Cisco Catalyst 9500 Switches

The Cisco Catalyst 9500 switches, which replaced the venerable Catalyst 6800 and 4500X Series, is the highest-end model of Cisco’s enterprise-class core and aggregation layer switches. These potent fixed-configuration devices transform the deployment of network infrastructure by offering previously unheard-of performance in a small form factor.
The Catalyst 9500 switches, which are designed with ASIC technology, have non-blocking 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and remarkable throughput capabilities. Numerous issues that beset earlier generations are resolved by their architectural redesign, especially with regard to scalability and power efficiency. Even in the face of severe traffic, the switch fabric’s exceptional resilience allows for sustained wire-speed performance.

Cisco Catalyst 9500 Summary
The 9500’s backward compatibility helps organizations moving from legacy infrastructure while giving them access to Cisco’s cutting-edge Software-Defined Access architecture. This lowers operational complexity by enabling automated provisioning, simplified network segmentation, and policy enforcement.
