Cisco Catalyst C9500-24Y4C Manageable Layer 3 Switch - 3 Layer Supported -
Modular - Optical Fiber - Lifetime Limited Warranty
The Cisco® Catalyst® 9500
Series switches are the next generation of enterprise-class core and aggregation
layer switches, supporting full programmability and serviceability. Based on an
x86 CPU, the Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series is Cisco's lead purpose-built fixed core
and aggregation enterprise switching platform, built for security, IoT, and
cloud. The switches come with a 4-core x86, 2.4-GHz CPU, 16-GB DDR4 memory, and
16-GB internal storage.
The Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series is the industry's first purpose-built 40 and 100
Gigabit Ethernet line of switches targeted for the enterprise campus. These
switches deliver unmatched table scale (MAC/route/ACL) and buffering for
enterprise applications. The Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series includes nonblocking 40
and 100 Gigabit Ethernet Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP+, QSFP28) and 1,
10 and 25 Gigabit Ethernet Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP/SFP+/SFP28)
switches with granular port densities that fit diverse campus needs. The
switches support advanced routing and infrastructure services (such as
Multiprotocol Label Switching [MPLS] Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs, Multicast VPN
[MVPN], and Network Address Translation [NAT]); Cisco Software-Defined Access
capabilities (such as a host tracking database, cross-domain connectivity, and
VPN Routing and Forwarding [VRF]-aware Locator/ID Separation Protocol [LISP]);
and network system virtualization with Cisco StackWise® virtual
technology that are critical for their placement in the campus core. The Cisco
Catalyst 9500 Series also supports foundational high-availability capabilities
such as patching, Graceful Insertion and Removal (GIR), Cisco Nonstop Forwarding
with Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO), redundant platinum-rated power supplies, and
fans.
The
foundation of Software-Defined Access
Advanced persistent security threats. The exponential growth of Internet of
Things (IoT) devices. Mobility everywhere. Cloud adoption. All of these require
a network fabric that integrates advanced hardware and software innovations to
automate, secure, and simplify customer networks. The goal of this network
fabric is to enable customer revenue growth by accelerating the rollout of
business services.
The Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA™)
with Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) is the network fabric that powers
business. It is an open and extensible, software-driven architecture that
accelerates and simplifies your enterprise network operations. The programmable
architecture frees your IT staff from time-consuming, repetitive network
configuration tasks so they can focus instead on innovation that positively
transforms your business. SD-Access enables policy-based automation from edge to
cloud with foundational capabilities. These include:
- Simplified device
deployment
- Unified management of
wired and wireless networks
- Network virtualization
and segmentation
- Group-based policies
- Context-based analytics
The Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series switches form the foundational building block for
Software-Defined Access?Cisco's leading enterprise architecture.
