Product overview Cisco Catalyst 9500X models • The Cisco Silicon One Q200 ASIC is purpose built for the next-generation network core plus edge switch. It is the first enterprise ASIC to offer speeds up to 12.8 Tbps full duplex with 8 Bpps of forwarding performance, while supporting high performance and full routing and switching capabilities without external memories. • The Cisco Silicon One Q200 ASIC is built on 7nm fabrication technology, capable of high performance while maintaining a low power footprint. • Up to 12.8 (switching ASIC capacity) Tbps switching capacity with 8 Bpps forwarding rate. • 80 MB of dedicated low-latency buffer, with up to 8 GB of HBM buffer for deep packet buffers. • Up to 28 native nonblocking 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 ports. • Up to 60 native nonblocking 10/25/50 Gigabit Ethernet SFP56 ports. • Up to 8 native nonblocking 40/100/200/400 Gigabit Ethernet QSFPDD ports. • Intel 2.3-GHz x86 CPU with 8 cores and 32 GB of DDR4 memory. • Up to 960 GB of SSD local storage for container-based application hosting (2x 10G KR ports). • Flexible routing (IPv4, IPv6, and multicast) tables, Layer 2 tables, Access Control List (ACL) tables, and Quality- of-Service (QoS) tables. • ASIC tables for switching scale up to 256,000 MAC addresses and routing scale up to 2 million routes. • Dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 and dynamic hardware forwarding table allocations, for ease of IPv4-to-IPv6 migration. • Hardware support for application hosting. • Hardware support for line-rate 256-bit 802.1ae MACsec and WAN-MACsec data encryption. • Cisco StackWise Virtual technology, a network system virtualization technology that increases operational efficiency and boosts nonstop communications and scaled system bandwidth. Multichassis EtherChannel can be configured across StackWise Virtual members for high resiliency. • Platinum-rated (90% efficient) 1500-watt AC and/or DC power supplies. • Field-replaceable, N+1 redundant fan-tray units, with added flexibility to choose the direction of airflow.
