C9400X-SUP-2XL is the higher-scale Cisco Catalyst 9400X Supervisor Engine 2XL for Catalyst 9400 modular switches, distinguished from C9400X-SUP-2 by 480 Gbps per line-card slot rather than 240 Gbps. It installs only in Cisco Catalyst 9400 supervisor slots on C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R chassis, with slot placement determined by the chassis: slots 2 or 3 on C9404R, slots 3 or 4 on C9407R, and slots 5 or 6 on C9410R. Those chassis provide two, five, or eight line-card slots respectively, so the same supervisor family scales across branch, distribution, and larger campus builds. The module class is Uplink because the supervisor also supplies integrated high-speed uplink capacity through four QSFP28/QSFP cages and four SFP28/SFP+/SFP cages. Its proprietary chassis interface, 16 GB DRAM, 20 GB flash, 960 GB SSD capacity, and 108 MB packet buffer make compatibility checking a supervisor-slot decision, not a generic network-card match.
100GbE, 40GbE, 25GbE, 10GbE, and 1GbE uplink rates are supported across the documented pluggable families: QSFP28 for 100GE, QSFP for 40GE, SFP28 for 25GE, SFP+ for 10GE, and SFP for 1GE. Ethernet switching services run on Cisco IOS XE with IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding, MPLS, VRF-aware LISP for SD-Access border roles, QoS, ACL resources, Flexible NetFlow, NSF/SSO, ISSU, and StackWise Virtual support in the Catalyst 9400 platform. C9400X-SUP-2XL uses the Cisco UADP 3.0sec ASIC generation with up to 9.6 Tbps centralized wired capacity and 3 Bpps IPv4/IPv6 forwarding. 9216-byte jumbo frames, 1000 SVIs, and 128,000 MAC addresses are documented for the same Supervisor 2XL performance table. M.2 SATA storage attaches to the supervisor board for application hosting. Maximum supervisor power is 600W in active or standby state, while Cisco notes typical draw at about 40% to 75% of that planning value.
C9400X-SUP-2XL seats into the supervisor bay with ejector levers and captive screws; Cisco documents hot swapping and Online Insertion and Removal with required wait times after install or removal. Host software must match the chassis and line-card mix, with IOS XE 17.7.1 listed as the minimum release for the core supported Catalyst 9400 line-card set and later releases required for newer 10G, 25G, or 100G cards. Status LED checks and the show module command confirm that the system acknowledges the supervisor and reports OK status before handover. ESD handling and antistatic storage protect the connector during staging and shipment. ORM Systems supplies this module new and certified refurbished, with refurb checks focused on connector-pin inspection, boot verification, uplink-port recognition, and functional testing in a compatible Catalyst 9400 chassis.

C9400X-SUP-2XL sits in a Catalyst 9400 chassis at the campus core and aggregates distribution traffic through four 100G QSFP28 uplinks or 40G QSFP alternatives. Engineers place routed uplinks, SVIs, ACL resources, QoS policy, and Flexible NetFlow collection on the supervisor-driven chassis while line cards terminate downstream fiber or multigigabit access blocks. The 480 Gbps per-slot fabric keeps C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R line-card slots aligned to the core bandwidth plan. The network gains a modular aggregation point with predictable high-speed northbound capacity.
A pair of C9400X-SUP-2XL modules operates as active and standby supervisors in a Catalyst 9400 distribution chassis. Network teams configure NSF/SSO, ISSU planning, resilient uplinks, and redundant power around the dual-supervisor design while access switches connect through routed links or multichassis EtherChannel where StackWise Virtual is deployed. The supervisor pair anchors IOS XE management, Smart Licensing, and chassis inventory for installed line cards and optics. The distribution layer gains controlled maintenance behavior and fewer forwarding interruptions during planned supervisor events.
C9400X-SUP-2XL occupies the supervisor slot when an existing Catalyst 9400 access chassis receives newer multigigabit, UPOE+, 25G, or 100G-capable line-card designs. Engineers validate IOS XE release levels, supervisor slot placement, optics, power budgets, and line-card compatibility before moving endpoint VLANs and routed access interfaces onto the refreshed chassis. The 4x 25G SFP28 and 4x 100G QSFP28 uplink plan separates access-layer growth from chassis replacement. The access block gains higher uplink density and preserves the standard modular Catalyst 9400 operational model.

