Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Supervisor Engine 1 and line cards
- The UADP 3.0 Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is future-ready for next-generation technologies, with a programmable pipeline, microengine capabilities, and template-based configurable allocation of Layer 2, Layer 3, forwarding, ACL, and Quality-of-Service (QoS) entries.
- It is the first ASIC to support double-width HW tables. This provides equivalent table size and processing performance for IPv4 and IPv6.
- The Supervisor Engine 1, with a 2.0-GHz Intel® x86 CPU with 8 cores, provides up to 960 GB of SATA SSD local storage for container-based application hosting.
- Console supports mini USB and RJ-45 connectivity.
- Supports 2 x USB 3.0 ports.
- Management port supports RJ-45 (1 GE) and SFP+ (10 GE).
- Up to 108 MB of buffer (36 MB of unified buffer per ASIC).
- Line-rate, hardware-based Flexible NetFlow (FNF) delivers flow collection for up to 294,000 flows.
- IPv6 support in hardware provides wire-rate forwarding for IPv6 networks.
- Dual-stack support for IPv4 and IPv6 and dynamic hardware forwarding table allocations enable IPv4-to-IPv6 migration.
- Flexible routing (IPv4, IPv6, and multicast) tables, Layer 2 tables, ACL tables, and QoS tables.
Cisco IOS XE
- This modern operating system for the enterprise provides support for model-driven programmability, on-box Python scripting, streaming telemetry, container-based application hosting, and patching for critical bug fixes. Cisco IOS® XE also has built-in defenses to protect against runtime attacks.
- Plug and Play enabled: A simple, secure, unified, and integrated offering eases new branch or campus device rollouts and can also be used to provide updates to an existing network.
- Advanced security
- Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA): This technology uses the power of machine learning to identify and take action toward threats or anomalies in your network. It includes malware detection in encrypted traffic and distributed anomaly detection.
- Advanced Encryption Standard 256 (AES-256) support with the powerful MACsec-256 encryption algorithm is available in hardware.
- Trustworthy systems: Secure Unique Device Identification (SUDI) support for Plug and Play (PnP) tamper-proof device identity capability secures zero-touch provisioning by allowing your device to show a certificate to the server to be able to get on your network.
- SD-Access is Cisco's leading enterprise architecture. It includes:
- Policy-based automation from edge to cloud
- Supervisor Engine offers enhanced dependability with maximum productivity
- With 1000Base-T technology, get up to 1000Mbps data transfer rate over twisted pair cable
- Up to 10x faster than standard Ethernet connection and provides high-performance
- Optical fiber cable compatible - Spans afar and provides speedy data transmission rates between servers and network components
- Plug-in Module form factor allows hassle-free and easy usage with increased efficiency
- Supervisor Engine with data networking application/usage for reliability and maximum efficiency
