Product Overview:
The Cisco N9K-SUP series supervisor modules are central control units for the Cisco Nexus 9500 Series modular switches. They provide management, control-plane services, and orchestration of all switching operations. Designed for high availability, speed, and feature-rich operations, these supervisor engines play a critical role in the performance and stability of large-scale data center environments.
Product Description:
Cisco N9K-SUP modules deliver the core intelligence and control required in the Nexus 9500 modular chassis, enabling high-speed switching, network-wide automation, and policy enforcement. The newer generations such as the N9K-SUP-B+ offer enhanced CPU performance, larger memory, and support for advanced telemetry and analytics. These supervisors are hot-swappable, support Cisco NX-OS and ACI modes, and enable seamless integration with spine-and-leaf architectures in modern data centers.
