Overview

Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Switches are purpose-built for resiliency at scale and with comprehensive security that allows your business to grow at a low total operational cost. Built upon the foundation of the Catalyst 9000, the Catalyst 9600 Series offers scale and security when always-on is a must.
Twice as fast, twice the capacity: Meet your new campus core

Platform highlights

As one of the industry's first purpose-built 25/50 Gigabit SFP and 100/400 Gigabit QSFP line of modular switches targeted for the enterprise campus, Catalyst 9600 Series switches deliver exceptional table scale (MAC, IP route, and Access Control List [ACL]) and buffering for enterprise applications.

Models and specifications

A fully assembled Catalyst 9600 Series switch includes the chassis, at least one or two supervisor engines, at least one line card for network connectivity, a fan tray, and at least two power supplies.

Chassis

Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Switches offer one chassis option, two supervisor options, and multiple line-card options. The Catalyst 9606R chassis provides a common architecture that can scale up to 224 native 10-Gigabit, 25-Gigabit or 50-Gigabit SFP56 Ethernet ports (or up to 256 SFP with QSFP-4SFP breakout cables), and up to 128 native 40-Gigabit or 100-Gigabit QSFP28, or up to 8 native 400-Gigabit QSFP-DD Ethernet ports. The Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series redundant chassis offers High Availability (HA) by supporting 1 + 1 redundant supervisor engines with Stateful Switchover (SSO), Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF), and full-image In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU). NSF/SSO and ISSU help ensure continuous packet forwarding during supervisor engine switchover to enable HA for business-critical applications.

The Catalyst C9606R chassis is enterprise-campus optimized, with efficient side-to-side airflow and full front accessibility for all removable components, including supervisors, line cards, power supplies, and a fan tray. The chassis also supports optional rear accessibility for the fan tray to enable efficient cable management. The Catalyst 9606R chassis, supervisor, line cards, power supply, and fan tray have embedded RFID tags that facilitate easy asset and inventory management using commercial RFID readers.

Fan tray

Each Cisco Catalyst 9606R chassis uses a single field-replaceable fan tray (C9606-FAN) for cooling. The fan tray can optionally be accessed from the rear for flexible cable management. The chassis is optimized for enterprise-campus wiring closets and rack rooms, with side-to-side airflow. The fan tray is composed of nine independently controlled fans. If any single fan fails, the system will continue to operate without a significant degradation in cooling as fan speeds change dynamically to compensate for fan failure.

Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series fans have a barometric sensor, which allows slower fan speed curves at lower altitudes. The fans also have individual Pulse-Wide Modulation (PWM) fine-tuning to reduce variability in fan revolutions per minute (rpm) under throttled conditions. The measured acoustic noise in a formal NEBS test environment is 77.7 LWAd (dB). The chassis is designed to accommodate fanless operation of up to 90 seconds to enable serviceability.

Power supplies
The Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series power supply units (PSUs) support two modes of operation.
cisco 9600 (6).jpg

Figure 4. Cisco Catalyst C9606R 2000W AC and DC power supplies Combined mode

The default Catalyst 9606R chassis power supply mode is Combined. In Combined mode, the total power available for the entire chassis is equal to the sum of the output of all the power supplies, multiplied by the share ratio. Additional power supply units operate at ~90% capacity. In Combined mode, the power supplies need to be of equal wattage. The power supplies can be AC and DC mixed provided AC input voltage is 220V.

* P = Power output of one PSU
* N = Number of PSU (1, 2, 3, or 4)
* Total combined power = P + (N-1) * P * (share ratio)

Redundant N+1 Mode

The Catalyst 9606R chassis also supports N+1 redundancy mode, with N independent input circuits and safeguards against the failure of one (+1) of the circuits during a PSU failure. Additional PSUs operate at ~90% capacity. In redundant mode, the power supplies need to be of equal wattage. The power supplies can be AC and DC mixed provided AC input voltage is 220V.

* N = number of PSU are active (1, 2, or 3)
* +1 is the PSU reserved for redundancy
