Product overview
Cisco Catalyst C9400-LC-24XS= Cisco Catalyst 9400 late modular chassis high-density 10-Gigabit fiber line card designed to provide non-blocking performance at the core and distribution layers at the campuses. Having twenty-four SFP+ ports, with a wide compatibility environment of Cisco 10G optics- it provides flexibility in connecting the uplinks to the aggregation, server connections, and high speed inter switch connections without compromising on the resiliency or manageability.
It is a line card designed to be used in the architectural Catalyst 9400, and can be easily integrated into your existing fabric and supervisors to provide advanced Layer 2/Layer 3 services, segmentation, and policy frameworks as utilized in current enterprise networks. Security features anchored on hardware, telemetry, APIs that are automation-ready can enable you to scale with confidence and visibility and control.
Key features
-
High-speed aggregation and fiber uplinks 24 x 10G SFP+ ports.
-
Support of dual rates on select 1G SFP optics (port/optic dependent)
-
Hardware-based QoS throughput Non-blocking and deep buffers in bursty traffic.
-
Rich L2/L3 services: VLANs, routing, multicast, and policy services were in line with the Catalyst 9400.
-
Hardware border security such as ACLs and MACsec (license/optic dependant)
-
Consistency in operations with model-driven telemetry, programmability and automation capabilities.
-
Spare designation (=) denotes line card only, which is the ideal application in expansion or field replacement.
