Hi,
we are planning to purchase cisco 9500 (C9500-16X-2Q-A: Catalyst 9500 16-port 10G, 2-port 40G switch) as a core switch (2 qty) and cisco 9300 (C9300-48P-E: Catalyst 9300 48-port PoE+) as a access switch (2 qty).
kindly help me to understand about these switches series.
1. what is the interface type on C9500-16X-2Q-A (is it fixed copper interface or fiber interface, otherwise can we use transceivers based on over requirements, examlpe:- GLC-T= for 1G copper connection for management device, GLC-SX-MM for 1G for fiber interface).
2. how can we configure stacking on C9500-16X-2Q-A (as per my understanding there is no dedicated stack port and stack cable, by using 10G OR 40g interface we can able to configure virtual StackWise)
3. on C9500-16x switch two interface speed ports are available (16*10G & 2*40 G), is it fixed speed interface or can we connect 1G speed device on 10G port (is it auto negotiated and work on 1G?) and 400G port.
expecting your valuable advice.
