240 Gbps/slot supervisor, 100G/25G

The Cisco Catalyst C9400-SUP-1XL-Y supervisor engine is a next-generation supervisor optimized for the enterprise-class core and aggregation layers, supporting up to 240 Gbps per slot with 25G uplinks. Supervisor Engine-1XL-Y allows for unique investment protection through a 25G uplink connectivity option, which is becoming a popular alternative to 10G in the core. The Cisco Catalyst C9400-SUP-1XL-Y supervisor engine hardware is capable of supporting advanced routing and infrastructure services such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS); software-defined access control and border capabilities (such as a host-tracking database, cross-domain connectivity, and VPN Routing and Forwarding [VRF]-aware Locator/ID Separation Protocol [LISP]); and flexible ASIC templates to create resources to optimize table sizes for different places in the network.
