C9500-24Q-E Overview
The Cisco® Catalyst® 9500 Series Switches are the next generation of enterprise-class core and aggregation layer switches, supporting full programmability and serviceability. Based on an x86 CPU, the Catalyst 9500 Series is Cisco’s lead purpose-built fixed core and aggregation enterprise switching platform, built for security, IoT, and cloud. The switches come with a 4-core, 2.4-GHz CPU, 16-GB DDR4 memory, and 16-GB internal storage.
The Catalyst 9500 Series is the industry’s first purpose-built 40 Gigabit Ethernet line of switches targeted for the enterprise campus. These switches deliver unmatched table scale (MAC/route/ACL) and buffering for enterprise applications. The Catalyst 9500 Series includes nonblocking 40G Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP+) and 1G/10G Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP/SFP+) switches with granular port densities that fit diverse campus needs. The switches support advanced routing and infrastructure services (such as Multiprotocol Label Switching [MPLS] Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs, Multicast VPN [MVPN], and Network Address Translation [NAT]); software-defined access border capabilities (such as a host tracking database, cross-domain connectivity, and VPN Routing and Forwarding [VRF]-aware Locator/ID Separation Protocol [LISP]); and network system virtualization with Cisco StackWise® virtual technology that are critical for their placement in the campus core. The platform also supports all the foundational high-availability capabilities such as patching, Graceful Insertion and Removal (GIR), Cisco Nonstop Forwarding with Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO), redundant platinum-rated power supplies, and fans.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Cisco C9500-24Q-E available refurbished? +
Yes. This page lists the refurbished condition currently available from BuyRouterSwitch. Availability can change, especially for bulk orders.
Can I request bulk pricing for C9500-24Q-E? +
Yes. Businesses, resellers, MSPs, government buyers and procurement teams can request custom quantity pricing.
Does BuyRouterSwitch ship C9500-24Q-E internationally? +
BuyRouterSwitch ships enterprise IT hardware to customers in the United States and international markets, subject to destination and product restrictions.
What are the primary performance capabilities of the Cisco C9500-24Q-E switch? +
The C9500-24Q-E is designed for high-performance campus core and aggregation environments. It features 24 fixed 40G QSFP+ ports, providing high-density throughput for bandwidth-intensive applications. Built on Cisco's specialized ASIC architecture, it delivers wire-rate switching performance and advanced Layer 3 routing protocols, ensuring low latency and massive scalability for modern enterprise networks requiring heavy data traffic management.
Does the C9500-24Q-E support advanced routing features out of the box? +
This model ships with the Network Essentials license, which provides a comprehensive suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features. It supports static routing, RIP, EIGRP, and OSPF for basic enterprise-grade connectivity. If your deployment requires more advanced capabilities like BGP, MPLS, or complex WAN edge routing, you may consider an upgrade to the Network Advantage license later.
Can the Cisco C9500-24Q-E be utilized as a Layer 2 switch? +
Yes, while the C9500-24Q-E is highly capable as a Layer 3 core switch, it fully supports Layer 2 functionality. You can configure VLANs, trunking, and Spanning Tree protocols just as you would on a standard access-layer switch. This flexibility allows the device to handle both high-speed switching and routing segments within your server farm or data center aggregation layer.
How do I manage and configure the Catalyst 9500 24-port 40G switch? +
Management is performed through the Cisco IOS XE operating system, which offers a familiar CLI for experienced engineers. Additionally, it supports programmable interfaces, including RESTCONF and NETCONF, facilitating automated deployment and orchestration via Cisco DNA Center or other SDN controllers. This ensures seamless integration into modern, intent-based network management workflows.
What are the physical deployment requirements for the C9500-24Q-E? +
The C9500-24Q-E is designed for standard 19-inch rackmount installation, occupying 1 rack unit (1RU) of space. Given the high-density 40G throughput, ensure your rack environment provides adequate front-to-back airflow and sufficient clearance for high-speed fiber cable management. Its compact form factor makes it an ideal choice for space-constrained server rooms or high-density distribution closets.
What type of transceivers are compatible with the 40G ports on this switch? +
The 24 ports on the C9500-24Q-E utilize QSFP+ form factors. It supports a variety of Cisco-certified 40G transceivers, including SR4, LR4, and BiDi optics, as well as Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables for short-reach, high-speed interconnects within the rack. Always consult the Cisco Optics Compatibility Matrix to verify specific part numbers for your required reach and media type.
Is the C9500-24Q-E suitable for high-availability enterprise environments? +
Designed for maximum uptime, this switch supports redundant power supplies and fans. Its robust hardware architecture ensures operational stability in demanding core environments. By leveraging features like StackWise Virtual or standard FHRP protocols such as HSRP/VRRP, the C9500-24Q-E provides the resilience required to eliminate single points of failure in mission-critical network topologies.
What security features are built into the C9500-24Q-E? +
Security is integrated at the hardware level through Trust Anchor Technologies and secure boot processes. The switch supports comprehensive features like Access Control Lists (ACLs), control plane policing (CoPP), and DHCP snooping to protect your network infrastructure. These tools effectively mitigate internal and external threats, ensuring that traffic remains isolated and authenticated across your core network.
