C9400X-SUP-2 is Cisco's Catalyst 9400 Series Supervisor Engine 2 for modular campus switching, distinguished by 240 Gbps per-slot bandwidth across the C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R chassis. It is an Uplink-class supervisor engine in a Cisco proprietary supervisor slot, installed in slots 2 or 3 on C9404R, slots 3 or 4 on C9407R, and slots 5 or 6 on C9410R. The module presents chassis control, centralized forwarding resources, and high-speed front-panel uplinks for Catalyst 9400 line-card systems rather than operating as a standalone switch. Its physical interface is the chassis-specific supervisor connector used by the Catalyst 9400 backplane, so fit is limited to named Cisco 9400 hosts and matching supervisor bays. That binding matters when a spare is ordered for a mixed chassis estate before a maintenance window is scheduled. C9400X-SUP-2XL is the closest speed-tier sibling, with 480 Gbps per slot as the differentiating spec.
100GbE connectivity is presented through four 40/100G QSFP-family uplink positions, while four additional SFP-family positions support 10GbE or 25GbE operation according to the selected uplink mode. 3 Bpps forwarding for IPv4 and IPv6 supports dense access designs with routed VLANs, multicast, telemetry, and policy enforcement in hardware. UADP 3.0sec ASIC resources handle Layer 2, Layer 3, ACL, QoS, and forwarding table allocation for different campus roles. C9400X-SUP-2 carries 16 GB DRAM, 20 GB flash, and 960 GB SSD capacity for IOS XE operation and application-hosting storage. The supervisor supports 128,000 MAC addresses, 4096 VLAN IDs, 1000 switched virtual interfaces, 108 MB packet buffer, and IEEE 802.3 Ethernet operation across the chassis design. Flexible NetFlow capacity reaches 384,000 IPv4 entries and 192,000 IPv6 entries for visibility at access scale. Jumbo frame support is 9216 bytes for traffic requiring larger Ethernet payloads.
C9400X-SUP-2 installs in the dedicated supervisor bay of a Catalyst 9400 chassis, with a matched second supervisor used when the design requires 1+1 redundancy; mixed supervisor types are not supported in redundant mode. Supervisor modules support hot swapping through Online Insertion and Removal, with required wait times after installation, removal, and chassis power events. IOS XE 17.7.1 or later is required on supported chassis, and optic selection should follow the active uplink combination configured for single or dual supervisor operation. ORM Systems supplies this module new and certified refurbished, with contact and connector inspection, firmware-state checks, and functional testing in compatible Catalyst 9400 hardware. Request a quote for single replacements, matched redundant pairs, or volume supervisor refreshes across repeated access chassis builds where slot consistency, validated optics, and change-window timing are planned together. Bulk projects align spare modules with existing line-card and optics inventories across sites.

C9400X-SUP-2 occupies the supervisor slot in a Catalyst 9400 access chassis and coordinates forwarding, management, and uplink operation for the installed line cards. Engineers pair it with copper, fiber, multigigabit, PoE, UPOE, or UPOE+ line cards according to endpoint demand, then run IOS XE 17.7.1 or later to support the supervisor. The module provides 240 Gbps per slot across C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R chassis. The access block gains predictable per-slot bandwidth and a single control point for dense endpoint switching.
The supervisor terminates northbound connectivity from a Catalyst 9400 access chassis into distribution or core switching. Network teams configure the C9400X-SUP-2 uplink mode around 4x 40/100G QSFP-family ports or mixed 10/25G and 40/100G options, then select QSFP28 optics for 100G handoff where the fiber plant supports it. Line cards keep endpoint traffic local to the chassis while the supervisor presents aggregated uplinks upstream. This layout preserves line-card investment during uplink migration. The topology gains higher-speed access egress without replacing the modular chassis.
