Cisco C9600-SUP-1 - Supervisor Engine Module

The Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Switches are engineered for unparalleled resiliency and security, making them ideal for businesses that demand high performance and growth with minimal operational costs. Building on the robust foundation of the Catalyst 9000, the Catalyst 9600 Series offers exceptional scalability and security, ensuring your network remains always on.

Catalyst C9600-SUP-1 Overview:

• Advanced ASIC Technology: The Cisco Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is designed for next-generation core technologies, featuring a programmable pipeline, micro-engine capabilities, and template-based customizable allocation of Layer 2, Layer 3, forwarding, ACL, and Quality-of-Service (QoS) entries. This future-ready technology ensures your network is equipped for evolving demands.
• Double-Width Hardware Tables: The Catalyst 9600 SUP-1 is the first ASIC to support double-width hardware tables, offering equivalent table size and processing performance for both IPv4 and IPv6, ensuring robust and efficient data handling.
• Powerful CPU: Equipped with a 2.0-GHz Intel x86 CPU featuring 8 cores, the Catalyst 9600 ensures high-speed processing and reliability.
• Ample Storage: With up to 960 GB of SATA SSD local storage, it supports container-based application hosting, providing the flexibility and capacity needed for modern network demands.
• Extensive Buffering: The switch includes up to 108 MB of buffer (36 MB of unified buffer per ASIC), ensuring smooth and efficient data flow even under heavy network loads.
• Flexible NetFlow: Line-rate, hardware-based Flexible NetFlow (FNF) supports flow collection for up to 294,000 flows, enabling comprehensive network traffic analysis and monitoring.
• Comprehensive IPv6 Support: With hardware-level support for IPv6, the Catalyst 9600 delivers wire-rate forwarding for IPv6 networks, facilitating seamless integration and migration.
• Dual-Stack Support: The switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6 with dynamic hardware forwarding table allocations, simplifying the transition from IPv4 to IPv6.
• Versatile Routing and QoS: The Catalyst 9600 offers flexible routing (IPv4, IPv6, and multicast) tables, Layer 2 tables, ACL tables, and QoS tables, ensuring comprehensive and customizable network management.

The Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series is designed to meet the demanding needs of modern networks, providing unmatched resiliency, security, and scalability to support your business growth.
