Description
The Cisco C9500-24Y4C-A is part of the Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series, Cisco’s flagship fixed-core switching platform designed for enterprise campus core and aggregation deployments. Built to support digital transformation, cloud applications, and modern enterprise infrastructures, it provides exceptional performance, security, and operational simplicity.
Equipped with 24 high-speed SFP28 ports supporting 1G, 10G, and 25G Ethernet connectivity, along with 4 QSFP28 uplink ports supporting 40G and 100G networking, the switch offers flexible high-bandwidth connectivity for enterprise campuses, data center edge environments, service providers, and large-scale business networks.
The included Network Advantage license unlocks advanced Layer 3 services including dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, IS-IS, advanced segmentation, multicast services, security policies, network automation, and enhanced analytics. These capabilities make the switch ideal for mission-critical applications requiring maximum availability and scalability.
Built on Cisco IOS XE, the Catalyst 9500 Series supports Software-Defined Access (SD-Access), Cisco DNA Center integration, StackWise Virtual technology, advanced telemetry, encrypted traffic analytics, and enterprise-class security capabilities. Advanced MACsec encryption and TrustSec technologies help secure data and protect critical network infrastructure.
The C9500-24Y4C-A is an ideal solution for enterprise campus cores, aggregation layers, financial institutions, government organizations, healthcare facilities, education campuses, and high-performance business networks requiring 25G and 100G connectivity.
