FAQs

Q: What is included with the C9500-24X-A by default?
A: The switch ships with 16 fixed 10G SFP+ ports, one C9500-NM-8X 8-port 10G SFP+ network module pre-installed, one 950W AC power supply, rack mount kit, console cable, and Network Advantage license. Transceivers and a second power supply are sold separately.

Q: Can I use both 1G and 10G SFP modules in the C9500-24X-A?
A: Yes, all 24 SFP+ ports support both 1G SFP and 10G SFP+ transceivers, providing flexible speed options for mixed-speed environments.

Q: What is StackWise Virtual and how many switches can be stacked?
A: StackWise Virtual allows two C9500 switches to operate as a single logical unit using high-speed Ethernet cables, providing active-active redundancy and sub-second failover. Only 2 switches can be paired in a StackWise Virtual domain.

Q: Does the C9500-24X-A support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
A: No, the C9500-24X-A is a non-PoE model designed for high-speed 10G uplinks and aggregation. For PoE requirements, consider other Catalyst 9500 models with PoE capabilities.

Q: What advanced routing features are enabled with Network Advantage?
A: Network Advantage unlocks advanced Layer 3 capabilities including MPLS L3VPN, EVPN, VRF-Lite, Segment Routing, dynamic routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP, BGP), enhanced QoS, and full integration with Cisco DNA Center for automation and analytics.
