtual mode, then use the hw-module command to enable 400G operation on these specific ports before configuring them as SVL links.

Q: What is the maximum 100G port density I can achieve with this line card?
A: With up to 8 line card slots in the C9610R chassis, you can achieve up to 240 ports of 100G (30 ports × 8 cards) plus 16 additional 400G uplink ports, providing massive scalability for high-density campus core deployments.

Q: What licensing model does this line card require?
A: The C9610-LC-32CD operates under the Cisco Networking Subscription unified licensing model, which includes software features, hardware support, and unified product support. The licensing is applied at the supervisor level and covers all installed line cards in the chassis.
