Description

The Catalyst 9500 is Cisco's fixed enterprise core and aggregation switching platform, and this 1RU model suits campus core, distribution, collapsed-core and Software-Defined Access fabric deployments. It is built on the UADP 2.0 ASIC and also fits MPLS and WAN-edge or data-centre-edge roles.

The C9500-16X provides 16 x 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP/SFP+ ports, with up to 480 Gbps of switching capacity and a forwarding rate of up to 360 Mpps. It supports up to 64,000 MAC addresses and carries 16 GB of DRAM and 16 GB of flash. This SKU has no uplink network module fitted and ships with the perpetual Network Essentials licence, which covers foundational Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, automation, visibility and security. Cisco DNA subscriptions, where required, are ordered separately and must match the Essentials tier.

The chassis uses dual 1+1 redundant hot-swappable power supplies (PWR-C4-950WAC-R or PWR-C4-950WDC-R) and front-to-back airflow with field-replaceable FAN-T4-R fans. The optional C9500-NM-8X (8 x 1/10G SFP/SFP+) and C9500-NM-2Q (2 x 40G QSFP+) network modules expand port density. It runs Cisco IOS XE 16.8.1 or later.