A matched pair of C9400X-SUP-2 modules operates in the Catalyst 9400 supervisor slots for high-availability access designs. The active supervisor runs chassis forwarding and management, while the standby supervisor monitors the active unit with the same hardware type installed. Engineers keep supervisor models matched because Cisco does not support mixed supervisor types in redundant mode. Dual-supervisor uplink planning follows Cisco active-port combinations for 10/25G and 40/100G ports. The chassis gains supervisor redundancy with controlled uplink behavior during access-layer maintenance workflows.

Cisco C9400X-SUP-2 is a Catalyst 9400 Series Supervisor Engine 2 module for modular campus switching chassis. It provides the control plane, forwarding resources, and high-speed uplink options for supported Catalyst 9400 deployments. Cisco positions this supervisor for enterprise access layer designs that need 240 Gbps per slot and 100G uplink connectivity.
C9400X-SUP-2 identifies a Catalyst 9400X generation supervisor engine, with SUP indicating the supervisor module role and 2 identifying Supervisor Engine 2. The X generation separates it from earlier C9400-SUP-1, C9400-SUP-1XL, and C9400-SUP-1XL-Y supervisors by adding UADP 3.0sec architecture and 100G uplink support in campus switching refreshes.
C9400X-SUP-2 is a supervisor engine module, not a complete standalone switch. It installs into a Cisco Catalyst 9400 chassis and works with compatible line cards, power supplies, fan trays, IOS XE software, and optics. The finished switch system is built from the chassis plus supervisor, line cards, power, and licensing.
C9400X-SUP-2 sits above the first-generation Supervisor 1 options and below C9400X-SUP-2XL in per-slot bandwidth. Cisco describes it as optimized for enterprise access layers, while C9400X-SUP-2XL targets core and aggregation. It brings 100G uplinks and 240 Gbps per slot across C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R chassis without moving to the 2XL option.
C9400X-SUP-2 provides 240 Gbps per slot in Cisco Catalyst C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R chassis. That consistent per-slot capacity is an important distinction from earlier Supervisor 1XL models, where available bandwidth varies by chassis. It helps access designs use higher-speed line cards with predictable backplane planning.
C9400X-SUP-2 supports up to four 40G or 100G uplink ports and up to four 10G or 25G uplink ports, depending on the supervisor configuration. The 100G uplink ports use QSFP28 transceivers, while 40G operation uses QSFP transceivers. Cisco documents different active-port combinations for single and dual supervisor deployments.
PoE is delivered by compatible Catalyst 9400 line cards and power supplies, not directly by the C9400X-SUP-2 supervisor engine. The supervisor provides the chassis control and forwarding resources used by line cards such as C9400-LC-48P, C9400-LC-48U, C9400-LC-48H, C9400-LC-48HN, and C9400-LC-48HX in supported system builds where power supplies support the required PoE budget.
C9400X-SUP-2 supports up to 128,000 MAC addresses, up to 256,000 IPv4 routes, up to 256,000 IPv6 routes, 4096 VLAN IDs, and 1000 switched virtual interfaces, subject to Cisco template notes. These scale figures fit campus access designs that need large endpoint tables, routed access, segmentation, and telemetry at chassis scale.
C9400X-SUP-2 runs Cisco IOS XE and supports management through standard Catalyst 9000 operational tools, including CLI, WebUI, SNMP MIBs, NETCONF, RESTCONF, gNMI, model-driven telemetry, and Cisco licensing workflows. Cisco lists IOS XE 17.7.1 as the minimum software release for this supervisor on C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R chassis.
C9400X-SUP-2 supports redundant supervisor operation when installed as a matched pair in supported Catalyst 9400 chassis supervisor slots. Cisco states that mixed supervisor types are not supported, so high availability designs should use the same supervisor model on both sides. Dual-supervisor mode changes the active uplink combinations available on each module.
C9400X-SUP-2 is used to run a Catalyst 9400 modular access chassis where high endpoint density, chassis resiliency, and faster uplinks are required. It supplies the supervisor, forwarding, and uplink role while line cards connect copper, fiber, multigigabit, UPOE, or UPOE+ endpoints across the access layer.
