Description

The MEM-C8500L-64GB is a 64 GB DRAM memory upgrade for the Cisco Catalyst 8500L Edge Platform (C8500L-8S4X). It suits WAN and SD-WAN edge deployments that need more route and flow scale, stronger control-plane performance, or headroom for containerised security services and the ThousandEyes agent running alongside routing.

The Catalyst 8500L ships with 16 GB of DRAM by default and supports 32 GB or 64 GB options. This 64 GB module is the maximum supported memory for the platform, which makes it the higher-capacity choice compared with the 32 GB MEM-C8500L-32GB. The host is a compact 1RU router with 4x 1/10GE SFP+ and 8x 1GE SFP ports, running Cisco IOS XE Software Release 17.4.1a or later.

The module is a passive component powered by the host chassis and needs no licence of its own. It is specific to the Catalyst 8500L and is not interchangeable with the MEM-C8500-64GB part used in the C8500-12X, C8500-12X4QC and C8500-20X6C platforms.

FAQs

Q: Does this memory module need a licence?
A: No. The memory module needs no licence. The host Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platform initially requires a Cisco DNA Advantage software subscription under Cisco Smart Licensing.

Q: Which platforms is MEM-C8500L-64GB compatible with?
A: It is for the Catalyst 8500L Edge Platform (C8500L-8S4X) only. The C8500-12X, C8500-12X4QC and C8500-20X6C platforms use separate memory parts, so MEM-C8500-64GB is not interchangeable with this SKU.

Q: How does it differ from MEM-C8500L-32GB?
A: Both upgrade the 16 GB default DRAM on the Catalyst 8500L. This module provides 64 GB, the maximum supported, while MEM-C8500L-32GB provides 32 GB.

Q: Does it need a separate power supply?
A: No. It is a passive component powered by the host chassis. The 8500L power supply options are PWR-CH1-400WAC (424W), PWR-CH1-400WDC (400W) and PWR-CC1-400WHV (500W).

Q: What software release is required?
A: The Catalyst 8500L host requires Cisco IOS XE Software Release 17.4.1a or later.
