Description

The Catalyst 9500 is a fixed 1RU enterprise core and aggregation switch built for high-density 10 Gigabit deployments. This C9500-48X-A suits campus core and aggregation layers, collapsed-core designs, and SD-Access fabric border and control plane roles.

It provides 48 x 1/10G SFP+ ports on the Cisco UADP 2.0 platform, with 16 GB of DRAM and 16 GB of flash. The platform family delivers up to 480 Gbps switching capacity and up to 360 Mpps forwarding rate. This SKU is supplied with Network Advantage licensing, which adds advanced routing, MPLS, VXLAN/BGP EVPN and SD-Access capability over the base tier.

Optional uplink modules C9500-NM-8X and C9500-NM-2Q, rack-mount kits and pluggable SSD options are supported, and optics compatibility is listed in the Cisco TMG Optics-to-Device Compatibility Matrix.
