Cisco C9500-24Y4C-A Catalyst 9500 Series Layer 3 Switch – 24-Port 25G + 4-Port 100G – Managed Enterprise Switch

Product Overview

Cisco C9500-24Y4C-A -The Cisco C9500 Series Layer 3 Switch is a high-end enterprise-level network switch that is designed to serve as a core and distribution layer at a campus or data center network. This model is designed to provide high-density 25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and ultra-high 100-G uplinks that allow the scalability, resilience, and security of current business enterprises.

It is developed based on the Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) 2.0 architecture of Cisco, which provides a significant level of programmability, automation, and visibility to Cisco DNA Center, which allows streamlining operations and simplifying management. It supports complete Layer 2 and Layer 3 with advanced routing protocols like BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, and IS-IS, and MPLS and VXLAN to be used in complex network architecture.

With 24 x 25G SFP28 ports and 4 x 100G QSFP28 uplink ports, the C9500-24Y4C-A is the fastest and most flexible campus core aggregation and high-performance workload switch. It is also compatible with StackWise Virtual technology, which offers redundancy and ease of management by virtually assembling several switches.

It is an enterprise-level switch with nonstop capabilities, with redundant power resources, front-to-back airflow, and a wide range of security features such as MACsec encryption, Secure Boot, and a Trust Anchor module.
