Marketing Information: The Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series switches represent the next generation of enterprise-class core and aggregation layer switches, offering full programmability and serviceability. Powered by an x86 CPU, the Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series stands as Cisco’s premier purpose-built fixed core and aggregation enterprise switching platform, designed to address the needs of security, IoT, and cloud environments. Featuring a 4-core x86, 2.4-GHz CPU, 16-GB DDR4 memory, and 16-GB internal storage, these switches provide robust performance and flexibility.

The Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series is distinguished as the industry’s first purpose-built 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet line of switches tailored for the enterprise campus. These switches deliver unparalleled table scale (MAC/route/ACL) and buffering for enterprise applications. Offering 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, the series caters to diverse campus requirements. Moreover, 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), along with Cisco Software-Defined Access capabilities like host tracking database, cross-domain connectivity, and VPN Routing and Forwarding (VRF)-aware Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP). Additionally, the switches offer network system virtualization through Cisco StackWise virtual technology, vital for their deployment in the campus core. The Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series also provides essential high-availability features including 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:

The Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) with Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) constitutes the network fabric powering businesses. It represents an open and extensible, software-driven architecture that accelerates and simplifies enterprise network operations. The programmable architecture liberates IT staff from time-consuming, repetitive network configuration tasks, enabling them to focus on innovation that transforms businesses positively. SD-Access facilitates policy-based automation from edge to cloud, encompassing simplified device deployment, unified management of wired and wireless networks, network virtualization and segmentation, group-based policies, and context-based analytics. The Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series switches serve as the foundational building block for Software-Defined Access, Cisco’s leading enterprise architecture.
