The Cisco C9606R is a high-performance, 6-slot modular switch chassis belonging to the Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series, purpose-built for enterprise campus core, distribution, and data center aggregation layers. It serves as the resilient foundation for intent-based networking, supporting high-density 100G/400G deployments and future-proof scalability. The chassis features 2 dedicated supervisor slots (for redundancy) and 4 line card slots, designed to accommodate Cisco's latest Silicon One based modules.
High-Density Scalability: Supports up to 4 line cards, delivering a massive 25.6 Tbps switching capacity and enabling configurations of up to 192 x 10G/25G ports or 48 x 400G ports.
Unmatched Resiliency: Dual redundant supervisor engines support SSO (Stateful Switchover) and NSF (Non-Stop Forwarding) for hitless failover and zero packet loss during supervisor failover or software upgrades (ISSU).
Modular & Hot-Swappable: All components (supervisors, line cards, power supplies, fan trays) are fully hot-swappable, allowing for online replacement and maintenance without system downtime.
Flexible Power & Cooling: Supports up to 4 hot-swappable AC/DC/HVDC power supplies and a front/rear serviceable fan tray with side-to-side airflow for efficient cooling.
Future-Proof Architecture: Built to support Cisco Silicon One ASICs, providing programmable forwarding, advanced security, and automation capabilities.
TAA Compliance: Compliant with the Trade Agreements Act, making it suitable for US government and public sector deployments.
