Supported Supervisor Engines
The Catalyst 9404R chassis supports multiple Cisco Catalyst 9400 supervisor engines, including the C9400-SUP-1, C9400-SUP-1XL, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, C9400X-SUP-2, and C9400X-SUP-2XL. The available bandwidth, features, software requirements, and line-card performance depend on the installed supervisor engine.
Line Card Expansion
The two dedicated line-card slots can accommodate compatible Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series line cards for different enterprise connectivity requirements. Depending on the selected line card and supervisor, available interfaces can include 10/100/1000BASE-T, multigigabit Ethernet, PoE+, UPOE, 1G SFP, 10G SFP+, 25G SFP28, 40G QSFP+, and 100G QSFP28 connectivity.
High-Availability Architecture
Cisco Catalyst 9404R is designed for resilient enterprise switching deployments. The chassis supports redundant supervisor modules, multiple power supply bays, and a hot-swappable fan tray. The modular architecture allows network administrators to select compatible supervisor engines and line cards according to performance, port density, PoE, and uplink requirements.