C9400X-SUP-2XL is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Supervisor 2XL module for modular Catalyst 9400 chassis. It provides the control plane, switching fabric, and uplink ports for chassis-based campus switching. Cisco positions Supervisor Engine 2XL for enterprise core and aggregation roles, with up to 480 Gbps per line-card slot and 100G uplink connectivity.
The C9400X-SUP-2XL model number identifies a Catalyst 9400X supervisor engine, generation 2, XL scale variant. The 2XL suffix separates it from C9400X-SUP-2 by doubling per-slot switching capacity from 240 Gbps to 480 Gbps across C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R chassis. The part is ordered as the main supervisor module, not as a line card.
C9400X-SUP-2XL is a supervisor engine module, not a fixed switch, access line card, or optical transceiver. It installs in the supervisor slot of a Catalyst 9400 chassis and controls forwarding resources, management, uplinks, and software functions for installed line cards. The module also exposes integrated uplink ports for 100G, 40G, 25G, 10G, and 1G designs.
Within the Catalyst 9400 supervisor lineup, C9400X-SUP-2XL is the higher-scale Supervisor 2XL option for core and aggregation deployments. It sits above C9400X-SUP-2, which Cisco lists at 240 Gbps per slot, and alongside earlier C9400-SUP-1XL and C9400-SUP-1XL-Y supervisors used for lower uplink or chassis-bandwidth requirements in modular access, distribution, and aggregation upgrades.
The module provides up to four non-blocking 100G or 40G uplinks through QSFP28 or QSFP transceivers and up to four non-blocking 25G or 10G uplinks through SFP28 or SFP+ transceivers. On C9400X-SUP-2XL, Cisco numbers the SFP28 capable ports 1 to 4 and the QSFP28 capable ports 5 to 8.
C9400X-SUP-2XL supports up to 480 Gbps per slot in C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R chassis. Cisco also lists centralized wired capacity up to 9.6 Tbps and a forwarding rate of 3 Bpps for IPv4 and IPv6. Those figures make the module the 480 Gbps per-slot supervisor choice within the Catalyst 9400 family.
PoE is delivered by Catalyst 9400 line cards and power supplies, not directly by the C9400X-SUP-2XL supervisor. With supported line cards, the Catalyst 9400 platform supports Cisco UPOE+ at 90W, Cisco UPOE at 60W, PoE+ at 30W, and PoE at 15W on access ports. The supervisor supplies the fabric and control plane behind that chassis design.
C9400X-SUP-2XL supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 campus switching functions through Cisco IOS XE and the Catalyst 9400 software feature set. Cisco lists advanced routing and infrastructure services for Supervisor Engine 2XL, including MPLS, VRF-aware LISP for SD-Access border roles, IPv4 and IPv6 wire-rate forwarding, QoS, ACL, and Flexible NetFlow resources.
Management for C9400X-SUP-2XL runs through Cisco IOS XE, Cisco Smart Licensing, supported Cisco MIBs, SNMP standards, and Cisco campus automation tooling. Catalyst 9400 deployments also integrate with Cisco Networking Cloud and Cisco Catalyst Center style operations where the software and licensing design support that model. The supervisor is the management anchor for the modular chassis.
C9400X-SUP-2XL supports chassis redundancy through single or dual supervisor deployment, depending on the Catalyst 9400 chassis design. Cisco lists NSF/SSO, ISSU, uplink resiliency, modular power redundancy, and StackWise Virtual support for Catalyst 9400 Series switching. A redundant supervisor design uses C9400X-SUP-2XL/2 as the paired ordering option.
C9400X-SUP-2XL is used when a Catalyst 9400 chassis acts as a high-capacity campus core or aggregation switch. The module drives 480 Gbps per line-card slot, so fiber aggregation cards and high-density multigigabit access cards have headroom for larger uplinks. It fits designs that consolidate multiple access blocks into a modular chassis with 100G northbound connectivity.
