Description
The Cisco C9500-24Y4C-E is part of the Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series, Cisco’s next-generation fixed-core switching platform designed for enterprise campus core and aggregation deployments. Built to support digital transformation initiatives, cloud applications, and high-density enterprise environments, it delivers exceptional performance, security, and operational simplicity.
Featuring 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 provides flexible, high-bandwidth connectivity for enterprise campuses, data center edge environments, and large-scale business networks.
The Network Essentials license enables advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities including static routing, OSPF, VRF Lite, multicast services, network segmentation, and comprehensive traffic management. Running Cisco IOS XE, the switch supports programmability, automation, telemetry, and seamless integration with Cisco DNA Center.
The C9500-24Y4C-E supports StackWise Virtual technology, enabling two physical switches to operate as a single logical switch for improved resiliency, simplified management, and higher availability. Advanced security features such as MACsec encryption, TrustSec, Secure Boot, and ACL policies help protect critical network infrastructure.
Ideal for enterprise campus cores, aggregation layers, government organizations, financial institutions, healthcare facilities, and high-performance business networks, the Catalyst 9500 delivers reliable, scalable, and future-ready networking.
