Description

The Catalyst 9500 is a fixed 1RU enterprise core and aggregation switch built on the UADP 2.0 ASIC. It suits campus core and aggregation roles, data centre top-of-rack and leaf aggregation, and Software-Defined Access fabric border or control-plane nodes that need 10G density with 40G uplinks.

This SKU provides 40 x 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP/SFP+ ports plus a C9500-NM-2Q network module with 2 x 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports. It ships with the Network Essentials perpetual licence tier, covering foundational Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, automation, visibility and security. Memory is 16 GB DRAM and 16 GB flash, with support for Cisco StackWise Virtual.

Power comes from hot-swappable 1+1 redundant supplies, with the PWR-C4-950WAC-R (AC) and PWR-C4-950WDC-R (DC) 950W units supported. Cooling is a field-replaceable FAN-T4-R fan tray with front-to-back airflow. It runs Cisco IOS XE and works with the C9500-NM-8X network module as an alternative uplink option.
