C9400-SUP-1XL-Y Description

The C9400-SUP-1XL-Y is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Supervisor 1XL with 25G module for C9404R, C9407R and C9410R chassis in campus core and aggregation roles. The module adds up to 2 non-blocking 25GE uplinks to the 40GE QSFP and 10GE SFP+ options, with 1.44 Tbps of centralized wired capacity and 240, 120 or 80 Gbps per slot in a C9404R, C9407R or C9410R. MACsec is not supported in hardware on this supervisor, and neither are LRM optics.

In a campus core chassis, the supervisor connects upward over up to two non-blocking 25GE uplinks while its 40GE QSFP and 10GE SFP+ ports stay available for existing links.

Border And MPLS Boundaries

At a segmentation boundary, a chassis with this supervisor can terminate MPLS or act as a software-defined access border using the host-tracking database, cross-domain connectivity and VRF-aware LISP that the hardware supports.

IOS XE 17.7.1

C9400-SUP-1XL-Y adds a 25 GE uplink option over C9400-SUP-1XL but gives up hardware MACsec and LRM optics, while slot rate, 1.44 Tbps capacity, 144,000 IPv4 routes and nine supported line cards stay identical, so links that must be encrypted in hardware need C9400-SUP-1XL. Neither engine goes past 80 Gbps per slot in a C9410R. A chassis that needs faster slots, 100 GE uplinks or any of C9400-LC-48HX, C9400-LC-48XS, C9400-LC-24XY, C9400-LC-12QC and C9400-LC-48TX moves to C9400X-SUP-2, which holds 240 Gbps per slot on all three chassis, supports 14 line cards and 9.6 Tbps, and requires Cisco IOS XE 17.7.1.

Questions & Answers

  • Which PID is ordered for the second C9400-SUP-1XL-Y in a dual-supervisor chassis?

    The second supervisor is ordered as C9400-SUP-1XL-Y/2, which Cisco describes as the Redundant Supervisor 1XL-Y with 25G Module. The ordering guide defaults to a different supervisor, so C9400-SUP-1XL-Y must be selected explicitly for the primary slot. Each supervisor adds the 25G SFP28 uplink option from Cisco IOS XE 16.9.1.
  • Can C9400-SUP-1XL-Y run 2 x 25G and 8 x 10G uplinks at the same time?

    No. The uplink options of C9400-SUP-1XL-Y total at most 80G: 8 x 10G, 2 x 25G, 2 x 40G, or mixes such as 4 x 10G plus 1 x 40G. In a dual-supervisor chassis each supervisor offers only 4 x 10G, 1 x 25G or 1 x 40G. The 25G option needs Cisco IOS XE 16.9.1.
  • What VLAN, SVI and jumbo frame limits apply on C9400-SUP-1XL-Y?

    C9400-SUP-1XL-Y supports 4096 VLAN IDs, 1,000 switched virtual interfaces and 9216-byte jumbo frames. Cisco lists these limits in the supervisor datasheet. Use them as the ceilings when planning VLAN, SVI and jumbo frame use on a core chassis built on this supervisor.
  • How many security and QoS ACL entries and IGMP groups does C9400-SUP-1XL-Y hold?

    C9400-SUP-1XL-Y holds 18K security and QoS ACL entries in the default Supervisor 1 family allocation, 16K IGMP groups and 16K/8K multicast routes. Cisco's allocation splits the 18K ACL space between security and QoS entries, with 1000 each for SPAN and CoPP.
