Description

The Catalyst 9500 C9500-40X-2Q-A is a fixed 1RU enterprise core and aggregation switch from the Catalyst 9500 Series. It suits campus core and collapsed-core deployments, and 10G server or data centre aggregation where StackWise Virtual resiliency and SD-Access support are needed.

The base C9500-40X provides 40 x 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP/SFP+ ports, and this SKU adds a C9500-NM-2Q network module with 2 x 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports. It is built on the UADP 2.0 ASIC and is licensed at the Network Advantage tier, indicated by the -A suffix. Dual 1+1 redundant power supply bays and a field-replaceable fan tray support resilient operation, with a 90 to 264 VAC input range.

The switch runs Cisco IOS XE and supports Layer 3 routing, MPLS, BGP EVPN VXLAN, MACsec encryption and model-driven programmability through NETCONF, RESTCONF and gNMI. Compatible network modules include the C9500-NM-2Q and C9500-NM-8X, and optics should be selected against the Cisco TMG Matrix.
