Description

The Catalyst 9500 is a fixed core and aggregation switch built on the Cisco UADP 2.0 ASIC and running IOS XE. It suits enterprise campus core, aggregation and collapsed-core deployments that need dense 10G connectivity, as well as data centre or distribution-layer roles using SD-Access fabric, MPLS and VXLAN EVPN.

This model provides 16 fixed 1/10G SFP/SFP+ ports plus an 8-port 1/10G SFP/SFP+ network module, giving 24 ports in total. It delivers up to 480 Gbps switching capacity and up to 360 Mpps forwarding rate, with 16 GB DRAM, 16 GB flash and support for up to 64,000 MAC addresses. It is a 1 RU chassis with 1+1 redundant hot-swappable 950W power supplies and a field-replaceable fan tray with front-to-back airflow. It ships with the perpetual Network Essentials licence tier, with Network Advantage as the higher tier.

The C9500-NM-8X and C9500-NM-2Q (2 x 40G QSFP+) network modules are supported, and optics compatibility follows the Cisco TMG matrix. Minimum software is IOS XE 16.8.1.

FAQs

Q: Which licence does this switch use?
A: It uses the perpetual Network Essentials licence tier, shown by the -E suffix. Network Advantage is the higher tier and can be reached with a C9500-LIC upgrade. Cisco DNA subscription options are also available through Smart Licensing.

Q: How do I get 24 ports from this model?
A: The switch has 16 fixed 1/10G SFP/SFP+ ports. Adding the C9500-NM-8X network module provides 8 more 1/10G SFP/SFP+ ports, for 24 in total.

Q: What power supplies does it use?
A: It uses 1+1 redundant hot-swappable 950W supplies, either PWR-C4-950WAC-R (90 to 264 VAC) or PWR-C4-950WDC-R (DC). The fan tray is the field-replaceable FAN-T4-R with front-to-back airflow.

Q: Can it provide 40G uplinks?
A: Yes. The C9500-NM-2Q network module adds 2 x 40G QSFP+ ports in place of the 8-port 10G module.

Q: What software does it require?
A: The minimum software is IOS XE 16.8.1. Check Cisco's release notes for the version that suits the features you plan to run.
