Product Overview

The Cisco Nexus 9508 is a high-performance, modular Layer 3 switch chassis designed for mission-critical enterprise and data center environments. Supporting up to 18 expansion slots and integrated with advanced management protocols such as SNMP (v1/2/3) and SSH-2, it provides unmatched scalability and operational visibility. With a 13U rack-mountable enclosure and support for up to 4096 VLANs, this switch allows flexible network segmentation and high availability in complex infrastructure setups.

This chassis supports technologies such as Weighted Round Robin (WRR), Quality of Service (QoS), and link aggregation (LACP), enabling seamless traffic prioritization and load balancing. Compliance with numerous IEEE standards, including 802.3ad, 802.1Q, and 802.3ae, ensures broad compatibility and future-proofing. Built-in redundancy with a hot-plug internal power supply enhances uptime, while robust authentication via RADIUS and TACACS+ secures access control.

From RDMA support and spanning tree variants (STP, RSTP, MSTP) to extensive environmental tolerance—operating from 32°F to 104°F—this Cisco Nexus 9508 offers the resilience, agility, and modularity demanded in today's dynamic data environments.
