C9300-24T-A Description

C9300-24T-A
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-24T-A is the lead fixed enterprise switching platform built for security, IoT, and cloud. As the high-end modular uplink model in the Catalyst 9300 family, it features 24 Gigabit Ethernet data ports and a modular expansion slot that supports swappable network modules ranging from 1G to 40G. This modularity allows organizations to adapt their uplink bandwidth as network traffic grows, without replacing the entire switch chassis.

Equipped with the Network Advantage software license, this switch offers the most comprehensive set of enterprise features available, including full Layer 3 routing (BGP, MPLS), Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA), and complete SD-Access fabric capabilities. Powered by the UADP 2.0 ASIC and an x86 CPU, the C9300-24T-A provides programmable pipeline capabilities and supports container-based application hosting. With StackWise-480 technology, it delivers 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth, ensuring the highest level of scale and resiliency for mission-critical networks.

Selection Guide

  • Engineering Requirement for Modular Uplinks
    Choose this C9300 modular model over the C9300L fixed model if you anticipate bandwidth growth. The ability to swap the uplink module allows you to migrate from 1G to 10G, 25G, or 40G without replacing the switch, protecting your investment.
  • Requirement for Full Core Routing
    Select this Advantage (-A) model if the switch needs to act as a core or distribution node running BGP or MPLS. The Essentials (-E) model is limited to basic access routing and cannot handle complex WAN peering or segmentation.
  • High-Density Stacking Needs
    If you are building a large stack, this model offers StackWise-480 (480 Gbps bandwidth), which is significantly faster than the StackWise-320 found in the C9300L series. This is critical for preventing bottlenecks in high-traffic aggregation scenarios.
  • Rightsizing for Data Only
    Ideal for connecting non-powered devices like servers or lab computers. This model provides all the premium modular capabilities of the C9300 platform but eliminates the cost and power consumption of PoE hardware that would otherwise go unused.

Questions & Answers

  • What is Cisco C9300-24T-A used for?

    Cisco C9300-24T-A is used for 24-port Gigabit copper access where endpoints have their own power and the switch needs modular uplinks plus Network Advantage licensing. It fits wiring closets that need stronger Layer 3 and policy capability without paying for unused PoE hardware.
  • Does C9300-24T-A support PoE?

    No. C9300-24T-A is a data-only 24-port RJ-45 switch and does not provide PoE to phones, cameras, or access points. If endpoint power is required, compare it with C9300-24P-A or C9300-24U-A.
  • How is C9300-24T-A different from C9300-24T-E?

    C9300-24T-A and C9300-24T-E share the same 24-port data-only hardware profile, but C9300-24T-A ships with Network Advantage while C9300-24T-E ships with Network Essentials. Choose the A SKU when advanced routing or policy features are required from the start.
  • What uplink options can C9300-24T-A use?

    C9300-24T-A uses Catalyst 9300 modular uplink network modules, so uplink choices can include 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, or multigigabit options depending on the installed module. That flexibility is a key reason to choose this model over fixed-uplink switches.
  • Can C9300-24T-A be stacked?

    Yes. C9300-24T-A supports StackWise-480 and StackPower, making it suitable for access stacks that need simplified management and power resiliency. Stack planning should keep the models, software release, and uplink modules consistent.
  • Is C9300-24T-A a good switch for routed access?

    Yes. C9300-24T-A is a stronger routed-access choice than the E version because Network Advantage enables more Layer 3 and policy capability. It is useful when the access layer participates in more than basic Layer 2 switching.
  • What power supply is typical for C9300-24T-A?

    C9300-24T-A is commonly ordered with a 350W AC power supply because it does not reserve power for PoE endpoints. Buyers planning redundant power should verify the second power supply and StackPower design separately.
  • When is C9300-24T-A not the best choice?

    C9300-24T-A is not the best choice when the closet needs PoE, 48 copper ports, multigigabit access, or a lower software tier. C9300-24P-A, C9300-48T-A, C9300-24UX-A, or C9300-24T-E may fit those cases better.
