N9K-SUP-B+ Overview
N9K-SUP-B+ is a high-performance supervisor module engineered for the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches. Designed as a modular control card, it delivers robust management and forwarding capabilities to support advanced data center networking environments. The module is built for high-density, low-latency operations, enabling rapid packet processing in scalable infrastructures.
Optimized for mission-critical network deployments, the N9K-SUP-B+ integrates seamlessly into Cisco’s Nexus ecosystem. While it is not a traditional Ethernet module with fixed network ports, it underpins the system’s overall performance by managing control plane operations and interfacing with a range of high-speed interconnects within the chassis. Its design and form factor ensure compatibility with Cisco Nexus switches, supporting core protocols such as TCP/IP for efficient data center routing and switching.
N9K-SUP-B+ price is $12,562.00, a 47.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $23,811.00. N9K-SUP-B+ is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

N9K-SUP-B+ Use Case
High-Availability Spine-Leaf Fabric with Supervisor B+ Redundancy
In a campus or hyperscale data center, dual N9K-SUP-B+ Supervisor B+ modules are deployed in a Nexus 9500 spine-leaf fabric to deliver nonstop forwarding and stateful supervisor switchover. The supervisors synchronize control-plane state and maintain under-lay and overlay connectivity across EVPN-VXLAN tunnels. Benefit: Achieve sub-second failover, 7-9s network uptime SLAs and seamless application delivery during planned maintenance or unexpected hardware failures.
Scalable Multi-Tenant Cloud Network with EVPN-VXLAN Control Plane
A service provider leverages N9K-SUP-B+ Supervisor B+ in Nexus 9500 leaf switches to run a hardware-accelerated EVPN-VXLAN control plane, segmenting thousands of tenants across a single fabric. The supervisor offloads MAC learning, ARP suppression and multicast replication, enabling line-rate forwarding and consistent policy enforcement. Benefit: Simplify tenant onboarding, scale to 100K+ routes per supervisor, and reduce CAPEX by consolidating control-plane functions on high-performance ASICs.
Advanced Telemetry and Programmability for Real-Time Operations
An enterprise IT team integrates N9K-SUP-B+ Supervisor B+ with Cisco streaming telemetry and NX-API to monitor network health and automate remediation. The supervisor streams flow and counters data via gRPC-Telemetry to a centralized analytics engine, triggering Python-based scripts to adjust QoS or reroute traffic dynamically. Benefit: Gain sub-second visibility, reduce mean time to resolution by 50%, and enforce intent-based policies without manual intervention.
