C8500-12X4QC Overview
Count active ports, not just connectors
C8500-12X4QC belongs to the Catalyst 8500 family. Its interface options are subject to a 240GE simultaneous-port limit. The individual maxima in a port-density table cannot be added together as though every connector operates at its highest speed at once.
Select a supported combination
Cisco lists four 40GE plus eight 10GE, or one 100GE plus twelve 10GE, among the permitted configurations. Record the required mix before ordering optics or allocating upstream ports.
Check the operating mode before using breakout
The datasheet describes up to 24 logical 10GE interfaces using 4×10GE breakout cables on 40GE ports, but explicitly excludes this option in SD-WAN mode. Do not base an SD-WAN design on that breakout count.
Quotation checklist
State the routing mode, software and license requirements, intended port map, optics, power arrangement and condition. Ask the supplier to identify each included item. Platform capability alone does not confirm a license or accessory entitlement.
