C9400-SUP-1XL Description
The C9400-SUP-1XL is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Supervisor 1XL module for C9404R, C9407R and C9410R chassis in campus core and aggregation roles. The module offers up to 8 x 10GE SFP+ or 2 x 40GE QSFP uplinks and 16 GB DRAM, and its per-slot switching capacity is 240 Gbps in a C9404R, 120 Gbps in a C9407R and 80 Gbps in a C9410R. The supervisor slots do not accept line cards, and a redundant pair must use the same supervisor type.

Application Scenarios
In a C9404R core chassis, the supervisor delivers 240 Gbps per line-card slot and uplinks the chassis to the rest of the campus over 10GE SFP+ or 40GE QSFP links.
A C9407R or C9410R aggregation switch can run two C9400-SUP-1XL modules in its supervisor slots as a 1+1 pair, with NSF/SSO keeping traffic forwarding through a switchover.

C9400-SUP-1XL is the core and aggregation supervisor, while C9400-SUP-1 is the access supervisor: C9400-SUP-1XL gives 240 Gbps per slot on C9404R and 120 Gbps on C9407R, where C9400-SUP-1 stays at 80 Gbps on all three chassis. On C9410R both deliver 80 Gbps per slot, so a C9410R that needs more moves to C9400X-SUP-2 at 240 Gbps per slot, which uses UADP 3.0sec, offers 10/25G and 40/100G uplink ports, needs Cisco IOS XE 17.7.1 and supports five line cards that C9400-SUP-1XL does not. Designs that need 25G uplinks on the same class order C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, which adds 25G uplink modes but has no hardware MACsec.
Ordering Checklist
- Chassis hosts: Seat the supervisor in C9404R slots 2 or 3, C9407R slots 3 or 4, or C9410R slots 5 or 6. It installs only in these Catalyst 9400 chassis and slots; line cards use the remaining slots.