C9400X-SUP-2 suits medium to large campus access environments built around modular Catalyst 9400 chassis. The 240 Gbps per-slot capacity, 100G uplink options, and support for multiple high-density line cards make it practical for wiring closets, large access blocks, and aggregation of many endpoint VLANs into distribution or core switches.
A Catalyst 9400 chassis with C9400X-SUP-2 fits wired access, routed access, high-density PoE endpoint aggregation, multigigabit wireless access backhaul, fiber access, and telemetry-heavy campus operations. The supervisor supports 3 Bpps forwarding for IPv4 and IPv6, 108 MB packet buffer, and Flexible NetFlow entries for network visibility.
C9400X-SUP-2 works well for access-layer designs moving from 10G or 40G uplinks toward 100G uplinks. It provides 40G or 100G QSFP-family uplink positions and 10G or 25G SFP-family positions, giving engineers a supervisor platform that aligns with staged distribution and core uplink refresh plans while retaining modular line-card flexibility.
C9400X-SUP-2 is supported on Cisco Catalyst C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R chassis. Cisco documents supervisor slot assignments by chassis: slots 2 or 3 on C9404R, slots 3 or 4 on C9407R, and slots 5 or 6 on C9410R. Redundant deployments use the matching supervisor slot pair.
C9400X-SUP-2 supports many Catalyst 9400 line cards, including C9400-LC-48U, C9400-LC-48T, C9400-LC-48UX, C9400-LC-24XS, C9400-LC-48P, C9400-LC-24S, C9400-LC-48S, C9400-LC-48H, and newer high-speed cards such as C9400-LC-48HX, C9400-LC-48XS, C9400-LC-24XY, and C9400-LC-12QC with the required IOS XE release. These cards cover copper, PoE, fiber, multigigabit, 25G, 40G, and 100G roles.
C9400X-SUP-2 uses SFP+ transceivers for 10G, SFP28 transceivers for 25G, QSFP transceivers for 40G, and QSFP28 transceivers for 100G uplink operation. Optic selection should follow Cisco transceiver compatibility tables for the exact IOS XE release, reach, fiber type, and port mode used in the Catalyst 9400 design.
C9400X-SUP-2 integrates with Cisco IOS XE management workflows, Cisco Smart Licensing, SNMP monitoring, model-driven telemetry, NETCONF, RESTCONF, and gNMI-based automation. It also fits Cisco Catalyst Center operated environments where Catalyst 9000 switching platforms are managed for software images, assurance, templates, inventory, and campus policy operations.
C9400X-SUP-2 provides 240 Gbps per slot and is positioned by Cisco for enterprise access layers. C9400X-SUP-2XL provides 480 Gbps per slot and is positioned for core and aggregation. Both use the newer Catalyst 9400X supervisor generation, support 100G uplinks, and run from IOS XE 17.7.1 or later on supported chassis.
C9400X-SUP-2 provides 240 Gbps per slot across C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R chassis, while C9400-SUP-1XL provides 240 Gbps only in C9404R, 120 Gbps in C9407R, and 80 Gbps in C9410R. C9400X-SUP-2 also adds 100G uplink support and the UADP 3.0sec supervisor architecture in larger chassis builds.
C9400X-SUP-2 is the better fit when access designs require 100G supervisor uplinks and 240 Gbps per slot on all Catalyst 9400 chassis sizes. C9400-SUP-1XL-Y targets 25G uplink designs and reaches lower per-slot bandwidth on C9407R and C9410R. Both supervisors support Catalyst 9400 modular switching, but their uplink strategies differ.
C9400X-SUP-2 is a higher-performance upgrade path for access deployments that have outgrown C9400-SUP-1 bandwidth and uplink options. C9400-SUP-1 provides 80 Gbps per slot and 10G or 40G uplinks, while C9400X-SUP-2 provides 240 Gbps per slot and 100G uplink capability in supported Catalyst 9400 chassis for access refresh projects.
Cisco C9400X-SUP-2 pricing should be quoted against condition, quantity, optics, licensing, warranty term, and delivery requirement. Supervisor engine pricing often changes between new, refurbished, and bulk orders. ORM Systems can prepare a product-specific quote for C9400X-SUP-2 with the correct Catalyst 9400 chassis context and any required accessories.
