Description

The Catalyst 9500X-60L4D is a fixed 1RU enterprise core and aggregation switch built on the Cisco Silicon One Q200 ASIC. It suits campus core, high-density 25/50G server or distribution aggregation with 400G uplinks, SD-Access and EVPN VXLAN fabric border or control plane roles, and MPLS or WAN services-edge deployments.

The port layout is 60 x 10/25/50G SFP56 ports, with 8 of them also accepting 1G SFP-1G-SX/LH optics, plus 4 x 40/100/200/400G QSFP-DD uplink ports. It delivers up to 9.2 Tbps switching capacity and 8 Bpps forwarding, with up to 256,000 MAC addresses and up to 2 million IPv4 routes. An 8-core 2.3-GHz x86 CPU, 32 GB DRAM and 32 GB flash support container-based application hosting. This SKU carries the Network Advantage perpetual licence, which is paired with a Catalyst or DNA Advantage subscription, and it runs Cisco IOS XE 17.10.1 or later.

Power comes from 1500W Platinum-rated supplies in a 1+1 redundant arrangement, with six field-replaceable fans in a selectable airflow direction. Optics compatibility is listed in the Cisco TMG matrix, and the Catalyst 9500 network modules (C9500-NM-8X/2Q) are not supported on this platform.
