Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

The C9410R supports SSH and SSL protocols, which encrypt network traffic and ensure secure remote management. This helps prevent unauthorized access to the switch chassis and protects sensitive data transmitted over the network.

Access Control Lists (ACLs)

ACLs allow you to define rules that control which devices or users can access your network resources. With the C9410R, you can create granular ACLs to restrict access to specific ports or protocols, providing an additional layer of security to your network infrastructure.

Network Segmentation

The C9410R supports virtual LANs (VLANs), allowing you to segment your network into smaller, isolated subnetworks. This helps prevent unauthorized access and contains potential security breaches within a specific VLAN, minimizing the impact on the entire network.

High-Speed Performance

The C9410R delivers exceptional performance to meet the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications and services. It supports high-speed switching capabilities, allowing for seamless data transmission across your network infrastructure.

High-Performance Switch Fabric

The C9410R features a high-performance switch fabric that enables wire-speed forwarding of network traffic. This ensures low-latency and high-throughput communication, providing a smooth and responsive network experience for users.

Quality of Service (QoS)

The C9410R supports advanced QoS mechanisms, allowing you to prioritize certain types of network traffic. This ensures that critical applications, such as voice or video conferencing, receive the necessary bandwidth and are not affected by other less time-sensitive traffic.

Ease of Management

Managing complex networks can be a daunting task. The C9410R simplifies network management with its intuitive and user-friendly interface.

Cisco IOS XE Software

The C9410R runs on Cisco IOS XE Software, a powerful operating system that provides a rich set of features and tools for network management. Its modular architecture allows for easy upgrades and seamless integration with other Cisco products.

Centralized Management

The C9410R can be managed centrally through Cisco DNA Center, a network management platform that streamlines operations and provides a unified view of your network infrastructure. With Cisco DNA Center, you can simplify configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting tasks, saving time and minimizing errors.
