Keep your Catalyst 9500 environment covered with Cisco SMARTnet Extended Service, delivered as an 8x5xNext Business Day exchange plan. For enterprise switching, the difference between a delayed repair and a next-business-day replacement can be the difference between a contained incident and a wider outage. This service is designed for infrastructure teams that value speed, clarity, and vendor accountability.

It is a strong fit for organizations running critical access or aggregation layers on Catalyst 9500 platforms, where uptime expectations are high and maintenance windows are limited.
