Cisco Catalyst 9000 switches are designed for an entirely new era of networking. Now your network can learn, adapt, and evolve.
The Catalyst family includes a critical part of an integrated security architecture—one that works before, during, and after a threat occurs, to reduce attack surface, detect malware and threats, and rapidly contain those threats.
An intuitive network recognizes intent, mitigates threats through segmentation and encryption, and learns over time. Unlock opportunities, enhance security, improve business agility, and increase operational efficiencies.
Get unmatched scale with the Catalyst 9000 family. Catalyst switches offer flexibility, with speeds from 1 Gigabit Ethernet to Multigigabit 1, 2.5, 5, 10 Gbps, 25 GE, 40 GE, and 100 GE. Catalyst controllers scale for higher-density wireless networks that serve more clients, including IoT.
Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series of enterprise-class access switches switches extend the power of intent-based networking and Catalyst 9000 hardware and software innovation to a broader set of deployments. Compared to the scale and feature richness the of Catalyst 9300 Series switches, Catalyst 9200 Series switches focus on offering right-sized switching for simple branch deployments. With its family pedigree, Catalyst 9200 Series offers simplicity without compromise – it is secure, always on and provides a new level of IT simplicity.
These switches also support full IEEE 802.3at PoE+, fixed and modular options with field-replaceable network modules, redundant fans, and power supplies and a variety of uplink modules.
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches are the next generation of enterprise-class stackable access-layer switches that are part of the Cisco Catalyst 9000 switching family. These switches also support full IEEE 802.3at PoE+, Cisco UPOE, modular and field-replaceable network modules, redundant fans, and power supplies. In addition, Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series models support a variety of uplink modules for both copper and fiber uplink support. These models add even more flexibility to the interface choices that you can make in a single Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switch or in a stack of Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches.
Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches are the next generation of enterprise-class modular access and aggregation switches that are part of the Cisco Catalyst 9000 family. These switches provide unparalleled investment protection with a centralized switching architecture that is capable of supporting up to 9 Tbps system bandwidth and unmatched perpetual PoE power delivery. The family of switches delivers state-of-the-art high availability with capabilities such as NSF/SSO, In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU), uplink resiliency, and N + 1/N + N redundancy with modular power supplies.
A single system can scale up to 384 ports with a wide choice of PoE+, Cisco UPOE, and data options. In addition, the series supports 1 Gbps Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP), 10 Gbps (SFP+) and 25 Gbps (SFP28) line cards for aggregation deployments.
With several unique innovations such as modular power supply, dual serviceable fan tray, Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series switches sets a new bar for enterprise modular access network deployments.
Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series switches are the next generation of enterprise-class fixed-core and aggregation layer switches that are part of the Cisco Catalyst 9000 family. These switches come with 4- core 2.4-GHz CPU, 16-GB DDR4 memory, and up to 120 GB of USB 3.0 or 960 GB of SATA SSD storage for container-based application hosting.
Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series switches are the industry’s first 100, 40 and 25 Gigabit Ethernet feature-rich switches targeted for the enterprise campus, delivering unmatched table scales (MAC, route, and Access Control List [ACL]) and buffering for enterprise applications. The platform offers nonblocking 100 Gbps Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP28), 40 Gbps (QSFP), 25 Gbps (SFP28) and 10 Gbps (SFP+) switches with granular port densities that fit diverse campus needs. The Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series supports advanced routing and infrastructure services (MPLS Layer 2 and 3 VPNs, IP Multicast VPN [MVPN], and Network Address Translation [NAT]), SD-Access border capabilities (host tracking database, cross-domain connectivity, and Virtual Route Forwarding [VRF]-aware LISP), and network system virtualization with Cisco StackWise® Virtual technology (select models) that are critical for placement in the campus core.
