Description
Network Resiliency and High Availability
The C9500-24Q-E Cisco Catalyst 9500 24-port managed switch is designed to provide network resiliency and high availability. It includes features such as:
- Redundant power supplies and fans to ensure that the switch remains operational in the event of a failure
- Hot-swappable components for easy maintenance and replacement
- Cisco StackWise-480 technology for stacking multiple switches together to provide redundancy and increased performance
- Cisco Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) for fast recovery in the event of a link failure
- Advanced QoS, VLANs, and link aggregation for efficient and reliable network operation
Additionally, the C9500-24Q-E supports Cisco’s Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) and Network Assurance Engine (NAE) for end-to-end visibility, automation, and assurance. This provides network resiliency and high availability through automated network troubleshooting and remediation.
Power and Innovation of Ethernet Switch
The C9500-24Q-E Cisco Catalyst 9500 24-port managed switch is a powerful and innovative network device that is designed for enterprise and campus environments. The switch is built on the Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series platform, which delivers high performance, scalability, and security.
One of the key features of the C9500-24Q-E is its ability to support both wired and wireless connections, allowing for seamless integration with existing networks. Additionally, the switch is built with the Cisco IOS XE software, which provides advanced security features such as identity-based access control and threat defense.
The C9500-24Q-E also supports Cisco DNA Center, an automation and assurance platform that allows for easy network management and provisioning.
In terms of power, the switch is equipped with dual hot-swappable power supplies, which provide redundancy and ensure that the switch remains operational even in the event of a power failure.
Security and access control of 24-Ports Managed Switch
The C9500-24Q-E Cisco Catalyst 9500 24-port managed switch provides advanced security and access control features to protect the network from unauthorized access and malicious attacks. Some of the key security features include:
- IEEE 802.1X network login: This feature allows the switch to authenticate users before allowing them to access the network.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): ACLs can be used to filter network traffic based on source and destination IP addresses, ports, and other criteria, providing granular control over who can access specific resources on the network.
- DHCP Snooping: DHCP snooping is a security feature that helps protect against DHCP spoofing attacks by validating DHCP messages before granting IP addresses to clients.
- Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI): DAI can be used to prevent ARP spoofing attacks by validating ARP packets before updating the ARP table.
- Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption: These features provide secure remote management of the switch, protecting against eavesdropping and tampering.
- Network Admission Control (NAC): NAC can be used to ensure that only authorized and compliant devices are allowed to access the network.
These features help to secure the switch and the network and provide granular access control over the network resources.
