Description

Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Redundant Supervisor 1 Module

The Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Redundant Supervisor 1 Module is engineered for modern enterprises that demand unmatched network reliability, scalable performance, and rock-solid security. Designed to coexist with the Cisco Catalyst 9600 family, this module delivers mission-critical control plane capabilities with automatic failover, enabling non-stop operations even in the most demanding data center and campus deployments. Built on Cisco IOS XE and a robust hardware platform, the Redundant Supervisor 1 Module provides a resilient backbone for large-scale Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks, ensuring fast convergence, simplified management, and the ability to scale as your business grows. Whether you’re running complex multicloud access, dense virtualization, or high-traffic campus networks, this module helps you optimize uptime, reduce maintenance windows, and accelerate service delivery while maintaining top-tier security and visibility.

  • High-availability design: The Redundant Supervisor 1 Module is purpose-built for continuous operation, delivering hot-swappable redundancy that minimizes downtime. In the event of a supervisor failover, traffic forwarding and control plane functions continue with little or no impact, helping you meet strict service-level objectives.
  • Non-disruptive failover and in-service switchover: Enjoy seamless switchover between primary and standby supervisors without interrupting active flows. This capability is essential for 24/7 environments, reducing maintenance windows and enabling ongoing optimization of the network without downtime.
  • Scalable control plane for large-scale deployments: As networks grow, the Redundant Supervisor 1 Module scales with your Catalyst 9600 chassis, supporting extensive routing tables, sophisticated policy enforcement, and advanced services without sacrificing performance or responsiveness.
  • Secure, observable operations: Built-in security features and enhanced observability help you enforce policies, monitor status, and quickly detect anomalies. Integrated with Cisco's security portfolio, it supports threat intelligence, segmentation, and policy-driven access to protect critical data flows.
  • Optimized for modern data centers and campuses: This module is designed to handle data-intensive workloads, virtualization, and multi-cloud integration. It pairs with high-speed uplinks, advanced QoS, and traffic engineering to ensure predictable performance for voice, video, and data applications.

Technicial Details of Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Redundant Supervisor 1 Module

  • Networking capabilities: Supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 features with scalable routing, advanced policy enforcement, and integration with software-defined networking tools for centralized control and automation.
  • Performance and scalability: Engineered to handle large routing tables, dense ACLs, and high-throughput environments while preserving low latency and fast convergence in converged data centers and campus networks.
  • Security and visibility: Includes built-in security features and telemetry support for enhanced monitoring, policy enforcement, and integration with Cisco security solutions to safeguard network perimeters and internal segments.

how to install Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Redundant Supervisor 1 Module

  • Prepare the chassis and prerequisites: Verify that your Catalyst 9600 chassis supports a redundant supervisor pair and confirm software compatibility. Ensure you have the correct Supervisor 1 Module part number and a compatible license if required for advanced features.
  • Plan the switchover window: Although the module is designed for non-disruptive operation, schedule a maintenance window if you are performing a first-time installation or a significant software upgrade. Notify affected teams and stakeholders to minimize impact.
  • Install the module: With precautions for electrostatic discharge (ESD), insert the Redundant Supervisor 1 Module into the designated supervisor slot. Align connectors, firmly seat the module, and secure the carrier to ensure reliable operation.
  • Establish redundancy: Connect the standby supervisor in the configured redundant pair. Power up and allow the system to recognize both supervisors, enabling ISS. Monitor console output for initialization messages indicating successful synchronization.
  • Verify and validate: Use show commands to verify redundancy status, software versions, and feature readiness (for example, show redundancy state and show version). Confirm that the primary and standby supervisors are healthy and that failover is functioning as intended.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Redundant Supervisor 1 Module? It is a hot-swappable, redundant control-plane module for the Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series chassis, designed to provide continuous operation, fast failover, and centralized management for large-scale enterprise networks.
  • Why would I need a redundant supervisor? Redundant supervisors reduce the risk of network downtime due to control-plane failures, enabling non-disruptive maintenance, faster recovery, and higher overall availability for mission-critical networks.
  • Is the installation disruptive to existing traffic? The module is designed for non-disruptive operation. With proper procedures for hot-swappable insertion and ISS, traffic can continue while the new supervisor comes online and synchronizes.
  • What environments is it best suited for? Enterprise data centers, large campus networks, and multicloud edge deployments that require high reliability, scalable performance, and strong security controls.
  • What management features accompany the module? It supports Cisco IOS XE-based management, telemetry, policy enforcement, and integration with Cisco security and analytics tools to provide visibility, governance, and control across the network.
