C9400X-SUP-2XL Description
The C9400X-SUP-2XL is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Supervisor 2XL module for campus core and aggregation chassis that need 100G uplinks. The module delivers 480 Gbps to every line-card slot, up to 9.6 Tbps of centralized wired capacity and a 3 Bpps forwarding rate, with up to four 100/40G and four 25/10G uplinks. The module needs Cisco IOS XE 17.7.1 and runs in a C9404R, C9407R or C9410R, where it supports 14 line cards.

Application Scenarios
In a campus core chassis, the supervisor carries 100G uplinks toward the data center or a service provider handoff, where 40G would otherwise be the ceiling.
A chassis populated with C9400-LC-48XS, C9400-LC-24XY or C9400-LC-12QC cards relies on the 480 Gbps slot rate to run those cards without oversubscription.

C9400X-SUP-2XL doubles the slot rate of C9400X-SUP-2 to 480 Gbps on all three chassis against 240 Gbps, and nothing else in the comparison table separates them: ASIC, 9.6 Tbps capacity, 3 Bpps forwarding, memory, route scale and 14 supported line cards are identical. A chassis whose line cards cannot fill 240 Gbps per slot is better served by C9400X-SUP-2. C9400-SUP-1XL is a generation behind, with 1.44 Tbps capacity, 144,000 IPv4 routes and nine supported line cards, and it reaches 240 Gbps per slot only in a C9404R before falling to 80 Gbps in a C9410R, so a C9410R design that needs full-rate slots belongs on C9400X-SUP-2XL.
Ordering Checklist
- Catalyst 9400 chassis: Seat C9400X-SUP-2XL in the supervisor slots of C9404R (slots 2 or 3), C9407R (slots 3 or 4) and C9410R (slots 5 or 6). Slots are fixed per chassis, and line cards are not supported in them.
- Catalyst 9400 line cards: All 14 line cards seat with this engine: C9400-LC-48U, C9400-LC-48T, C9400-LC-48UX, C9400-LC-24XS, C9400-LC-48P, C9400-LC-24S, C9400-LC-48S, C9400-LC-48H and C9400-LC-48HN, plus C9400-LC-48HX, C9400-LC-48XS, C9400-LC-24XY, C9400-LC-12QC and C9400-LC-48TX. An engine from the C9400-SUP-1 class supports only the first nine.
