We run two 9500-16X (as a virtual stack) with 16.9.2 as a router and concentrator at a smaller site. No problems so far, just runs. I'd agree with Steve about the ASIC Generations (UADP 2.0/3.0) though, better buy something with the 3.0 today.

We run the 16x and 40X. I honestly wouldn't buy them again since the other 9500 models use the UADP 3.0 ASIC and have better buffers. The UADP 2.0 9500 switches split the 32MB buffer into two 16MB buffers per core, well the UADP 3.0 9500 switches have 36M shared between both cores. I have heard that pricing between the 2.0 and 3.0 9500s is pretty close. I don't know why Cisco has ASICs that work different in the same switch series, just makes it hard to know what switch you are really getting. https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-9500-series-switches/white-paper-c11-741484.pdf From: cisco-nsp <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Michael Malitsky Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2019 9:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [c-nsp] Experience with 9500-16X ?
