Cisco C9610 Series Smart Switches offer a 10-slot chassis with two supervisor options and multiple line-card options, including support for current Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series line cards. The new Cisco C9610R chassis provides a common architecture that can scale up to 448 native 10-Gigabit, 25-Gigabit, or 50-Gigabit SFP56 Ethernet ports (or up to 512 SFP with QSFP-4SFP breakout cables), and up to 256 native 40-Gigabit or 100-Gigabit QSFP28 or up to 16 native 400-Gigabit QSFP-DD Ethernet ports.
The Cisco C9610 Series redundant chassis offers full 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 (ISSUs). NSF/SSO and ISSU help ensure continuous packet forwarding during supervisor engine switchover to enable HA for business-critical applications.
The Cisco C9610R chassis is enterprise-campus optimized, with efficient front to back airflow and front accessibility for most removable components, including supervisors, line cards, and power supplies. The chassis supports rear accessibility for the fan tray to enable efficient cable management. The Cisco C9610R chassis, supervisor, line cards, power supply, and fan tray have optional embedded RFID tags that facilitate easy asset and inventory management using commercial RFID readers.
