Original C9500 series 32-port 40/100G Network Advantage Switch C9500-32QC-A

The Cisco C9500-32QC-A is an enterprise-grade switch designed for high-performance networking. Boasting

robust security features, advanced network management capabilities, and seamless integrations, the C9500

series, including the c9500-32qc-a model, is tailored for modern enterprise environments requiring

top-of-the-line connectivity and efficiency. This switch stands out with its ability to support sophisticated

network infrastructures while ensuring reliable, scalable, and resilient performance.

Table 1 shows the Quick Specs.

Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series switches based on Cisco Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) Application-Specific Integrated

Circuit (ASIC) are Cisco’s lead fixed enterprise core and aggregation switching platform and as part of the Catalyst

9000 family, are built to transform your network to handle a hybrid world where the workplace is anywhere, endpoints

could be anything, and applications are hosted all over the place.

Cisco Catalyst 9500X switch based on Cisco Silicon One Q200 ASIC is purpose built for the next generation core with a

programmable pipeline (P4) and is the first network silicon to offer switching capacity up to 12.8 Tbps full duplex in the

enterprise. The Q200 ASIC offers high-performance along with full routing and switching capabilities without external

memories. This is enabled by internal architecture that includes an on-chip High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). The

Catalyst 9500X switch leverages a high- performance multiple core x86 CPU, and is Cisco’s leading purpose-built

fixed core and edge services enterprise switching platform, built for security, IoT, and cloud.

Cisco Catalyst 9500X switch is the industry’s first purpose-built fixed 10, 25, 50, 40, 100, 200 and 400 Gigabit Ethernet

switch targeted for the enterprise campus. The Catalyst 9500X switch delivers unmatched forwarding scale (MAC addresses,

IP unicast and multicast routes, MPLS labels) and deep buffering for enterprise applications. The Catalyst 9500X models

includes non-blocking 50 Gigabit Ethernet Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP-56) and non-blocking 400 Gigabit Ethernet

Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Double Density (QSFP-DD) ports.

C9500-32QC: Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series high-performance switch with 32x 40 or 16x100 Gigabit Ethernet

The Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series Switches support optional network modules for uplink ports on some of the configurations.

The default switch configuration does not include the network module. When you purchase the switch, you can choose from

the network modules described in Tables 2 and 3.
