Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switch Data Sheet

Product overview

Built for Security, IoT, Mobility, and Cloud

Cisco® Catalyst® 9400 Series switches are Cisco’s lead modular enterprise access switching platform and as part of the Catalyst 9000 family, are built to transform your network to handle a hybrid world where the workplace is anywhere, endpoints could be anything, and applications are hosted all over the place. The Catalyst 9400 Series, including the Catalyst 9400 SUP-2/2XL supervisor and line cards, continues to shape the future with continued innovation that helps you reimagine connections, reinforce security and redefine the experience for your hybrid workforce big and small.

Advanced persistent security threats, exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, mobility everywhere and cloud adoption require a network fabric that integrates advanced hardware and software innovations to automate, secure, and simplify customer networks. The goal of this network fabric is to enable customer revenue growth by accelerating business service rollout.

The Cisco Networking Cloud and Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) is the network fabric that powers business. Cisco Networking Cloud is an open and extensible, software-driven architecture that accelerates and simplifies your enterprise network operations. The programmable architecture frees your IT staff from time-consuming, repetitive network configuration tasks so they can focus instead on innovation that positively transforms your business. SD-Access enables policy-based automation from edge to cloud with foundational capabilities. These include:

●      Simplified device deployment

●      Unified management of wired and wireless networks

●      Network virtualization and segmentation

●      Group-based policies

●      Context-based analytics

The Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series switches are Cisco’s leading modular enterprise switching access, distribution and core platform built for security, IoT and cloud. These switches provide unparalleled investment protection with a chassis architecture that supports up to 9 Tbps of system bandwidth and unmatched power delivery with high density IEEE 802.3bt PoE (60W and 90W). Redundancy is now table stakes across the portfolio. The Catalyst 9400 delivers state-of-the-art High Availability (HA) with capabilities like Cisco StackWise® Virtual technology with In-Service-Software-Upgrade (ISSU), SSO/NSF, uplink resiliency, N+1/N+N redundancy for power supplies. The platform is enterprise optimized with an innovative dual-serviceable fan tray design, side to side airflow and is closet-friendly with ~16” depth. A single system can scale up to 384 access ports with your choice of 10G, 5G and 2.5G multigigabit copper, 1G copper, Cisco UPOE®+, Cisco UPOE and PoE+ options, up to 384 ports of 10G and 1G Fiber, up to 164 ports 25G SFP28 options. The availability of 1/10 G fiber ports facilitate aggregation of existing small form factor fixed access switches. The addition of the new SUP-2/2XL supervisors allows unique investment protection through 100G uplink connectivity option which is becoming a popular alternative to 40G in the core. The platform also supports advanced routing and infrastructure services, SD-Access capabilities, and network system virtualization. These features enable optional placement of the platform in the core and aggregation layers of small to medium-sized campus environments.

Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series chassis

The Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series offers three chassis options and a wide range of line card options (Table 1). It provides a common architecture that can scale up to 400 ports. Cisco StackWise Virtual technology doubles this port density by virtually stacking two Catalyst 9400 modular switches in a single logical switch.

The Catalyst 9400 Series chassis is enterprise optimized with efficient side-to-side airflow and full front accessibility for all removable components, including supervisors, line cards, power supplies and fan tray. The chassis also supports optional rear accessibility for fan trays to enable efficient cable management. Catalyst 9400 Series chassis, supervisor, line cards, power supplies and fan trays have embedded RFID tags which facilitate easy asset and inventory management using commercial RFID readers.

Power supply
There are three modes of operation supported by Cisco Catalyst 9400 power supplies. In all the modes the power supplies can be of type whether AC or DC.

Redundant N + N mode
The Cisco Catalyst 9400 Chassis also supports N + N redundancy with N independent input circuits and safeguards against failure of N (+N) of the circuits as opposed to power supply unit failure.

Redundant N + 1 mode
The Cisco Catalyst 9400 Chassis also supports N + 1 redundancy with N independent input circuits and safeguards against failure of one (+1) of the circuits as opposed to power supply unit failure.

Combined mode
In this mode the power available for the entire chassis is equal to the sum of the output power of both power supplies multiplied by the share ratio.

P = Power output of one power-supply unit.

Total combined mode power = P + (N-1)* P* (share ratio).

Fan trays

Each Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series uses dual serviceable fan trays for cooling. Cisco Catalyst 9400 switches can optionally be accessed from the rear for flexible cable management. The chassis is enterprise closet-optimized with side-to-side airflow. All fan trays are composed of multiple independently controlled fans with N+1 redundancy. If any single fan fails, the system will continue to operate without a degradation in cooling. Speeds of fans change dynamically to compensate for fan failure. Catalyst 9400 Series fans have a barometric sensor, which allows slower fan speed curves at lower altitudes. Catalyst 9400 Series fans also have individual fan Pulse-Wide Modulation (PWM) fine-tuning to reduce variability in fan Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) under throttled conditions. This allows for optimal acoustic performance at 60dB when the system is operating at 50% load.

Environmental conditions

The Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series require the following conditions:

●      Operating temperature

●      Normal operating* temperature and altitudes:

◦    23° to 113°F (-5 to +45°C), up to 6,000 feet (1800 m)

◦    23° to 104°F (-5 to +40°C), up to 10,000 feet (3000 m)

◦    *Minimum ambient temperature for cold startup is 0°C

●      Short-term** exceptional conditions:

◦    23° to 131°F (-5 to +55°C), up to 6,000 feet (1800 m)

◦    23° to 122°F (-5 to +50°C), up to 10,000 feet (3000 m)

◦    **Not more than following in one-year period: 96 consecutive hours, or 360 hours total, or 15 occurrences

●      Storage temperature: -40° to 158°F (-40° to 70°C)

●      Relative humidity: 10 to 95 percent, noncondensing

●      Operating altitude: -60 to 3000m
