- David Bombal and NetworkChuck traveled to Cisco HQ in San Jose, California to take a look at their new Catalyst 9600 Series switch. Rajesh from the engineering team that designed this switch busted open the switch and let us peak inside.

Its always interesting to hear the thoughts behind design decisions from the people who did the design themselves versus through a PR person.
Now Im waiting for a giveaway of one of these bad boys......;)
It's amazing that we can get to know the latest enterprise hardware on TH-cam just like we were there. Thanks for making this video!
Rajesh Edamula - Principal Engineer Cisco. Nice take on this product guys.
I want to hear David says "It's a sexy switch"
Wonderful @david bombal & @network chuck
and Rajesh Edamula - Principal Engineer Cisco
On any of the 9000 switches you can host a wireless controller as an application and it runs on the x86 CPU that's on the supervisor card or that's embedder into the board. I know the 9600 and 9300 series switches as well as the modern Nexus switches all run Intel CPUs.
Nice to see the pre-corona world.
Utopia.
😂 You mean the pre industrial world? Pre corona was still dystopia.
We’ve had so may problems with these chassis
At least 4 out of 10 have has major rma’s
Iosxe hasn’t been much better
Although finally we’re seeing stability
Cisco seem to want end users to do their QC for them nowadays
why arent there more of these
hey network chuks looks cool ..
i am a contributor. Wonderful products
Bass!
Can tell they aren't very big hardware guys when they are impressed by vapor chamber coolers that every high end GPU and many laptops have
It's a switch. Uncommon on those I believe. Part of the network is cooling I hope they have knowledge about types of coolers.
Never had a fan tray fail in any switch
with 45k value price yes its sexy and better than your Mercedes 40K :P
How much does a fully decked out system cost?
Cisco: Yes.
We bought 3 9407rs, with 4 line cards and 2 sups from certified pre owned vendor for around 70k-80k kind of a bargain for us with 7+year old fixed switches. Chassis solution is much better
Can I run OpenWRT on it? LOL 🤣
you can probably load it on that m.2 slot and run myriads of openwrt instances
Yes, everything Catalyst seems to be designed by very smart Indian guys. So I can understand that most of them have very thick accent which makes it sometimes hard to understand all what they are saying. That switch though is a beast, only the 9400 seems to have some oversubscription on the supervisor depending on what linecards you insert.

when one travels the world you awaken an innate trait that connects you to understanding what others are saying, regardless of their accent or dialect - it's called listening. Yeah, it's a great piece of equipment and super presentation, i enjoyed zoning in and then quickly researching nuggets mentioned.
if only they would use silent fans. wear hearing protection in data centers.
It wouldn't make a difference when you have air handlers that are as loud as jet engines on the data floor.
@@duvallwifi It would help, still wear hearing protection. Its probable why I lost some hearing didn't wear any when I worked in a data center.
They should use a different RPM for each fan. Or use two types that cancel each other. But you don't need to hear in there. It's just annoying.
I cringed every time they rotated the chassis on the table top. Why cant they put them on some kind of turntable / lazy susan? Also, somehow it took me a while to understand which car designer was involved in the design - it was Pininfarina. And I welcome their input for the line card handles. I never liked the feeling on the old catalyst 4500 or 6500.
turntable, yip 😬 - always find it funny how end-user customers go ballistic over tiny scratches and RMA accordingly but then during deployment expensive kit are treated willy-nilly.
4500/6500 handles break at times but plus is you can still insert with one broken handle and just use captive release screws to keep intact.
All in all a good take on the product.
Good shout on Pininfarina and the humanised technology design used on this chassis and other models within the range - interesting design company.
I wonder if all Indian computer geniuses focused on creating their own brand instead of working for Americans!!
What does that mean
How SWAY??!!
there's literally various entities involved during the design and manufacturing process and I'm sure all parties involved may have other projects running parallel, it's a given in this age. Rajesh is not only working for but working with Cisco...yikes!
Hard to understand the INDIAN english????
It's really not difficult to understand him lol
Not that hard to understand, people just lock into an accent
