Description

The Cisco C9610-LC-40YL4CD is a high-density line card designed for the C9610R modular switch chassis, ideal for medium to high port-density campus core and distribution deployments. It features 40 multi-rate SFP56 ports supporting 50/25/10GbE for downstream connectivity, plus two QSFP56 ports for 200/100/40GbE and two QSFP-DD ports for 400GbE uplinks. With 6.4 Tbps full-duplex bandwidth per slot and non-blocking architecture when paired with C9610 Supervisor 3/3XL modules, this line card delivers exceptional performance and scalability for enterprise networks.

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between C9610-LC-40YL4CD and C9600-LC-40YL4CD?
A: The C9610-LC-40YL4CD is specifically designed for the C9610R chassis with optimized airflow and layout, while the C9600-LC-40YL4CD is designed for the Catalyst 9600 chassis and requires the C9610-LC-ADPT adapter to operate in a C9610R chassis.

Q: Can I mix this line card with other C9600 series line cards in the same C9610R chassis?
A: Yes, you can mix C9610-LC-40YL4CD with C9600-LC and C9600X-LC line cards in the same C9610R chassis, but the C9600 series line cards require the C9610-LC-ADPT adapter for proper installation and airflow management.

Q: What transceivers are compatible with this line card?
A: The SFP56 ports support SFP, SFP+, and SFP56 transceivers for 10/25/50GbE. QSFP56 ports support QSFP+ and QSFP28 optics for 40/100/200GbE, and QSFP-DD ports support QSFP-DD transceivers for 400GbE. Refer to the Cisco optics compatibility matrix for specific supported modules.

Q: What is the maximum number of ports I can achieve in a single C9610R chassis?
A: With 8 line card slots and using C9610-LC-40YL4CD modules, you can achieve up to 320 SFP56 ports (50/25/10GbE), 16 QSFP56 ports (200/100/40GbE), and 16 QSFP-DD ports (400GbE) in a fully populated C9610R chassis.

Q: Does this line card require any special licensing?
A: The line card itself does not require additional licensing beyond the standard Cisco DNA or Catalyst software subscription required for the C9610 chassis. Advanced features may require Network Advantage or higher license tiers.
