Cisco Catalyst 9000 is an innovative line of network switches designed for enterprise networks. These switches deliver the high performance, reliability, and security that organizations need to run applications and run everyday user traffic.
Catalyst 9000 switches are based on the advanced UADP and Silicon One architecture. They integrate a sophisticated IOS XE software system that offers a wide range of features and management options. The switch series features advanced technologies such as Power over Ethernet (PoE), which enables up to 100W for connected devices when using the UPoE standard.
With advanced security features such as Cisco TrustSec, you can easily implement security policies and control access rights on your network. Integrated monitoring, diagnostics, and configuration tools allow administrators to easily manage and tune the network environment. With automation support, you can quickly respond to changes in network traffic and ensure high availability of services. Catalyst 9000 Series switches are available in a variety of ranges that cover the basic connectivity requirements of end stations (Access layer) to the aggregation, core layer, which is tasked with rapidly switching and routing data packets across the enterprise network. The Catalyst 9000 includes the following switch series in various variants: 9200CX, 9200, 9300, 9400, 9500, 9600
