Description

The Catalyst 9500 C9500-24Y4C-E is a fixed 1RU enterprise core and aggregation switch built on the Cisco UADP 3.0 ASIC and running Cisco IOS XE. It suits campus core and distribution layers, 25G server and uplink aggregation near the data centre, and SD-Access fabric border or control plane roles.

The front panel provides 24 x 1/10/25G SFP28 ports and 4 x 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports. Switching capacity is up to 2.0 Tbps with a forwarding rate of up to 1 Bpps, backed by 16 GB DRAM and 16 GB flash. Scale reaches up to 82,000 MAC addresses, 256,000 IPv4/IPv6 routes and 256,000 Flexible NetFlow entries, with 4,094 VLAN IDs and 9,216-byte jumbo frames. This SKU carries the Network Essentials perpetual licence, covering foundational Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, automation, visibility and security. Network Advantage can be obtained through the C9500-LIC= upgrade licence.

Power comes from dual 1+1 hot-swappable AC or DC supplies, with the C9K-PWR-650WAC-R, C9K-PWR-650WACL-R and C9K-PWR-930WDC-R supported. Cooling uses the C9K-T1-FANTRAY with front-to-back airflow. Optics are supported per the Cisco Optics-to-Device Compatibility Matrix, and the switch requires Cisco IOS XE 16.8.1a or later.
