Description
More Information of this Item
The Cisco Catalyst 9500 40-port SFP+ switch is a high-performance, modular, and scalable switch designed for enterprise and service provider networks. It supports 40 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-X) using SFP+ transceivers and is capable of supporting Layer 3 routing protocols, such as OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP, allowing for creation of complex network topologies.
This switch is also manageable, meaning it can be configured and monitored through a web-based interface or command-line interface. Additionally, it supports advanced features such as security, Quality of Service (QoS), and link aggregation. The model comes equipped with Cisco IOS XE software, which provides a rich set of features and capabilities for network management, automation and analytics
This model is a powerful and reliable solution for delivering high-bandwidth connectivity to data centers and other high-performance networks. With its advanced features and capabilities, it can help ensure that the network remains available, secure, and responsive to changing business needs. It also supports Cisco DNA (Digital Network Architecture) which allows for a more automated, software-driven network that can evolve and adapt to changing business needs.
Performance and Reliability
The Cisco Catalyst 9500 40-port SFP+ switch (C9500-40X-E) is designed for high performance and reliability, making it a great choice for enterprise and service provider networks.
In terms of performance, the switch supports 40 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-X) using SFP+ transceivers. It has a forwarding rate of up to 2.56 Tbps and a switching capacity of up to 5.12 Tbps. This allows it to handle high-bandwidth applications such as data center and cloud environments, as well as video and multimedia services. Additionally, the switch supports advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS) and link aggregation, which allow for efficient and effective traffic management.
In terms of reliability, the model is designed for high availability and scalability. It supports redundancy features such as dual redundant power supplies and fans, as well as dual supervisors for failover in case of a supervisor failure. Additionally, it supports software redundancy protocols such as Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) and Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) for seamless failover in the event of a routing failure.
Compliant Standards
The Cisco Catalyst 9500 40-port SFP+ switch (C9500-40X-E) is compliant with a number of industry standards to ensure compatibility and interoperability with other devices and networks. Some of the key compliant standards include:
- IEEE 802.3: This standard defines the physical layer and media access control (MAC) layer specifications for Ethernet. The switch is compliant with IEEE 802.3ae (10 Gigabit Ethernet), IEEE 802.3x (flow control), and IEEE 802.3ad (link aggregation).
- IEEE 802.1Q: This standard defines a method for tagging frames with a VLAN ID to allow for the creation of virtual LANs (VLANs) in a network. The switch supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging.
- IEEE 802.1D: This standard defines the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), which is used to prevent loops in a network by shutting down certain ports. The switch supports IEEE 802.1D STP.
- IEEE 802.1w: This standard defines the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which is an extension of STP that provides faster convergence in the event of a topology change. The switch supports IEEE 802.1w RSTP.
- IEEE 802.1s: This standard defines the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), which allows multiple VLANs to share a single STP instance. The switch supports IEEE 802.1s MSTP.
- IEEE 802.1AB: This standard defines the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), which is used to discover other devices on the network and learn about their capabilities. The switch supports IEEE 802.1AB LLDP.
- IEEE 1588: This standard defines the Precision Time Protocol (PTP), which is used to synchronize clocks in a network. The switch supports IEEE 1588 PTP.
- SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to manage and monitor network devices. The switch supports SNMP, which allows the switch to be managed and monitored by a network management system.
