Description

The Catalyst 9500 is a fixed 1RU Layer 3 switch built for enterprise core and aggregation roles, including SD-Access campus deployments. This model suits high-density 10/25G server or distribution aggregation with 40/100G uplinks, and it runs Cisco IOS XE.

The C9500-48Y4C-E provides 48 SFP/SFP+/SFP28 ports at 1/10/25G and 4 QSFP28 uplink ports at 40/100G. It is built on the UADP 3.0 ASIC with up to 3.2 Tbps of switching capacity and 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 up to 82,000 MAC addresses depending on the SDM template. The -E suffix means this SKU includes the perpetual Network Essentials licence, with an upgrade to Network Advantage (-A) available separately. It does not provide PoE.

The chassis has two hot-swappable power supply slots for redundancy, supporting the C9K-PWR-650WAC-R, C9K-PWR-650WACL-R and C9K-PWR-930WDC-R modules. The fan tray is the C9K-T1-FANTRAY. Optional pluggable SSD storage in 240G, 480G and 960G capacities is available for application hosting, and the platform requires Cisco IOS XE Release 16.8.1a or later.
