Frequently Asked Questions
What switching capacity and forwarding performance does the Cisco N9K-C95C93-B28Q offer?
The Cisco Catalyst 9500 series delivers up to 6.4 Tbps switching capacity with up to 2 Bpps of forwarding performance, making it suitable for high-demand enterprise environments. This exceptional throughput is powered by the Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) ASIC with its programmable pipeline and microengine capabilities. We offer this model as part of our comprehensive Cisco networking portfolio at barcodesinc.com.
What port configurations are available on this Cisco Nexus switch?
The N9K-C95C93-B28Q supports multiple high-speed port options including up to 32 nonblocking 100 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 ports, up to 32 nonblocking 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports, up to 48 nonblocking 25 Gigabit Ethernet SFP28 ports, and up to 48 nonblocking 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports. This flexible port configuration allows you to scale your network infrastructure according to your specific bandwidth requirements. Contact us today to discuss the right port configuration for your environment.
Does this switch support application hosting and container-based deployments?
Yes, the Cisco Catalyst 9500 includes hardware support for application hosting with an Intel 2.4-GHz x86 CPU and up to 120 GB of USB 3.0 or up to 960 GB of SATA SSD storage for container-based application hosting. This enables you to run network applications directly on the switch, reducing the need for separate compute resources. Visit barcodesinc.com to learn more about deploying this advanced capability in your network.
What Layer 3 routing and security features are included?
The switch provides comprehensive Layer 3 routing support including IPv4, IPv6, and multicast routing with up to 1024 Layer 3 interfaces, 64-way Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP), and support for static, RIPv2, EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP protocols. Security features include ingress and egress ACLs with 4096 ACL entries, VLAN-based ACLs (VACLs), port-based ACLs (PACLs), and standard/extended layer 3-4 filtering. We offer complete configuration support through our team at barcodesinc.com.
What time synchronization and precision timing capabilities does this switch provide?
The Cisco N9K-C95C93-B28Q includes Precision Time Protocol (PTP; IEEE 1588v2) support that provides accurate clock synchronization with sub-microsecond accuracy, making it ideal for distribution and synchronization of time and frequency across your network. Additionally, IEEE 802.1ba AV Bridging (AVB) is built-in to provide improved time synchronization and QoS for audio/video applications. Contact us today for deployment guidance on time-sensitive network applications.
What redundancy and link aggregation technologies are supported?
The switch supports Cisco EtherChannel technology with up to 24 ports per EtherChannel, LACP (IEEE 802.3ad and IEEE 802.1ax), and virtual Port Channel (vPC) for advanced link aggregation and redundancy. Spanning tree features include Rapid Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVRST+), MSTP with 64 instances, PortFast, Root Guard, and Bridge Assurance for network resilience. Available from us at barcodesinc.com with full technical support for implementation.