The module suits midsize to large modular campus environments using C9404R, C9407R, or C9410R chassis. Smaller sites often select fewer line cards or lower supervisor scale, while larger distribution and aggregation blocks benefit from Supervisor 2XL capacity across every line-card slot. C9400X-SUP-2XL is most relevant where a chassis refresh must preserve the Catalyst 9400 operational model and cabling.
C9400X-SUP-2XL is appropriate for routed aggregation, high-speed fiber uplinks, dense access switching, SD-Access border functions, and line-rate telemetry collection. Its 100G and 25G uplink options support upstream core links, while its 3 Bpps forwarding rate and 9.6 Tbps centralized wired capacity support large campus forwarding domains. It is not a server compute module or storage controller.
In a redundant Catalyst 9400 chassis, C9400X-SUP-2XL operates as the active or standby supervisor engine and keeps control-plane roles aligned with chassis high-availability features. Network teams use dual supervisors, power redundancy, and resilient uplink design to reduce maintenance impact. The module fits access, distribution, and aggregation deployments where a modular platform remains the standard.
C9400X-SUP-2XL is compatible with Cisco Catalyst C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R chassis. Cisco lists supervisor slot assignments for each chassis, with C9404R using slots 2 or 3, C9407R using slots 3 or 4, and C9410R using slots 5 or 6. Those chassis also support redundant supervisor placement in the same slot ranges.
The supervisor supports Catalyst 9400 line cards including C9400-LC-48U, C9400-LC-48T, C9400-LC-48UX, C9400-LC-48P, C9400-LC-48H, C9400-LC-48HN, C9400-LC-48HX, C9400-LC-48XS, C9400-LC-24XY, and C9400-LC-12QC. These include copper, fiber, multigigabit, UPOE, UPOE+, SFP+, SFP28, and QSFP28 chassis roles. Minimum IOS XE releases vary by line card.
C9400X-SUP-2XL integrates with Cisco supported QSFP28, QSFP, SFP28, SFP+, and SFP pluggable modules for its uplink ports. Ports 5 to 8 support QSFP28 for 100GE and QSFP for 40GE, while ports 1 to 4 support SFP28 for 25GE, SFP+ for 10GE, and SFP for 1GE operation.
The module runs as part of the Catalyst 9400 Cisco IOS XE ecosystem and uses Cisco Smart Licensing for software entitlement management. Catalyst 9400 orders commonly pair the hardware with Network Essentials, Network Advantage, Cisco DNA Essentials, or Cisco DNA Advantage licensing. A Smart Account and Cisco Smart Software Manager process should be planned before production deployment.
C9400X-SUP-2XL differs from C9400X-SUP-2 mainly in per-slot switching capacity and target role. Cisco lists C9400X-SUP-2 at 240 Gbps per slot for access deployments, while C9400X-SUP-2XL reaches 480 Gbps per slot and is positioned for core and aggregation. Both supervisors share 100G and 25G uplink families.
Compared with C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, C9400X-SUP-2XL is the stronger choice for Catalyst 9400X refreshes that require 100G uplinks and 480 Gbps per slot. C9400-SUP-1XL-Y supports 25G-focused uplinks and lower per-slot bandwidth that varies by chassis size. C9400X-SUP-2XL also uses the newer UADP 3.0sec ASIC generation for campus aggregation designs.
C9400X-SUP-2XL is a higher-capacity successor path for sites comparing it with C9400-SUP-1XL. The older C9400-SUP-1XL provides up to 240, 120, or 80 Gbps per slot depending on chassis, while C9400X-SUP-2XL provides 480 Gbps per slot across C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R. The newer module also adds 100G and 25G uplink options.
C9400X-SUP-2XL and C9400X-SUP-2XL/2 are related ordering options for the same Supervisor 2XL platform. C9400X-SUP-2XL identifies the supervisor module, while C9400X-SUP-2XL/2 identifies the redundant Supervisor 2XL module option. Buyers planning dual-supervisor chassis redundancy should match the spare or paired module to the chassis slot plan and IOS XE release.
