The Cisco® Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) with Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) is the
network fabric that powers business. Cisco DNA is an open and extensible, software-driven architecture that
accelerates and simplifies your enterprise network operations. The programmable architecture frees your IT
staff from time consuming, repetitive network configuration tasks so they can focus instead on innovation that
positively transforms your business. SD-Access enables policy-based automation from edge to cloud with
foundational capabilities. These include:
The Cisco Catalyst® 9400 Series switches are Cisco’s leading modular enterprise switching access, distribution
and core platform built for security, IoT and cloud. These switches form the foundational building block for SD-
Access ― Cisco’s lead enterprise architecture. The platform provides unparalleled investment protection with a
chassis architecture that is capable of supporting up to 9 Tbps of system bandwidth and unmatched power
delivery for high density IEEE 802.3bt (60W and 90W PoE). Redundancy is now table stakes across the
portfolio. The Catalyst 9400 delivers state-of-the-art High Availability (HA) with capabilities like Cisco®
StackWise® Virtual technology with In-service-software-upgrade (ISSU), SSO/NSF, uplink resiliency, N+1/N+N
redundancy for power supplies. The platform is enterprise optimized with an innovative dual-serviceable fan
tray design, side to side airflow and is closet-friendly with ~16” depth. A single system can scale up to 384
access ports with your choice of 1G copper, mGig, Cisco UPOE+©, UPOE, PoE+, 1G Fiber options. The
availability of 1/10 G fiber ports facilitate aggregation of existing small form factor fixed access switches. The
addition of the new SUP-1XL-Y supervisor allows unique investment protection through 25 G uplink
connectivity option which is becoming a popular alternative to 10 G in the core. The platform also supports
advanced routing and infrastructure services, SD-Access capabilities and network system virtualization. These
features enable optional placement of the platform in the core and aggregation layers of small to medium-sized
campus environments.
Embedded Wireless on Catalyst 9000 switches (SD-Access network not required) using WebUI: The Cisco
Catalyst 9800 embedded Wireless Controller Software package can be installed on Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series
switches to enable wireless controller functionality. This solution is designed for single secure site deployment.
You can use the simple WebUI to configure and enable the wireless controller. Once installed, the Catalyst
9800 embedded Wireless Controller running on a Catalyst 9400 Series switch can support up to 200 APs and
4000 Clients. A maximum of two wireless controllers can be enabled per site on two different Catalyst 9400
Series switches increasing the scale up to 400 APs and 8000 Wireless Clients. Up to 4 VRFs are supported.
SSO support is also available in dual-SUP mode.

Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series
The Catalyst 9400 Series chassis is enterprise optimized with efficient side-to-side airflow and full front
accessibility for all removable components, including supervisors, line cards, power supplies and fan tray. The
chassis also supports optional rear accessibility for fan trays to enable efficient cable management. Catalyst
9400 Series chassis, supervisor, line cards, powersupply and fan trays have embedded RFID tags which
facilitate easy asset and inventory management using commercial RFID readers.

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 different wattage and type whether AC or DC.
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.
Combined mode
In this mode the power available for the entire chassis is equal to the sum of the output power of both of the
power supplies multiplied by the share ratio.

Requirement
Note:
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,
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.
