C9300-24T-E Description
C9300-24T-E identifies the 24-port, data-only member of the Cisco Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switch family, built for 10/100/1000 copper access and ordered with the Network Essentials perpetual license plus a matching Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA Essentials software subscription. It leaves the uplink medium open by shipping without a network module installed in its uplink bay, so a design that only needs Layer 2 switching, routed access with limited route scale, and 802.1X port security can add a module such as the C9300-NM-4G or C9300-NM-8X and stay on the lighter Essentials license rather than paying for advanced routing and segmentation features it will not use. The switch delivers 208 Gbps of switching capacity and a 154.76 Mpps forwarding rate on a default 350W AC supply with no PoE output, and it stacks with up to 8 units over StackWise-480 for 688 Gbps combined, with Cisco StackPower available for shared power across stack members. Network Essentials on this SKU covers Layer 2 forwarding, RIP and EIGRP Stub routing, OSPF up to 1000 routes, PVLAN, VRRP, and MACsec-128, which is the license ceiling that separates C9300-24T-E from the same hardware ordered as C9300-24T-A with Network Advantage.

Product Performance
Key Features
Network Essentials covers Layer 2 switching plus routed access with RIP, EIGRP Stub, and OSPF capped at 1000 routes, which is enough routing depth for an access-layer role that hands routing decisions to a distribution or core tier.
The unpopulated modular uplink bay accepts lower-cost options such as C9300-NM-4G (4x 1G) alongside higher options like C9300-NM-8X, so the uplink spend can be sized to match an Essentials-tier deployment rather than assuming a fiber upgrade is required.
802.1X, MACsec-128, CoPP, and model-driven telemetry are all included at the Essentials tier, so port-level authentication and basic visibility do not require the Advantage license.
Up to 8 C9300-24T-E units can join one StackWise-480 stack for 688 Gbps combined capacity, and every added member keeps the same Network Essentials tier rather than forcing a license upgrade as the closet grows.
StackPower lets up to 4 stacked C9300-24T-E members form a power-sharing ring, extendable to 8 members with the XPS-2200 external supply, so a unit that loses its own supply can keep drawing power from the ring instead of going offline until a replacement is installed.
Three field-replaceable fans rated for 20 cfm airflow run N+1 redundant on C9300-24T-E, so a single fan failure does not take the switch down, and the failed FAN-T2= module can be replaced in the field rather than returning the chassis for repair.
Application Scenarios
Deployed as an access-layer switch that forwards Layer 2 traffic and leaves routing, segmentation, and policy enforcement to an upstream distribution or core switch running Network Advantage.
Used in a branch wiring closet for desktop, VoIP handset, or point-of-sale copper connections where the access switch only needs basic VLAN and port-security controls, not VXLAN or MPLS segmentation.
Added to an existing StackWise-480 stack of C9300-24T-E units to grow port count in a closet that has no requirement for the automation or segmentation features reserved for Network Advantage.

- C9300-24T-E and C9300-24T-A run on the same hardware at the same 208 Gbps switching capacity and 350W AC data-only power profile, so the license tier is the only real ordering split; because Cisco’s ordering guide does not document an in-place upgrade PID from Network Essentials to Network Advantage on this hardware, a network that is expected to need VXLAN, Cisco TrustSec, or unrestricted OSPF/BGP scale within its service life should be ordered directly as C9300-24T-A instead of purchased as C9300-24T-E with a plan to upgrade later.
- C9300-48T-A carries the same Network Advantage tier, data-only 350W profile, and StackWise-480 stacking as C9300-24T-E, just at double the port count; a 24-port closet that only needs Essentials-level Layer 2 and routed access has no reason to size up to the 48-port, Advantage-tier C9300-48T-A unless port count alone is the driver.
- C9300-24P-A adds a 445W PoE+ budget on a heavier 715W AC default supply at the same 24-port count; a design running C9300-24T-E specifically because there is no PoE requirement should stay off the C9300-24P-A line rather than absorb the larger supply and Advantage-tier license for power sourcing it does not need.
- For deciding which SKU to order in this group, confirm whether the license ceiling is expected to stay at Network Essentials for the switch’s service life first, since that is what separates C9300-24T-E from all three Advantage-tier models here, then size port count and PoE need only if the answer is no; if Advantage-tier features or PoE become a requirement later, the correct move is a new hardware order rather than an in-place license change.
Selection Guide
1. When Advantage Features Force An Upgrade
Network Essentials on C9300-24T-E does not include VXLAN, Cisco TrustSec, MPLS, or unrestricted OSPF/BGP route scale; a design that turns out to need any of these segmentation or advanced routing features must move to C9300-24T-A, since Cisco’s ordering guide does not list an in-place upgrade PID from Essentials to Advantage on this hardware.
2. Empty Uplink Bay Needs A Module Decision
C9300-24T-E ships with an empty uplink bay, so the design must pick a network module such as C9300-NM-4G for four 1G SFP uplinks or C9300-NM-8X for 10G fiber; leaving the bay unfilled forces a C9300-NM-BLANK cover and no uplink path at all, so the module choice has to be settled as part of sizing this SKU.
3. Route Scale Ceiling At 1000 OSPF Routes
Network Essentials caps OSPF at 1000 routes on C9300-24T-E; a routed-access design that expects to exceed that route count at this switch needs to order C9300-24T-A instead, since the route ceiling is a license property, not a hardware limitation that a software upgrade alone can lift.
4. No Path To Add PoE On This Data-Only Chassis
C9300-24T-E carries no PoE budget on its default 350W supply; a deployment that later needs to power IP phones or access points at the same 24-port count has to move to C9300-24P-A instead, since the data-only chassis cannot be field-upgraded to source PoE.
5. Subscription Tier Follows The Hardware License
Cisco’s ordering guide requires the software subscription tier to match the Network Stack license tier at time of order, so a Cisco DNA or Cisco Catalyst Essentials subscription is the correct pairing for C9300-24T-E; pairing Advantage-tier subscription against this hardware is only permitted at renewal time, not on a new order.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Network module selection |
Confirm which uplink module (C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, or C9300-NM-2Y) is ordered alongside C9300-24T-E, or that C9300-NM-BLANK is used if none is needed. |
Without a module or blank cover, the uplink bay is left open and the required airflow path is not maintained. |
|
Software subscription tier match |
Confirm the Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA subscription ordered is Essentials tier, matching the Network Essentials hardware license. |
A mismatched Advantage subscription against Essentials hardware license does not align with Cisco’s ordering structure outside of renewal. |
|
Smart Account binding |
Confirm the target Smart Account and Virtual Account are set before the order is placed. |
Entitlements are recorded in Cisco Smart Software Manager and cannot activate correctly against the wrong account. |
|
Second power supply need |
Confirm whether a second PWR-C1-350WAC-P, PWR-C1-715WAC-P, or PWR-C1-1100WAC-P is required for supply redundancy. |
The chassis ships with only one supply installed; the second slot needs either a supply or a blank to maintain thermal design. |
|
Stack partner license tier |
Confirm any additional stack members share the same Network Essentials license tier. |
StackWise-480 stacking is only supported among C9300 members on the same license tier. |
