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

Campus Core Chassis

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.

Aggregation With Redundant Supervisors

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.

IOS XE 17.7.1

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.

Questions & Answers

  • How many MAC addresses and routes does C9400-SUP-1XL support?

    C9400-SUP-1XL supports up to 64,000 MAC addresses, 144,000 IPv4 routes and 56,000 IPv6 routes. The IPv4 and MAC figures depend on the SDM template in use. Cisco lists these figures in the Catalyst 9400 supervisor datasheet.
  • What default ACL, IGMP and NetFlow allocation does C9400-SUP-1XL use?

    C9400-SUP-1XL uses the Supervisor 1 family default allocation of 18K security and QoS ACL entries, 16K IGMP groups and 128K NetFlow entries per ASIC. The Core template changes the split between MAC and multicast space. Check the active template before sizing ACL-heavy access policies.
  • How much uplink bandwidth does a dual-supervisor chassis with C9400-SUP-1XL provide?

    A chassis with two C9400-SUP-1XL engines offers at most 80G of total uplink bandwidth. Each supervisor then provides only 4 x 10G or 1 x 40G. Both supervisors must be the same model for SSO. Plan the uplink count for the pair, since one engine alone can use 8 x 10G.
  • Is C9400-SUP-1XL the default supervisor in a Catalyst 9400 order?

    Yes. The ordering guide makes the supervisor choice mandatory and defaults to C9400-SUP-1XL, which gives up to 240G per slot in a C9404R and ships with StackWise Virtual by default. The engine ships with a 240 GB SSD that can be changed. A second supervisor is optional, and both supervisors must be the same model for SSO.
  • Does C9400-SUP-1XL support StackWise Virtual and SD-Access border roles?

    Yes. Cisco states that C9400-SUP-1XL supports MPLS, SD-Access border capability, flexible ASIC templates and StackWise Virtual. The Access, Core, SD-Access and NAT templates are available from Cisco IOS XE 16.9. The Core template trades MAC capacity for 32K Layer 3 multicast routes.
