Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series
platform-specific commands The Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series is based on Cisco’s UADP 2.0 mini ASIC architecture and an internal
ARM CPU architecture. This allows the switch to run with the Cisco IOS-XE operating system, which
Conclusion enables the switch to support standard YANG models through NETCONF or RESTCONF and to run
scripts natively within the switch.
