CATALYST 9600 6-SLOT, 1XSUP2, 2XLC , 2X2KW AC, DNA-A LIC

Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Switches offer one chassis option, two supervisor options, and multiple line-card options. The Catalyst 9606R chassis provides a common architecture that can scale up to 224 native 10-Gigabit, 25-Gigabit or 50-Gigabit SFP56 Ethernet ports (or up to 256 SFP with QSFP-4SFP breakout cables), and up to 128 native 40-Gigabit or 100-Gigabit QSFP28, or up to 8 native 400-Gigabit QSFP-DD Ethernet ports. The Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series redundant chassis offers High Availability (HA) by supporting 1 + 1 redundant supervisor engines with Stateful Switchover (SSO), Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF), and full-image In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU). NSF/SSO and ISSU help ensure continuous packet forwarding during supervisor engine switchover to enable HA for business-critical applications.

The Catalyst C9606R chassis is enterprise-campus optimized, with efficient side-to-side airflow and full front accessibility for all removable components, including supervisors, line cards, power supplies, and a fan tray. The chassis also supports optional rear accessibility for the fan tray to enable efficient cable management. The Catalyst 9606R chassis, supervisor, line cards, power supply, and fan tray have embedded RFID tags that facilitate easy asset and inventory management using commercial RFID readers.
