C9300-24T-E Description
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-24T-E is a high-performance, modular enterprise access switch designed for data-only environments that demand scalability and reliability without the complexity of core routing. As part of the Catalyst 9300 modular family, it features 24 Gigabit Ethernet data ports and a flexible expansion slot that supports swappable network modules ranging from 1G to 40G. This modularity ensures that the switch can adapt to changing bandwidth requirements, making it a future-proof investment for growing networks.
Powered by the robust UADP 2.0 ASIC and x86 CPU architecture, the C9300-24T-E delivers programmable pipeline capabilities and supports container-based application hosting. It runs on the Network Essentials license, providing foundational Layer 3 routing (OSPF Routed Access) and advanced security via Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA). With StackWise-480 technology, it offers an industry-leading 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth, enabling a highly resilient, unified management domain for critical business applications.

Key Features
Investment Protection. The defining feature of the C9300 series is its modular uplink slot. Unlike fixed switches, you can easily swap the network module to upgrade from 1G uplinks to 10G, 25G, or 40G as your network traffic increases. This allows you to extend the lifespan of the switch chassis significantly.
High-Speed Resiliency. Features the industry’s highest backplane stacking bandwidth at 480 Gbps. This allows up to 8 switches to function as a single logical unit with massive throughput, ensuring that cross-stack traffic never becomes a bottleneck and providing stateful switchover (SSO) for maximum uptime.
Optimized for Non-Powered Devices. Specifically engineered for connecting endpoints that have their own power sources, such as servers, printers, and desktop PCs. By removing the PoE hardware, this model lowers the initial purchase price and reduces ongoing power and cooling costs compared to PoE-capable models.
Proactive Threat Defense. Capable of Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA), the switch uses machine learning to identify malware signatures in encrypted traffic without decryption. It also features Trustworthy Systems (Secure Boot, Image Signing) to protect the hardware from tampering and counterfeiting.
Network Essentials. Includes the Network Essentials license, which provides key routing features such as Static Routing, RIP, and OSPF Routed Access. This enables the switch to handle local traffic routing between VLANs, improving network efficiency and reducing the load on upstream routers.
Edge Computing. The powerful x86 CPU allows the switch to host third-party applications in Docker containers. This capability enables IT teams to run network monitoring tools (like ThousandEyes agents) or security sensors directly on the switch, providing deep visibility without extra server hardware.
Application Scenarios
Scalable Access. Ideal for busy office floors where users transfer large files. The modular uplinks allow you to start with 10G connectivity today and upgrade to 25G or 40G in the future, ensuring the network backbone never limits user productivity.
Agile Aggregation. Can serve as a flexible ToR switch for connecting 1G servers. The StackWise-480 technology provides high redundancy, while the modular uplinks offer versatile connectivity options to the data center spine, supporting various media types (copper/fiber).
Computer Labs. Perfect for university computer labs connecting non-PoE workstations. The high stacking bandwidth simplifies the management of hundreds of ports, while the advanced security features protect the network from student-generated threats and malware.

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. - High-Density Stacking Needs
If you are building a large stack of switches (e.g., 6-8 units), this model’s StackWise-480 technology provides significantly higher backplane throughput (480 Gbps) than the C9300L series, preventing congestion in high-traffic aggregation scenarios. - Essentials License Fit
Choose this Essentials model if your network design utilizes a standard Layer 2 Access model or basic static routing. It provides all the necessary management and security features for a robust access network without the added cost of advanced core routing licenses (BGP/MPLS). - 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.
