Cisco IOS XE

This modern operating system for the enterprise provides support for model-driven programmability, on-box Python scripting, streaming telemetry, container-based application hosting, and patching for critical bug fixes. Cisco IOSXE also has built-in defenses to protect against runtime attacks.

• Cisco Plug and Play (PnP) enabled: A simple, secure, unified, and integrated offering to ease new branch or campus device rollouts or updates to an existing network.
• Automated device provisioning: This is the ability to automate the process of upgrading software images and installing configuration files on Cisco Catalyst switches when they are being deployed in the network for the first time. Cisco provides both turnkey solutions such as Plug and Play (PnP) and off-the-shelf tools such as Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) that enable an effortless and automated deployment.
• API-driven configuration: Modern network switches such the Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series support a wide range of automation features and provide robust open APIs over Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF, RESTCONF and gNMI) using YANG data models for external tools, both off-the-shelf and custom built, to automatically provision network resources.
• Granular visibility: Model-driven telemetry provides a mechanism to stream data from a switch to a destination. The data to be streamed is driven through subscription to a data set in a YANG model. The subscribed data set is streamed out to the destination at configured intervals. Additionally, Cisco IOS XE enables the push model, which provides near- real-time monitoring of the network, leading to quick detection and rectification of failures.
• Seamless software upgrades and patching: To enhance OS resilience, Cisco IOS XE supports patching, which provides fixes for critical bugs and security vulnerabilities between regular maintenance releases. This support allows customers to add patches without having to wait for the next maintenance release.
• WebUI: Embedded GUI-based device-management tool that provides the ability to provision the device, to simplify device deployment and manageability and to enhance the user experience. WebUI comes with the default image. There is no need to enable anything or install any license on the device. You can use WebUI to build a day-1 configuration and from then on monitor and troubleshoot the device without having to know how to use the CLI.

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).

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 C9500-12Q, C9500-24Q, C9500-40X, and C9500-16X support 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 16 describes the default SDM ASIC template for C9500X models.

Table 16.       SDM template descriptions for C9500X models

Features	Default Template
MAC Addresses	128,000
IP Host Routes1	128,000
IP LPM Routes1 2	2,000,000
IP Multicast Routes1	32,000
IGMP/MLD Snooping1	16,000
MPLS Labels3	256,000
Security/Object Groups	32,000

QoS ACLs1	8,000
PBR/NAT4	16,000
GRE Tunnels	1,024
Sampled NetFlow entries1	2,000,000

¹ IPv4 and IPv6 entries coexist in the same tables, but IPv6 entries require two entries.

² LPM entries are stored as a hash and efficiency is dependent on the actual routes learnt. Overall hashing efficiency has been improved in 17.12.2 (Defect CSCwf91503). Consider upgrading to 17.12.2 if you are hitting limitations with route scale.

³ Per-prefix labels are divided into internal (iBGP) and external (eBGP).

⁴ Feature is not available at FCS, but will be available in future software releases.

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.

Custom ASIC templates

Catalyst 9500X Models (C9500X-28C8D and C9500X-60L4D)

Beginning with the Cisco IOS XE 17.7.1 release, a custom SDM template allows you to configure several features of the template based on your requirements and not the location of the device in the network.

Table 18.       Custom template FIB configurable values

Features	Default Value	Scale Values (Min – Max)	Step Units
MAC Addresses	128,000	32,0001 – 256,000	1,000

Security/Object Groups	32,000	02 – 64,000	1,000
Total Resources	608,000

¹ Critical features require a minimum allocation to insure operation. If a custom value if not defined, this value is used.

² Some (non-critical) features are allowed to have a 0 entry allocation, to allow increased allocation of other features.

³ Per-prefix labels are divided into internal (iBGP) and external (eBGP).

C9500-32C, C9500-32QC, C9500-24Y4C, C9500-48Y4C

Standard SDM templates can be used to configure system resources and optimize support for specific features. However SDM templates are defined based on how the device is deployed in the network.

Beginning with the Cisco IOS XE 17.3.1 release, a custom SDM template will allow you to configure the features of the template based on your requirements and not the location of the device in the network.

Licensing

Introduction to Smart Licensing

Cisco Smart Licensing is a flexible licensing model that provides you with an easier, faster, and more consistent way to purchase and manage software across the Cisco portfolio and across your organization. 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).

⁴ Need to order HSEC Key.

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.
