C9300L-24P-4X-A Description

C9300L-24P-4X-A is a compact, fixed-uplink member of the Catalyst 9300 family. It provides 24 × 1 Gb PoE+ downlinks (30 W per port) powered by a 715 W AC chassis, plus four built-in 10 G/1 G SFP+ uplinks for high-speed aggregation. A 128 Gbps non-blocking fabric delivers wire-speed forwarding at 95.23 Mpps, while StackWise-320 enables stacking up to eight units with 320 Gbps of stack bandwidth and < 50 ms fail-over. The Network Advantage license unlocks full Layer 3 routing, SD-Access segmentation, Encrypted Traffic Analytics, and open APIs for automation. With 8 GB DRAM/16 GB flash, a 16 MB packet buffer, and redundant, field-replaceable fans, this model is ideal for branch, SMB, and compact campus access deployments.

    Yes. Perpetual and Fast PoE ensure that connected devices stay powered even while the switch is rebooting or upgrading software.

  • Does C9300L-24P-4X-A include field‑replaceable stacking cables?

    Stacking cables are ordered separately to match your desired stack topology and distance. Choose 50 cm, 1 m, or 3 m StackWise cables for the C9300L-24P-4X-A.

  • How do I license additional features on C9300L-24P-4X-A?

    Use Cisco Smart Licensing to activate DNA Advantage or Premier subscriptions; the C9300L-24P-4X-A registers with Cisco Smart Account over the internet or through an on‑premises satellite.

  • Can I upgrade the C9300L-24P-4X-A software in service?

    Cisco ISSU (In‑Service Software Upgrade) allows you to update the C9300L-24P-4X-A's IOS XE image with minimal traffic disruption when configured in a stack.

  • Is the C9300L-24P-4X-A 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.

  • What kind of power supplies can C9300L-24P-4X-A accommodate?

    The C9300L-24P-4X-A ships with a field‑replaceable AC power supply and supports redundant secondary units. You can mix AC, DC, or HVAC/HVDC supplies depending on installation needs.

  • Can C9300L-24P-4X-A terminate network‑level encryption like MACsec?

    Yes. Line‑rate 256‑bit MACsec encryption is available on all downlink and uplink ports of the C9300L-24P-4X-A with the appropriate license.

  • What environmental specs should I consider for C9300L-24P-4X-A?

    Operate the C9300L-24P-4X-A between 0 °C and 45 °C and below 5000 ft altitude for full PoE load; derate operating temperature above that elevation.

  • Can I stack the C9300L-24P-4X-A with other Catalyst 9300 models?

    Yes. The C9300L-24P-4X-A supports Cisco StackWise technology, letting you combine up to eight Catalyst 9300 family switches into a single logical unit for higher throughput and simplified management.

  • What is the maximum stack bandwidth for C9300L-24P-4X-A?

    All Catalyst 9300 non‑X models, including the C9300L-24P-4X-A, deliver up to 480 Gbps of stack bandwidth; X‑series variants offer up to 1 Tbps.
