Power
The 9800-40 controller supports an optional redundant AC power supply.
The AC input ranges are as follows:
● Worldwide ranging AC input range (90 to 264 VAC)
The power entry modules (PEMs) provide redundant power to the system, and the 9800-40 can operate
continuously with only a single PEM installed. The PEMs are hot-swappable, and replacement of a single PEM
can be made without power interruption to the system. All external connections to the PEMs are made from the
rear panel of the chassis, and they are removed or inserted from the rear. The main power switch for the unit is
located directly next to the PEMs on the rear of the chassis.
SFPs supported
The four data ports can operate in either 10G or 1G mode.
Note:
10/100-Mbps operation is not supported.

Benefits
Cisco IOS XE opens a completely new paradigm in network configuration, operation, and monitoring through
network automation. Cisco’s automation solution is open, standards-based, and extensible across the entire
lifecycle of a network device. The various mechanisms that bring about network automation are outlined below,
based on a device lifecycle.
● Automated device provisioning: This is the ability to automate the process of upgrading software
images and installing configuration files on Cisco access points when they are being deployed in the
network for the first time. Cisco provides turnkey solutions such as Plug and Play (PnP) that enable
an effortless and automated deployment.
● API-driven configuration: Modern wireless controllers such as the Cisco Catalyst 9800-40
Wireless Controller support a wide range of automation features and provide robust open APIs over
Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) using YANG data models for external tools, both off-
the-shelf and custom built, to automatically provision network resources.
● Granular visibility: Model-driven telemetry provides a mechanism to stream data from a wireless
controller to a destination. The data to be streamed is driven through subscription to a data set in a
YANG model. The subscribed data set is streamed out to the destination at configured intervals.
Additionally, Cisco IOS XE enables the push model, which provides near-real-time monitoring of the
network, leading to quick detection and rectification of failures.
● Seamless software upgrades and patching: To enhance OS resilience, Cisco IOS XE supports
patching, which provides fixes for critical bugs and security vulnerabilities between regular
maintenance releases. This support allows customers to add patches without having to wait for the
next maintenance release.
Always on
● High availability: Stateful switchover with a 1:1 active standby and N+1 redundancy keeps your
network, services, and clients always on, even in unplanned events.
● Software Maintenance Upgrades (SMUs) with hot and cold patching: Patching allows for a patch
to be installed as a bug fix without bringing down the entire network and eliminates the need to
requalify an entire software image. The SMU is a package that can be installed on a system to
provide a patch fix or security resolution to a released image. SMUs allow you to address the
network issue quickly while reducing the time and scope of the testing required. The Cisco IOS XE
platform internally validates the SMU compatibility and does not allow you to install incompatible
SMUs. All SMUs are integrated into the subsequent Cisco IOS XE Software maintenance releases.
● Intelligent rolling access point upgrades and seamless multisite upgrades: The Cisco Catalyst
9800-40 Wireless Controller comes equipped with intelligent rolling access point upgrades to
simplify network operations. Multisite upgrades can now be done in stages, and access points can
be upgraded intelligently without restarting the entire network.

