C9400-LC-24XY Description

C9400-LC-24XY, also known as Cisco Catalyst 9400 24-Port 25G SFP28 line card, enables ultra-high-speed fiber aggregation for Catalyst 9400 modular switches. This line card supports 20 ports of 25GbE SFP28 and 4 ports of 10GbE SFP+, with all ports capable of auto-negotiating down to 10GbE or 1GbE SFP for maximum flexibility. Designed for next-generation enterprise, data center, and service provider environments, the C9400-LC-24XY SFP28 card delivers up to 480Gbps line-rate throughput per slot with C9400X-SUP-2XL supervisors. The card features robust MACsec-256 security, jumbo frame support, and hot-swap capability, making it the ideal 25G/10G fiber module for bandwidth-intensive aggregation and high-performance core deployments. It is an essential component for organizations looking to future-proof their network with scalable, flexible fiber connectivity.

On the C9400-LC-24XY line card:

  • The figure illustrates four distinct port groups.
  • In each port group:
    • 4 ports support 25 Gbps connectivity.
    • 1 port supports 10 Gbps connectivity.
    • The total bandwidth per group is up to 120 Gbps.
    • As a result, one port per group remains unused to stay within the bandwidth limit.

Questions & Answers

  • What troubleshooting steps apply if the 24XY fiber ports aren’t recognized?

    Check if SFP/SFP28/QSFP28 modules are installed properly, confirm module compatibility, and use 'show interface' to check for admin down.
  • Which QSFP28/SFP+/SFP adapters ship with the 24XY?

    Accessory kit includes port dust covers, module ejectors, and may include short fiber patch cables.
  • How is the 24XY mixed-speed card different from the 24XS?

    The 24XY supports both 10G SFP+ and 25G SFP28/QSFP28 in the same module for flexible deployments, while 24XS is 10G-only.
  • Is there a pure-25 G SFP28 replacement for the 24XY?

    The C9400-LC-24XS offers 10G-only, for pure 25G deployments, select appropriate SFP28 modules in the 24XY.
  • What spine-leaf topologies leverage the 24XY module?

    The 24XY is well suited for spine-leaf topologies in data centers needing mixed 10/25G access and 40/100G uplinks.
  • Which LEDs indicate dropped packets on the 24XY port groups?

    Amber port LEDs signal errors or congestion; consult the hardware guide for detailed patterns.
  • How do I hot-swap a 24XY without halting traffic?

    With OIR support, pull the old module, insert new, and check 'show module' for status.
  • Which optic types (25G/10G/1G) are certified on the 24XY?

    Official Cisco SFP+/SFP28/QSFP28 optics (SR, LR, ER) are validated for the 24XY line card.
  • How can I configure fallback speeds on each 24XY port group?

    In IOS XE, set 'speed nonegotiate' or specify speed under interface configuration.
  • Can I migrate a 24XY to a 24S card in the field?

    Yes, as long as both modules are compatible with your chassis and IOS version.
  • Which accessory kit is provided with the 24XY only?

    Module dust covers, rack-mount brackets, screws, and installation guide.
  • How do I clear VLAN assignments on the 24XY?

    Use 'no vlan [id]' or 'default interface' to clear configuration.
  • What routine firmware updates benefit the 24XY?

    Always run the latest recommended IOS XE for bug fixes and new feature support.
  • Does the 24XY support 25 G MACsec line rate?

    Yes, 25G MACsec is supported on 24XY ports with proper software licensing.
  • Which CLI commands show 24XY port-group stats?

    'show interfaces counters' and 'show interfaces transceiver detail' provide port and optics metrics.
