Up to 512,000 Flexible NetFlow (FNF) entries in hardware

Up to 36 MB of unified buffer per ASIC

Up to 212,000 routing entries (IPv4/IPv6) for high-end campus core and aggregation deployments

IPv6 support in hardware, providing wire-rate forwarding for IPv6 networks

IEEE 802.1ba AV Bridging (AVB) built in to provide a better AV experience through improved time synchronization and QoS

Precision Time Protocol (PTP; IEEE 1588v2) provides accurate clock synchronization with sub-microsecond accuracy, making it suitable for distribution and synchronization of time and frequency over the network

Dual-stack support for IPv4/IPv6 and dynamic hardware forwarding table allocations, for ease of IPv4-to-IPv6 migration

Support for both static and dynamic NAT and Port Address Translation (PAT)

Scalable routing (IPv4, IPv6, and multicast) tables and Layer 2 tables

Cisco IOS XE Software, a modern operating system for the enterprise with support for model-driven programmability, on-box Python scripting, streaming telemetry, container-based application hosting, and patching for critical bug fixes. The OS also has built-in defenses to protect against

runtime attacks

StackWise Virtual technology, a network system virtualization technology that increases operational efficiency and boosts nonstop communications and scaled system bandwidth

SD-Access: With the Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series, you can be part of the future of networking with features that include:

Policy-based automation from edge to cloud

Segmentation and micro-segmentation made easy, with predictable performance and scalability

Automation and network assurance through the Cisco DNA Center Appliance

Faster launch of new business services and significantly improved issue resolution time

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

Advanced security:

Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA): You benefit from the power of machine learning to identify and take actions toward threats or anomalies in your network, including malware detection in encrypted traffic and distributed anomaly detection. Additionally, ETA is able to detect vulnerable implementations in encrypted traffic

Support for AES-256 with the powerful MACsec 256-bit encryption algorithm available on all models

Trustworthy solutions: Secure Unique Device Identification (SUDI) support for Plug and Play, enabling tamper-proof device identity capability, which secures zero-touch provisioning by allowing your device to show a certificate to the server to be able to get onto your network
