The C9500X-60L4D-A is the Cisco Catalyst 9500X switch with 60 x 50 Gigabit Ethernet and 4 x 400 Gigabit Ethernet ports, shipped with the Network Advantage license. The 60 SFP56 ports run at 10, 25 or 50 Gigabit and the four QSFP-DD ports run at 40, 100, 200 or 400 Gigabit.
Eight of the SFP56 ports also accept 1 Gigabit optics, limited to SFP-1G-SX and SFP-1G-LH. With breakout cables the switch can reach 76 ports at 10 or 25 Gigabit (92 hardware capable) or 60 ports at 50 Gigabit.
The forwarding engine is a Q200 ASIC rated for up to 9.2 Tbps of switching capacity and 8 Bpps. MAC tables reach 256,000 addresses, IPv4 routes up to 2,000,000 and IPv6 routes up to 1 million. The switch carries 32 GB of DRAM and 32 GB of flash, supports 4,094 VLAN IDs, and holds up to 2 million Flexible NetFlow entries. It needs Cisco IOS XE 17.10.1 or later.
The chassis is 1 RU and measures 1.73 x 17.5 x 21.8 in. including fan tray handles. Power comes from C9K-PWR-1500WAC or C9K-PWR-1500WDC supplies, and cooling from a C9500X-FAN-1U-R or C9500X-FAN-1U-F tray. Total output is 3,412 BTU per hour and MTBF is 133,260 hours.
Network Essentials is the lower license tier. A 100G sibling in the same series is the C9500-32C-A.
