Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series Switch

Cisco Catalyst 9500 models The Cisco UADP ASIC is ready for next-generation technologies with its programmable pipeline, microengine capabilities, and template-based, configurable allocation of Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding, ACLs, and QoS entries. Up to 6.4-Tbps switching capacity with up to 2 Bpps of forwarding performance. Up to 36 MB of unified buffer per ASIC. Intel® 2.4-GHz x86 CPU with up to 120 GB of USB 3.0 or up to 960 GB of SATA SSD storage for container-based application hosting. Up to 32 nonblocking 100 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 ports. Up to 32 nonblocking 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports. Up to 48 nonblocking 25 Gigabit Ethernet SFP28 ports. Up to 48 nonblocking 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports. Scalable Layer 3 routing (IPv4, IPv6, and multicast) tables and Layer 2 switching tables. Hardware support for application hosting. IEEE 802.1ba Audio Video Bridging (AVB) built in to provide a better AV experience through improved time synchronization and QoS. Precision Time Protocol (PTP; IEEE 1588v2) provides accurate clock synchronization with sub-microsecond accuracy, making it suitable for distribution and synchronization of time and frequency over the network. Support for both static and dynamic NAT and Port Address Translation (PAT). Cisco StackWise Virtual technology, a network system virtualization technology that increases operational efficiency and boosts nonstop communications and scaled system bandwidth. Multichassis EtherChannel can be configured across StackWise Virtual members for high resiliency. Platinum-rated (greater than 90% efficient) AC and/or DC power supplies. Field-replaceable fan-tray units. Meraki cloud monitoring option.
