Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) on Cisco Catalyst 9000 Family Switches White Paper
The Cisco Catalyst 9200, 9300 and 9500 Series, which are one-rack-unit (1RU) switches, have one built-in RFID
tag in the front panel of the switch. The modular Cisco Catalyst 9400 and 9600 Series chassis features built-in RFID
on several system components: the supervisor, line card, and fan tray. The RFID tag on the Cisco Catalyst 9400 and
9600 Series line cards are embedded in the ejector arm handle (Figure 4)
an rfid tag may have several forms, well known forms are
- a flat RFID tag -> a "sticker" with a coil connected to a chip
- a tube like RFID tag which can be mounted inside a plastic element, as in the aboive mentioned "handle"
