Cisco C9410R - Is Uplink 40Gb or 80Gb?

[smith2487]

We have a Catalyst 9410R with 2 Supervisor 1 XL Modules. We will be using 4 10Gb ports from each Supervisor to uplink to Nexus core switches. My question is, do we have an 80Gb uplink or only a 40Gb uplink because 1 of the Supervisor's is on Standby?

Hi,

Both sup will participate for traffic forwarding and only control traffic will pass to active by standby sup. so you can use both.

Rate and mark as solved if this solved your concern

Thanks for replying. So, just to be clear. Each Sup will uplink 40Gb, so I effectively have an 80Gb Uplink. Correct?

Active / Passive Sup ports , both will be active and pass the Data traffic.

if they are cumulative 8x 10GB yes 80GB and Ethernchannel policy apply for Loadbalance each link.
