For C9500 high performance (C9500-24Y4C, C9500-48Y4C, C9500-32C, C9500-32QC) and C9500X switches, RFID tag is an optional selection. RFID tag can be opted out with the selection of C9500-RFID-NONE. RFID tag can be opted in by selecting C9500-RFID for C9500 high performance (C9500-24Y4C, C9500-48Y4C, C9500-32C, C9500-32QC) switches and C9500X-RFID for C9500X switches. UADP 2.0 based C9500-16X will continue to ship with RFID tags. Note: For C9500 high performance (C9500-24Y4C, C9500-48Y4C, C9500-32C, C9500-32QC) and C9500X switches, it is important to make the right selection for RFID opt in / opt out at the time of ordering. RFID cannot be installed later, if it is opted out at the time of ordering. Power supplies and fan tray The Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series Switches support dual 1+1 redundant power supplies (AC or DC). The switches ship with one power supply by default. The second power supply can be purchased at the time the switch is ordered or at a later time. If only one power supply is installed, it should always be in power supply bay #1. The Catalyst 9500 Series ship with up to five field-replaceable variable-speed fans. These have front-to-back airflow and can operate with up to one individual fan failure. The fan trays support fan-tray Online Insertion and Removal (OIR) and can support a maximum fan speed of up to 24,000 rpm. Catalyst 9500X models ship with six field-replaceable variable-speed fan units. By default these have front-to-back (port-side intake) airflow fan units. The switch also has the option to select six back-to-front (port-side exhaust) airflow fans (for reversible airflow: either front-to-back or back-to-front). This unique innovation enables the Catalyst 9500X to adjust the fan directions on the power supplies, based on preferred air flow. Note: All Catalyst 9500X fan units must be the same type (either front-to-back or back-to-front). Mix and match of fan trays (front-to-back or back-to-front) is not supported. Table 8.

The exact % of allocation will depend on specific IP/mask combinations. 7 Table Maximum. Shared hardware resource. Maximum ACEs depends on number and type of ACLs configured across various interface types. Important notes Directly-connected (or host) IP routes mean any /32 or /128 routes, including those are learned indirectly (clients attached to switch's own VLAN/SVI and those /32 prefixes learned over any routing protocols, such as over OSPF. Indirectly-connected (or advertised) IP routes are subnet routes with a prefix other than /32 or 128 (for example: /8, /16, /24, etc). UADP 2.0 based C9500-16X supports 32,000 adjacency in hardware. So, they can support up to ~32,000 directly attached clients (including all adjacency) in their own VLAN/SVI. UADP 3.0 based C9500-32C, 32QC, 24Y4C, and 48Y4C support 80,000 adjacency for SVI, with SDM template of distribution and 90,000 direct routes for all supported templates when a Layer 3 routed port is used. In both UADP 3.0 and S1 Q200 models, the exact hardware programming (hash efficiency) of IP/mask entries depends on the specific number and type of IP/mask prefixes. Flexible ASIC templates Cisco Catalyst 9000 series switches use flexible Software Database Manager (SDM) ASIC templates to enable universal deployments by leveraging the UADP’s ability to create resources to optimize table sizes for different places in the network. Based on how the switch is used in the network, an appropriate SDM ASIC template may be selected to configure the switch for specific features. Catalyst 9500X models Cisco Catalyst 9500X models support the following SDM ASIC templates ● Default (Core) ● Custom Table 17 describes the default SDM ASIC template for C9500X models. Table 17.

C9500X hashing efficiency has been improved in 17.12.2. 3 Per-prefix MPLS labels are limited to 62,000 on C9500X. Catalyst 9500 models The following SDM ASIC templates are supported on the Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series. ● Distribution: Maximizes system resources for MAC and security. ● Core: Maximizes system resources for unicast and multicast routing. ● SDA: Maximizes system resources to support fabric deployment. ● NAT: Maximizes system resources for Layer 3 and NAT for support collapsed core WAN deployments.

And it’s secure – you control what users can access. With Smart Licensing you get: ● Easy Activation: Smart Licensing establishes a pool of software licenses that can be used across the entire organization—no more PAKs (Product Activation Keys). ● Unified Management: My Cisco Entitlements (MCE) provides a complete view into all of your Cisco products and services in an easy-to-use portal, so you always know what you have and what you are using. ● License Flexibility: Your software is not node-locked to your hardware, so you can easily use and transfer licenses as needed. ● Smart Licensing Using Policy (SLUP): Enhanced version of Smart Licensing, with the overarching objective of providing a licensing solution that does not interrupt the operations of your network, rather, one that enables a compliance relationship to account for the hardware and software licenses you purchase and use. To use Smart Licensing, you must first set up a Smart Account on Cisco Software Central (software.cisco.com). For a more detailed overview on Cisco Licensing, go to cisco.com/go/licensingguide.

Managing licenses with Smart Accounts: Creating Smart Accounts by using the Cisco Smart Software Manager (SSM) enables you to manage your software licenses from a centralized website. You can set up Cisco SSM to receive daily email alerts and to be notified of expiring subscription licenses that you want to renew. You must order a Cisco DNA or Cisco Catalyst subscription term license in order to purchase a Catalyst 9500 Series switch. When the license term expires, you can either renew the add-on license to continue using it or deactivate the add-on license and then reload the switch to continue operating with the base license capabilities. Both the base and add-on licenses are also available for a 90-day evaluation period. An evaluation license is activated temporarily, without purchase. An expired evaluation license cannot be reactivated after reload.
