Product Overview
The Cisco Catalyst 9407R switch is part of the modular 9400 Series, built to power modern enterprise LAN environments with exceptional scalability and resilience. Featuring 96 ports of UPOE+ over 10/100/1000 RJ-45 and a 10U rack-mountable chassis, it supports high port density while maintaining simplified management through Cisco's DNA Essentials license. With a Supervisor 1XL and dual 48-port line cards, this configuration is optimized for core aggregation or access layer expansion in large networks.
Performance specs include centralized throughput of 1.44 Tbps and per-slot switching capacity of 120 Gbps, with forwarding rates of 900 Mpps for IPv4 and 782.6 Mpps for IPv6. The switch handles up to 144,000 IPv4 and 56,000 IPv6 routing entries and supports 4,096 VLANs, 1,000 SVIs, and enhanced Layer 2/3 multicast routing. Advanced features like Energy Efficient Ethernet, TrustSec, Precision Time Protocol (PTP), and Cisco’s Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) are built-in for unified operations and greater network control.
Its modularity, large memory (16 GB RAM and 240 GB built-in SSD), and hot-pluggable power support further enhance system uptime and flexibility. Certified to numerous global standards and offering an MTBF of over 1.5 million hours, this switch is a future-ready platform for organizations prioritizing availability, performance, and compliance at scale.
