Cisco C9600 Switches

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.

C9606R Modular core for resilience at scale, plus comprehensive security. 25.6 Tbps switching capacity, 6.4 Tbps per slot supporting 400G to 10G multigigabit.
