Cisco Catalyst 9500 Switch in Qatar
The Cisco Catalyst 9500 is a fixed core and distribution switch built for high-speed enterprise backbones. Popular models include the C9500-48Y4C with 48 x 1/10/25G SFP28 ports and 4 x 40/100G uplinks, the C9500-24Y4C, and the C9500-32C with 32 x 100G QSFP28 ports and up to 6.4 Tbps of switching capacity.

For aggregating many 10G or 25G access uplinks, the C9500-48Y4C or C9500-24Y4C is common. For a 100G spine or core, the C9500-32C offers 32 x 100G ports. AstenAI reviews your port counts, optics and growth plans before recommending a model.
Yes. StackWise Virtual combines two Catalyst 9500 switches into one logical switch, so access stacks can connect with multichassis EtherChannel to both units. If one switch fails, traffic continues over the other, which is ideal for critical networks.
