C9300-NM-8X Description

C9300-NM-8X network module instantly equips a Cisco Catalyst 9300 (and legacy 3850) chassis with eight 10-Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports. Installed tool-free into the front Type-1 bay, it delivers an aggregate 80 Gbps full-duplex bandwidth without requiring a chassis restart. Each cage supports 10GBASE-SR/LR/ER/ZR, copper 10G-T, or 1 G SFP optics, allowing flexible fiber or copper backbones. The module inherits all Secure Boot, Trust Anchor, and MACsec capabilities of the host switch and needs no additional licence—IOS XE auto-discovers the ports on insertion.

Installing C9300-NM-8X Network Module Procedure

  • Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to an earth ground surface.
  • Remove the module from the protective packaging.
  • Remove the blank module from the switch and save it.
  • Position the module face up to install it in the module slot. Slide the module into the slot until the screw makes contact with the chassis. Fasten the captive screws to secure the network module in place.

Questions & Answers

  • How does C9300-NM-8X perform in high‑density Wi‑Fi 6 deployments?

    Combined 10/25 Gbps uplinks, mGig access ports on certain variants, and advanced QoS make the C9300-NM-8X ideal for aggregating Wi‑Fi 6/6E access‑point traffic.

  • Can I field‑replace the fans on C9300-NM-8X without downtime?

    Yes—fan trays are hot‑swappable. You can replace a failed fan while the C9300-NM-8X remains in service.

  • What is the typical boot time for C9300-NM-8X?

    From cold start to forwarding state, the C9300-NM-8X takes roughly 2 ½ minutes, depending on installed modules and PoE negotiation.

  • Is the C9300-NM-8X UL or CE certified for safety?

    The switch meets UL/CSA 60950‑1/62368‑1, CE Mark, and other global safety standards, making it suitable for worldwide deployment.

  • Can I use the C9300-NM-8X in a distribution‑layer role?

    While primarily an access switch, the C9300-NM-8X's high stacking bandwidth and optional 10/25G uplinks allow it to serve small campus distribution layers where moderate aggregation throughput is sufficient.

  • Is C9300-NM-8X manageable through Cisco DNA Center?

    Absolutely. The C9300-NM-8X integrates with Cisco DNA Center for zero‑touch provisioning, policy automation, assurance, and software image management.

  • How much PoE power budget does C9300-NM-8X provide?

    The available power budget depends on installed supplies; with dual 715 W supplies the C9300-NM-8X can deliver up to 437 W PoE+ or 384 W UPOE, enough for most access‑point and IP‑phone deployments.

  • What is the maximum stack bandwidth for C9300-NM-8X?

    All Catalyst 9300 non‑X models, including the C9300-NM-8X, deliver up to 480 Gbps of stack bandwidth; X‑series variants offer up to 1 Tbps.

  • What is the warranty coverage for C9300-NM-8X?

    Cisco provides the C9300-NM-8X with a Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty, next‑business‑day hardware replacement, and 90‑day Cisco TAC support.

  • Does the C9300-NM-8X support redundant supervisors?

    No. Catalyst 9300 switches employ a single CPU architecture; resiliency is achieved through StackWise and dual power supplies.

  • What SD‑Access features does C9300-NM-8X enable?

    Integrated hardware support for VXLAN, LISP, and TrustSec lets the C9300-NM-8X function as an SD‑Access fabric edge or border node.

  • Which uplink modules are compatible with C9300-NM-8X?

    The C9300-NM-8X uses a modular network module slot supporting 1G/10G/25G options. Cisco network modules such as C9300-NM-2Y, C9300-NM-4G, or C9300X-NM-2C can be selected based on required bandwidth.