C9400X-SUP-2 is typically sourced through new and refurbished enterprise networking channels, subject to current supply. Buyers should confirm condition, serial-number policy, warranty coverage, lead time, and included accessories before purchase. For refurbished units, testing status and cosmetic grading matter because this module controls the chassis forwarding and management plane.
Cisco C9400X-SUP-2 should be checked against current Cisco lifecycle notices before procurement because lifecycle status changes over time. The supervisor appears in current Cisco Catalyst 9400 documentation and supports IOS XE 17.7.1 or later, but formal end-of-sale and end-of-support decisions should be verified at the time of order.
C9400X-SUP-2 lead time depends on available channel stock, order quantity, testing requirements, and destination. New units, refurbished units, and paired supervisor requirements can carry different dispatch timelines. Buyers planning a Catalyst 9400 refresh should confirm the supervisor, compatible optics, chassis software level, and any matching secondary supervisor before scheduling maintenance windows.
Bulk pricing is relevant for C9400X-SUP-2 when multiple chassis are being refreshed or when matched supervisor pairs are required for high availability. Quantity, condition, warranty term, and accessory requirements affect the final commercial offer. ORM Systems can quote volume requirements across supervisors, compatible optics, line cards, and related Catalyst 9400 spares.
C9400X-SUP-2 orders from ORM Systems should include warranty coverage aligned to the supplied condition and commercial quote. New and refurbished hardware can carry different warranty terms, so buyers should verify the exact coverage period and return process on the order. Supervisor modules should be protected because failure affects chassis control, uplinks, and operations.
A refurbished C9400X-SUP-2 should be functionally tested before dispatch for boot behavior, supervisor recognition, port status, console access, memory and flash visibility, and hardware health indicators. Testing should also confirm the correct module identity and suitability for Catalyst 9400 chassis use, reducing the risk of receiving a mismatched or non-operational spare.
C9400X-SUP-2 deployments inherit Catalyst 9400 platform compliance and standards support documented by Cisco, including Ethernet standards, VLAN, spanning tree, LACP, 802.1X, SNMP, RMON, and RoHS 5 environmental compliance. Safety and emissions certifications apply at the Catalyst 9400 platform level, so procurement teams should retain Cisco documentation for audit files.
C9400X-SUP-2 installation requires a supported Catalyst 9400 chassis, the correct supervisor slot, compatible IOS XE software, matching supervisor type for redundant designs, supported line cards, suitable power and cooling, and approved optics for uplinks. Engineers should plan console access, configuration backup, maintenance window timing, and post-install verification before moving production traffic.
C9400X-SUP-2 operates within the Catalyst 9400 software licensing model. Cisco documentation states that add-on licenses are ordered for Catalyst 9400 switches and managed through Cisco Smart Accounts and Cisco Smart Software Manager. The correct Network Essentials, Network Advantage, or DNA subscription requirement should be matched to the chassis role and feature set.
C9400X-SUP-2 projects should plan the matching Catalyst 9400 chassis, any second supervisor for redundancy, supported line cards, QSFP28 or QSFP optics for 100G or 40G uplinks, SFP28 or SFP+ optics for 25G or 10G uplinks, console access, licensing, and compatible power supplies. Optics and software release alignment are especially important.
UK buyers can purchase Cisco C9400X-SUP-2 through ORM Systems for Catalyst 9400 supervisor refreshes, spare holding, and chassis upgrade projects. The quote should identify condition, quantity, warranty term, optics, software assumptions, and delivery location. This avoids ordering a supervisor without the matching chassis, uplink modules, or redundancy requirements needed for deployment.
ORM Systems supports international procurement requests for Cisco C9400X-SUP-2, subject to destination, export requirements, courier options, stock position, and order terms. International buyers should confirm lead time, warranty handling, customs paperwork, and whether optics or additional Catalyst 9400 components are included with the shipment before approving the order.
