9410R Stackwise Virtual SUP-1XL-Y available interfaces

Hey all,

 

Curious if someone could shed some light on this.  In the Catalyst 9400 Supervisor module datasheet it lists the valid configurations for single and dual Supervisor modules and the ports supported on a SUP-1XL-Y.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-9400-series-switches/nb-06-cat9400-ser-sup-eng-data-sheet-cte-en.html

 

What I'm trying to validate is if a pair of 9410Rs each with a single Supervisor SUP-1XL-Y are running in a Stackwise Virtual pair and I wanted to use the 25Gbps interface on the SUP-1XL-Y as an uplink from each chassis, would that mean the remainder of the ports on each of the SUPs are disabled?  Specifically looking at this section in the document for Dual Supervisor operation:

Active supervisor: 1x 25 Gigabit Ethernet port is active (port 1) (the other 1x 25 Gigabit Ethernet port is disabled); standby supervisor: 1x 25 Gigabit Ethernet port (port 1) (the other 1x 25 Gigabit Ethernet port is disabled)

 

OR, does each unit in the Stackwise pair have the ports available on the Supervisor module that it would have under the single Supervisor module setup?  Since technically there is one Sup per chassis but also at the same time under show redundancy it probably shows SSO standby hot when configured.

 

Just trying to shed some light on if I'd have to use a 10Gbps line card with 16.12.x for the SVL links and DAD link if I used the 25Gbps interface on each Supervisor module.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

What I'm trying to validate is if a pair of 9410Rs each with a single Supervisor SUP-1XL-Y are running in a Stackwise Virtual pair and I wanted to use the 25Gbps interface on the SUP-1XL-Y as an uplink from each chassis, would that mean the remainder of the ports on each of the SUPs are disabled? 

Correct. So, the sup comes with 8x10 Gig ports or 2 40Gig ports that can be used as 40Gig or 25Gig. If you use the 40Gig ports as 25Gig ports, than the other 8x10 Gig ports will be disabled. If you use the 8x10 Gig ports than the 2 40Gig ports are disabled. 

Bottom line, you can only use a total of 80 gig for uplinks and not 160. Now this 80 could be a combo of one 40 and 4x10, 8x10, 2x40, etc.