C9400X-SUP-2XL price is normally quoted against condition, quantity, sourcing channel, warranty requirement, and lead time. ORM Systems should price the module after confirming whether the buyer needs new, refurbished, or replacement stock. The most accurate quote also checks matching optics, licensing, redundant supervisor requirements, and the target Catalyst 9400 chassis.
C9400X-SUP-2XL availability should be checked against live Cisco channel and refurbished-market supply before order confirmation. The module is a high-value Catalyst 9400 supervisor, so lead times change with condition, regional stock, and quantity. Buyers replacing a failed supervisor should confirm whether a single unit or redundant pair is required.
New and refurbished C9400X-SUP-2XL options are relevant for different procurement needs. New units suit standardized refresh projects and support-aligned purchases, while refurbished units suit spares, budget-controlled upgrades, and emergency replacements. Condition should be clearly recorded on the quote so warranty, testing, packaging, and lead-time expectations match the order.
C9400X-SUP-2XL should be checked against Cisco lifecycle notices at the time of purchase because production and end-of-life status change over time. Cisco currently lists the Supervisor 2XL ordering number in the Catalyst 9400 supervisor data sheet. ORM Systems buyers should still request lifecycle confirmation when the project requires long support windows or future expansion.
Bulk discounts for C9400X-SUP-2XL are most practical when a project includes multiple supervisors, redundant pairs, Catalyst 9400 line cards, optics, SSD options, or software licenses. ORM Systems can quote volume pricing based on total bill of materials and delivery schedule. Consolidated sourcing also reduces the risk of mismatched supervisor, line-card, and optics availability.
ORM Systems warranty coverage for C9400X-SUP-2XL should be confirmed on the quote because warranty terms differ by condition, source, and service option. Cisco lists Catalyst 9400 Series switches with Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty terms for eligible original-customer purchases. Resale purchases should rely on the warranty terms stated by ORM Systems for the specific unit supplied.
A refurbished C9400X-SUP-2XL should be tested before dispatch for boot status, uplink port recognition, management access, hardware inventory reporting, and compatibility with the stated Catalyst 9400 chassis. Testing is especially important for QSFP28 and SFP28 uplink ports because the module often sits in core or aggregation paths where replacement windows are tightly controlled.
C9400X-SUP-2XL inherits Catalyst 9400 platform compliance references that include safety, emissions, environmental, Ethernet, VLAN, spanning tree, LACP, 802.1X, RMON, SNMP, and RoHS-related standards. Cisco lists UL, CSA, EN, IEC, AS/NZS, IEEE 802.3, FCC Part 15, CISPR, and EN emissions references for Catalyst 9400 Series switches.
First use of C9400X-SUP-2XL starts with installation in the correct supervisor slot for C9404R, C9407R, or C9410R, followed by IOS XE validation, console or management access, and inventory checks. Engineers then confirm line-card status, supervisor redundancy state, uplink optics, and feature licensing before routing or switching policies move into production.
C9400X-SUP-2XL requires the correct Catalyst 9400 software entitlement for the intended feature set. Cisco lists Network Essentials, Network Advantage, Cisco DNA Essentials, and Cisco DNA Advantage licensing for Catalyst 9400 platforms. Smart Licensing and a Cisco Smart Account should be prepared so the chassis reports entitlements correctly after the supervisor comes online.
Deployment prerequisites for C9400X-SUP-2XL include a supported Catalyst 9400 chassis, compatible line cards, supported Cisco optics, appropriate power and cooling capacity, and an IOS XE release that supports the installed modules. Redundant deployments also require matching supervisor placement, synchronized software planning, and validated uplink design before maintenance windows begin.
C9400X-SUP-2XL is available to buy in the UK through ORM Systems as a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Supervisor 2XL module quote. UK buyers should request condition, warranty, lead time, and quantity details in the same enquiry. The quote should also include any required C9400X-SUP-2XL/2 redundant module, optics, line cards, SSD, or licensing items.
ORM Systems ships enterprise IT hardware internationally, with C9400X-SUP-2XL orders quoted according to destination, condition, export requirements, courier options, and lead time. International buyers should confirm the full bill of materials before dispatch because Catalyst 9400 supervisors often ship with related optics, line cards, licenses, or redundant supervisor modules.
