 ● Granular visibility: Model-driven telemetry provides a mechanism to stream data from a switch to a
destination. The data to be streamed is driven through subscription of a data set in a YANG model. The
subscribed data set is streamed to the destination at a configured interval. Additionally, open Cisco IOS
XE enables the push model, which provides near real-time monitoring of the network leading to quick
detection and rectification of failure situations.
Security
● Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA)1: ETA is a unique capability for identifying malware in encrypted traffic
from the access layer. Since more and more traffic is becoming encrypted, the visibility this feature
affords for threat detection is critical for keeping your networks secure at different layers. Additionally,
ETA is able detect vulnerable implementations in encrypted traffic.
● Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)-256 MACsec encryption2: AES is the IEEE 802.1AE standard for
authenticating and encrypting packets between switches and endpoints. Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series
switches are hardware capable 256-bit and 128-bit AES on all ports at all speeds providing the most
secure link encryption.
● Advanced Layer 3 Encryption: 100G IPsec in hardware: With the new 3.0sec UADP ASIC, the Catalyst
9400X comes with 100G line rate IPsec to provide secure transport over Layer 3 networks.
● Trustworthy solutions: Cisco Trust Anchor Technologies provide a highly secure foundation for Cisco
products. With Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series switches, Trust Anchor Technologies enable hardware and
software authenticity assurance for supply chain trust and strong mitigation against man-in-the-middle
compromise of software and firmware. Trust Anchor capabilities include:

◦ Image signing: Cryptographically signed images provide assurance that the firmware, BIOS, and
other software are authentic and unmodified. As the system boots, the system’s software signatures
are checked for integrity.

◦ Secure Boot: Secure Boot anchors the boot sequence chain of trust to immutable hardware,
mitigating threats against a system’s foundational state and the software that is to be loaded,
regardless of a user’s privilege level. It provides layered protection against the persistence of illicitly
modified firmware.

◦ Cisco Trust Anchor module: This tamper-resistant, strong-cryptographic, single-chip solution

provides hardware authenticity assurance to uniquely identify the product so that its origin can be
confirmed to Cisco, providing assurance that the product is genuine.

Resiliency and high availability

Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series switches are designed for excellent nonstop communications with noninterrupted
hardware switching. With Cisco IOS XE Software, you can continue to reap the benefit of this best-in-class
resiliency in various ways.

● Cross-Stack EtherChannel provides the ability to configure Cisco EtherChannel technology across
different members of the stack for high resiliency.
● IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) provides rapid spanning tree convergence
independent of spanning tree timers and also offers the benefit of Layer 2 load balancing and distributed
processing.
● Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree Plus (PVRST+) allows rapid spanning tree (IEEE 802.1w) reconvergence
on a per-VLAN spanning tree basis, providing simpler configuration than MSTP. In both MSTP and
PVRST+ modes, stacked units behave as a single spanning tree node.
● Flexlink+: Flexlink+ allows the setting up of active and backup interfaces or port channels, which can
provide Layer 2 failover redundancy without the use of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
● Switch port autorecovery (“err-disable” recovery) automatically attempts to reactivate a link that is
disabled because of a network error.
● NSF/SSO offers continuous packet forwarding during supervisor-engine switchover. Information is fully
synchronized between supervisor engines to allow the standby supervisor engine to immediately take
over in subsecond time if the primary engine fails.
● NSF/SSO dramatically improves the network reliability and availability in a Layer 2 or Layer 3
environment. NSF/SSO is essential for business-critical applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP). These
features help ensure that VoIP calls are not dropped.
● ISSU allows you to upgrade or downgrade complete Cisco IOS Software images with minimal (less than
200 msec) to no disruption to the network when using a redundant Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series system
with dual supervisor engines. Facilitating rapid, non-disruptive software upgrades for new line cards,
new power supplies, new features, or bug fixes, ISSU offers continuous packet forwarding during the
supervisor-engine switchover running different Cisco IOS Software releases.
● In addition to redundant power supplies and fans, the Cisco Catalyst C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R
chassis models support 1+1 supervisor-engine redundancy, using the Supervisor Engine. The primary
supervisor engine is active and is responsible for normal system operation. The secondary supervisor
engine serves as a standby, monitoring the operation of the primary supervisor engine. The resiliency
features of the Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series prevent network outages that could result in lost business and
revenue.
● Apart from the features previously mentioned, the C9400-SUP-1/1XL/1XL-Y, C9400-SUP2/2XL
supervisor engine has resiliency built into its uplinks. Cisco Catalyst 9400 Supervisor Engine Modules

Power supply

There are three modes of operation supported by Cisco Catalyst 9400 power supplies. In all the modes the
power supplies can be of type whether AC or DC.

Platinum Power Supply (C9400-PWR-3200ACT, IOS XE Release 17.13.1).

Redundant N + N mode

The Cisco Catalyst 9400 Chassis also supports N + N redundancy with N independent input circuits and
safeguards against failure of N (+N) of the circuits as opposed to power supply unit failure.
Redundant N + 1 mode

The Cisco Catalyst 9400 Chassis also supports N + 1 redundancy with N independent input circuits and
safeguards against failure of one (+1) of the circuits as opposed to power supply unit failure.
Combined mode

In this mode the power available for the entire chassis is equal to the sum of the output power of both power
supplies multiplied by the share ratio.

P = Power output of one power-supply unit.

Total combined mode power = P + (N-1)* P* (share ratio).

Fan trays
Each Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series uses dual serviceable fan trays for cooling. Cisco Catalyst 9400 switches can
optionally be accessed from the rear for flexible cable management. The chassis is enterprise closet- optimized
with side-to-side airflow. All fan trays are composed of multiple independently controlled fans with N+1
redundancy. If any single fan fails, the system will continue to operate without a degradation in cooling. Speeds
of fans change dynamically to compensate for fan failure. Catalyst 9400 Series fans have a barometric sensor,

© 2024 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Page 17 of 26

which allows slower fan speed curves at lower altitudes. Catalyst 9400 Series fans also have individual fan
Pulse-Wide Modulation (PWM) fine-tuning to reduce variability in fan Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) under
throttled conditions. This allows for optimal acoustic performance at 60dB when the system is operating at 50%
load.
