Cisco Catalyst 9500 Deployment Templates
The C9500 switches can be deployed in different user-customized templates through the network which allows customizable ACL TCAM resources. Core template offers maximize system resources for unicast and multicast routing and security while SD-Access template maximizes system resources for security to support fabric deployment. Using Cisco catalyst 9500 switches in distribution template would maximizes system resources for MAC and security and finally applying NAT template will maximize the NAT configurations on the switch.
