Models and specifications

A fully assembled Cisco C9610 Series Smart Switch includes the chassis, at least one supervisor engine, at least one line card for network connectivity, four fan trays, and at least four power supplies.

Chassis

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.

Fan tray

Each Cisco C9610R chassis uses field-replaceable fan trays (C9610-FAN) for cooling. The fan trays are accessed from the rear only for flexible cable management. The chassis is optimized for enterprise campus wiring closets and rack rooms with front-to-back 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 C9610 Series Smart Switches 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 network equipment-building system (NEBS) test environment is 77.7 LWAd (dB). The C9610R chassis is designed to accommodate single fan tray replacement operation of up to 180 seconds to enable serviceability. 

Power supplies

The Cisco C9610 Series Smart Switches and Catalyst 9600 Series share the same power supply units (PSUs) and support two modes of operation.

Combined mode

The default Cisco C9610R 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 as long as the AC input is 220V.

• P = Power output of one PSU
• N = Number of PSUs (1 to 8)
• Total combined power = P + (N-1) * P * (share ratio)

Redundant N+1 mode

The Cisco C9610R 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 as long as the AC input is 220V.

• N = number of PSUs are active (1 to 7) 
• +1 is the PSU reserved for redundancy

Redundant N+N mode

The Cisco C9610R chassis also supports N+N redundancy mode, with N independent input circuits and safeguards against the failure of any one or more of the active PSUs. 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 is 220V.

• N = number of PSUs are active (1 to 4)
• +N are the PSUs reserved for redundancy (1 to 4)

Note: 3KW power supplies operate at 22V are required for system to operate with N+N redundancy.

Power consumption

Power consumption depends on the unique per-device hardware configuration—specifically, the supervisor engine and line cards installed and the power supplies. To model the power consumption for a specific hardware configuration, visit the Cisco Power Calculator.

Supervisor engines

Cisco C9610 Series Smart Switches offer two industry-leading supervisor engines built for secure networks, IoT applications, next-generation mobility, and cloud adoption.

Supervisor engine comparison

The Cisco C9610 Series Supervisor Engine 1 (with Cisco UADP 3.0) and Supervisor Engine 2 (with Cisco S1 Q200) are intended to be complementary products, with each model offering unique capabilities to meet specific networking needs. Each model plays a crucial and distinctive role in our portfolio. While both products may coexist in the same network, they operate in complementary roles.

Cisco C9610 Series Smart Switches have flexible interface types and port densities that allow you to mix and match network configurations to meet the specific needs of campus networks. See the following table for more information. 

Supervisor engine specifications

The following table lists the physical specifications of Cisco C9610 Supervisor Engine 3 and Supervisor Engine 3XL.

Supervisor ASIC templates

Cisco C9610 Series Smart Switches use flexible software database manager (SDM) ASIC templates to enable universal deployments by leveraging the ASIC’s ability to flexibly allocate resources to optimize table sizes for different places in the network.

Based on how the switch is used in the network, an appropriate standard SDM ASIC template may be configured for specific features. The Cisco C9610 Series Smart Switch Supervisor Engine supports eDM ASIC templates:

• Standard SDM templates: These are predefined (static) templates based on the primary requirements for specific places in the network. 

  • This includes the “default” SDM template, which is available without configuration. The default SDM template for Cisco C9610 is the “core” template

SDM templates

The following sections describe the flexible ASIC SDM templates for C9610-SUP-3/XL.

Management

Unified management

Cisco C9610 Series Smart Switches with IOS XE come with a streamlined management onboarding experience. Based on the user’s management preference they have the below management options to choose from.

Cloud management

With the release of Cisco IOS XE 17.15, users have the ability to natively manage devices from the cloud via the Meraki dashboard. Through a guided onboarding workflow, users can choose from two operating modes based on their specific requirements and preferences.

1. Cloud operating mode: This operating mode offers the full cloud management experience. In cloud operating mode, configurations are managed via the Meraki user interface and delivered entirely from the cloud. This capability also offers a read-only Cloud CLI terminal to view the entire running-configuration or perform advanced troubleshooting using IOS XE show commands.
2. Hybrid operating mode: In hybrid mode, users can onboard their device to the cloud to access central monitoring and troubleshooting tools, as well as a Cloud CLI terminal to execute read/write commands. Configurations are managed via local console, SSH, or CLI and remain local to the device.

¹ Cloud and Hybrid mode capability will be available in a future release
