C9400-SUP-1 Description
The C9400-SUP-1 is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Supervisor 1 engine for access-layer C9404R, C9407R and C9410R chassis. The engine feeds each line-card slot at 80 Gbps on all three chassis, carries up to 1.44 Tbps of centralized wired capacity and runs either eight 10G SFP+ or two 40G QSFP uplinks at once. The supervisor works with nine Catalyst 9400 line cards and needs Cisco IOS XE 16.6.1 in a C9407R or C9410R, or 16.9.1 in a C9404R.

Application Scenarios
In a building access layer, a C9407R or C9410R carries copper and fiber line cards for desktops, phones and access points, and the supervisor sends their traffic to distribution over 10G SFP+ or 40G QSFP uplinks.
Closets that cannot take an outage during maintenance run two supervisors as a 1+1 pair. NSF/SSO keeps forwarding through a switchover, and ISSU upgrades the software image with 200 msec or less of disruption.

C9400-SUP-1 and C9400-SUP-1XL share uplinks, line cards and 1.44 Tbps of capacity, but C9400-SUP-1 holds every line-card slot at 80 Gbps, while C9400-SUP-1XL gives 240 Gbps in a C9404R and 120 Gbps in a C9407R. In a C9410R both engines deliver 80 Gbps per slot, so slot bandwidth does not separate them there. A C9410R that needs more than 80 Gbps per slot moves to C9400X-SUP-2 at 240 Gbps per slot on every chassis, with 9.6 Tbps of capacity and 100/40G plus 25/10G uplinks. C9400X-SUP-2 also runs 14 line cards against nine, but it needs Cisco IOS XE 17.7.1.
Ordering Checklist
- Catalyst 9400 chassis hosts: The supervisor installs in C9404R slots 2 or 3, C9407R slots 3 or 4, or C9410R slots 5 or 6. Line cards are not supported in these supervisor slots.