Page 11 of 20
Security
● Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA): ETA is a unique capability for identifying malware in encrypted
traffic coming from the access layer. Since more and more traffic is being encrypted, the visibility
this feature provides related to threat detection is critical for keeping your network secure at
different layers.
● Trustworthy systems: Cisco Trust Anchor Technologies provide a highly secure foundation for
Cisco products. With the Cisco Catalyst 9800-40, these trustworthy systems help assure hardware
and software authenticity for supply chain trust and strong mitigation against man-in-the-middle
attacks on software and firmware. Trust Anchor capabilities include:
◦ Image signing: Cryptographically signed images provide assurance that the firmware, BIOS, and
other software are authentic and unmodified. As the system boots, its software signatures are
checked for integrity.
◦ Secure Boot: Cisco Secure Boot technology anchors the boot sequence chain of trust to immutable
hardware, mitigating threats against a system's foundational state and the software that is to be
loaded, regardless of a user's privilege level. It provides layered protection against the persistence of
illicitly modified firmware.
◦ Cisco Trust Anchor module: A tamper-resistant, strong cryptographic, single-chip solution uniquely
identifies the product so that its origin can be confirmed to Cisco, providing assurance that the
product is genuine.
Flexible NetFlow
● Flexible NetFlow (FNF): Cisco IOS FNF is the next generation in flow visibility technology, allowing
optimization of the network infrastructure, reducing operating costs, and improving capacity
planning and security incident detection with increased flexibility and scalability.
Application visibility and control
● Next-Generation Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR2): NBAR2 enables advanced
application classification techniques, with up to 1400 predefined and well-known application
signatures and up to 150 encrypted applications on the Cisco Catalyst 9800-40. Some of the most
popular applications included are Skype, Office 365, Microsoft Lync, Cisco Webex®, and Facebook.
Many others are already predefined and easy to configure. NBAR2 provides the network
administrator with an important tool to identify, control, and monitor end-user application usage
while helping ensure a quality user experience and securing the network from malicious attacks. It
uses FNF to report application performance and activities within the network to any supported
NetFlow collector, such as Cisco Prime, Stealthwatch®, or any compliant third-party tool.
Quality of service
● Superior Quality of Service (QoS): QoS technologies are tools and techniques for managing
network resources and are considered the key enabling technologies for the transparent
convergence of voice, video, and data networks. QoS on the Cisco Catalyst 9800-40 consists of
classification of traffic based on packet data as well as application recognition and traffic control
actions such as drop, marking and policing. A modular QoS command-line framework provides
consistent platform-independent and flexible configuration behavior. The 9800-40 also supports
policies at two levels of target: BSSID as well as client. Policy assignment can be granular down to
the client level.

Smart operation
● Bluetooth ready: The Cisco Catalyst 9800-40 has hardware support to connect a Bluetooth dongle
to the controller, enabling you to use this wireless interface as a management port. This port
functions as an IP management interface and can be used for configuration and troubleshooting
using WebUI or the Command-Line Interface (CLI), and to transfer images and configurations.
● WebUI: WebUI is an embedded GUI-based device-management tool that provides the ability to
provision the device, simplify device deployment and manageability, and enhance the user
experience. WebUI comes with the default image. There is no need to enable anything or install any
license on the device. You can use WebUI to build a day-0 and day-1 configuration and from then
on monitor and troubleshoot the device without having to know how to use the CLI.

● Smart Licensing (SL) simplifies and adds flexibility to licensing. It is:
◦ Simple: Procure, deploy, and manage licenses easily. Devices self-register, removing the need for
Product Activation Keys (PAKs).
◦ Flexible: Pool license entitlements in a single account. Move licenses freely through the network,
wherever you need them.
◦ Smart: Manage your license deployments with real-time visibility into ownership and consumption.
● Specific License Reservation (SLR) is a feature used in highly secure networks. It provides a method for
customers to deploy a software license on a device (product instance) without communicating usage
information to Cisco. There is no communication with Cisco or a satellite. The licenses are reserved for
every controller. It is node-based licensing.
Four levels of license are supported on the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers. The controllers
can be configured to function at any one of the four levels.
● Cisco DNA Essentials: At this level the Cisco DNA Essentials feature set will be supported.
● Cisco DNA Advantage: At this level the Cisco DNA Advantage feature set will be supported.
● NE: At this level the Network Essentials feature set will be supported.
● NA: At this level the Network Advantage feature set will be supported.
Cisco DNA Premier is a bundle with ISE licenses and Cisco DNA Spaces Extend. It is inclusive of Cisco DNA
Advantage, so at this level the Cisco DNA Advantage feature set will be supported. For customers who
purchase Cisco DNA Essentials, Network Essentials will be supported and will continue to function even after
term expiration. And for customers who purchase Cisco DNA Advantage or Cisco DNA Premier, Network
Advantage will be supported and will continue to function even after term expiration.
Initial bootup of the controller will be at the Cisco DNA Advantage level.

Managing licenses with Smart Accounts
Creating Smart Accounts by using the Cisco Smart Software Manager (SSM) enables you to order devices and
licensing packages and also manage your software licenses from a centralized website. You can set up the
Smart Account to receive daily email alerts and to be notified of expiring add-on licenses that you want to
renew. A Smart Account is mandatory for the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series. For more information on Smart
Account refer to https://www.cisco.com/go/smartaccounts.
