Product Overview

The Cisco Catalyst 9500 32-Port 100G (C9500-32C-E) switch is engineered for the digital enterprise core, delivering exceptional throughput and scalability. With 32 x 100G QSFP28 ports, it supports a full-duplex switching capacity of 6.4 Tbps and a forwarding rate of 2 billion packets per second. Designed for high-density environments, this 1U rack-mount switch is built to handle demanding data traffic with high reliability and flexibility.

The device offers comprehensive Layer 3 routing protocol support including OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, EIGRP, and MPLS, as well as robust QoS, security, and multicast capabilities. It features a high-capacity MAC address table (64K), 16 GB RAM, 16 GB flash memory, and an internal hot-pluggable 1600W power supply with 1+1 optional redundancy. Additional built-in technologies like MACsec encryption, VLAN Double Tagging, VRFs, and integrated Wireshark enhance network segmentation and visibility.

Ideal for enterprise backbone uplinks and data center interconnects, the Catalyst 9500 ensures uptime with advanced redundancy support and long mean time between failures (MTBF of over 212,000 hours). It includes Cisco IOS XE 16.8.1, SNMP/RESTCONF/NAT/NMS capability, and is TAA compliant. With a wide operating range and extensive standards compliance, it integrates smoothly into most secured and regulated network architectures.
