Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series 24-Port 40 G/1 G/12-Port 100 G (C9600-LC-24C)
Description
• 24 ports of 40 G or 1 G and 12 ports of 100 G: Provides 24x1
G/40 G interfaces by default, which can be converted to 12x100
G ports.
• Supports a mix of 40 G/1 G and 100 G simultaneously.
• All the 24 ports are configured as 40 G/1 G by default. Only the
odd-numbered ports can be configured as 100 G, if required.
• 40 G/1 G: Two ports per port group. A port group constitutes
the top and bottom consecutive ports in a module.
Provides 10 G connectivity on QSFP ports by converting a 40 G/100
G QSFP port into an SFP/SFP+ port.
The line card supports the following configurations using a QSA
adapter in a port group:
• Configuring odd-numbered (top) and even-numbered (bottom)
ports with the QSA adapter.
• Configuring odd-numbered ports with the QSA adapter and
even-numbered ports with 40 G QSFP optics.
If you configure an odd-numbered port with 40 G QSFP
Note
optics and the even-numbered port with the QSA adapter,
the QSA adapter in the even-numbered port will not work.
C9606R: Slots 1, 2, 5, and 6 only. However, you can install a line
card in any of the supported slots.
Configurations with QSFP optics plugged into the top port and the
