Description

The Catalyst 9500 is a fixed 1RU high-performance switch for enterprise campus core and aggregation, data centre access and leaf roles, Software-Defined Access fabric border and control plane, and collapsed-core deployments that need dense 10/25G connectivity with 40/100G uplinks. It is built on the UADP 3.0 ASIC and runs Cisco IOS XE.

This model provides 48 SFP28 ports supporting 1/10/25 Gigabit Ethernet plus 4 QSFP28 uplink ports supporting 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet. Switching capacity is up to 3.2 Tbps with a forwarding rate of up to 1 Bpps. It carries 16 GB of DRAM and 16 GB of flash, and supports up to 256,000 IPv4 routes and 82,000 MAC addresses. The -A suffix means the Network Advantage perpetual licence is included, and optional Cisco DNA subscriptions must match that tier. Smart Licensing through a Smart Account is supported.

Power is provided by 1+1 redundant, field-replaceable supplies, with the 650W AC and 930W DC models supported, and cooling is front-to-back through a fan tray. Optics compatibility follows the Cisco Transceiver Module Group matrix for SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP+ and QSFP28 modules.
