Questions & Answers

  • What is the C8300-2N2S-6T designed for?

    A modular Catalyst 8300 edge platform for medium branches, combining fixed ports with slots for WAN/LAN modules and strong crypto performance for SD-WAN.

  • How does it compare to C8300-2N2S-4T2X?

    6T emphasizes more fixed copper access; 4T2X adds higher-speed uplinks. Choose based on access density versus uplink speed requirements at the branch.

  • Does it support SD-WAN and classic routing?

    Yes. IOS XE enables either mode with appropriate licenses, letting you start traditionally and later move to full SD-WAN.

  • What PoE or module options exist?

    Depending on SKU, you can add network modules or PoE-capable switches downstream; confirm exact module support for desired interfaces or LTE options.

  • How should I secure a multi-service branch?

    Segment users/IoT with VRFs/VLANs, enable 802.1X at the edge, use ZBFW and IPsec, and enforce app-aware policies for cloud traffic.

  • What HA options are common?

    Dual WAN transports, cellular backup, redundant power (where supported), and first-hop redundancy toward LAN gateways.

  • Typical deployment scenarios?

    Retail HQ branches, healthcare clinics, and distributed offices consolidating security, WAN, and routing in one platform.

  • What about observability?

    Use SD-WAN analytics, NetFlow/telemetry, and syslog; baseline before change windows and track KPIs after rollout.
