C9300L-24P-4G-A Description

The C9300L-24P-4G-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch for wiring closets that power IP phones and access points. The switch has 24 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ ports, four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, a 505W default PoE budget on the 715W AC supply and 56 Gbps of switching capacity. The -A suffix carries Network Advantage, and stacking uses StackWise-320 with Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM switches at the same license level.

Key Features

PoE Budget And The Second Supply

On the default 715W AC supply the switch has 505W for PoE. A second power supply raises the budget to 720W, which covers 30W on all 24 ports.

Fixed 1G SFP Uplinks

The four SFP uplinks are built into the chassis and there is no network module slot. Uplink speed is set by the switch rather than by a swappable module.

StackWise-320 Stacking

Up to eight members stack over 320 Gbps links, and Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM switches can mix in one stack at the same license level.

Network Advantage Routing And Segmentation

The -A tier adds BGP, VRF, VXLAN, LISP, Cisco TrustSec and MPLS, and lifts the 1,000-route OSPF limit that applies at Network Essentials.

AC Or DC Power Options

Two internal supply slots take 715W or 1100W AC supplies and a 715W DC supply, so closets fed by DC power are covered.

Capacity Alone And In A Stack

Standalone, the switch forwards 41.66 Mpps with 56 Gbps of switching capacity. In a stack the figures reach 279.76 Mpps and 376 Gbps.

Application Scenarios

Small Closet With Powered Endpoints

In a branch or campus closet with up to 24 phones, access points or cameras, the switch powers them from its PoE+ ports and hands traffic off over 1G SFP fiber.

Advanced Routing At The Edge

A campus that runs VRF, VXLAN or TrustSec segmentation down to the access layer can place the switch there with Network Advantage routing and segmentation features.

Stack Member For A Growing Floor

When a floor adds PoE+ capacity, the switch joins an existing StackWise-320 stack of Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM switches at the same license level.

C9300L-24P-4G-A and C9300L-24P-4G-E are the same 24-port PoE+ switch with four fixed 1G SFP uplinks and a 505W default budget; the difference is Network Advantage, which adds VXLAN, LISP, Cisco TrustSec, MPLS and OSPF without a route limit over Network Essentials. A site that needs none of these can order C9300L-24P-4G-E, but Cisco lists no Advantage-to-Essentials downgrade, while the reverse path is the C9300L-LIC= upgrade, such as C9300L-24-E-A-3. Uplinks above 1G call for C9300L-24P-4X-A, with four 10G/1G SFP+ ports and 128 Gbps against 56 Gbps. Closets without powered devices can use C9300L-24T-4G-A, which has a 350W supply and no PoE.

PoE Power Planning

Planning Item

Cisco Confirmed Value

Order Impact

PoE standard

PoE+ on 24 x 10/100/1000 Mbps access ports

Match endpoint power draw to the confirmed PoE+ access profile

Default PoE budget

505W with the default PWR-C1-715WAC-P power supply

Keep endpoint count and power draw inside the default budget when no second supply is ordered

720W PoE ceiling

24 PoE+ ports are limited by port number and 30W port rating

Treat 720W as the all-port PoE+ planning ceiling for this 24-port model

Power supply check

Cisco lists PWR-C1-715WAC-P, PWR-C1-1100WAC-P, and PWR-C1-715WDC as supported C9300L supply options

Confirm AC or DC power design, spare supply, and regional power cord with the final bill of materials

Ordering Checklist

  • Subscription: Add a 24-port Network Advantage-tier term, Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA Advantage for 3, 5 or 7 years. Subscriptions are mandatory on new orders and must match the -A tier of the switch.
  • Second power supply: A second supply matching PWR-C1-715WAC-P is selected by default; C9300L-SPS-NONE removes it. Without it the PoE budget stays at 505W instead of 720W.
  • Stacking: C9300L-STACK-KIT is selected by default with a 50 cm cable; choose STACK-T3-1M or STACK-T3-3M for longer runs. Fixed-uplink C9300L switches stack with their own kit, not the C9300 STACK-T1 cables.
  • Power cords: Select the cord type for the destination country; two cords ship and the default is North America, which may not match the site.

Questions & Answers

  • Can C9300L-24P-4G-A be stacked?

    Yes, up to eight members stack over StackWise-320. Members must be Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM switches at the same license level, and C9300L-STACK-KIT with a 50 cm cable is selected by default, and STACK-T3-1M or STACK-T3-3M cover longer runs.
  • What does Network Advantage on C9300L-24P-4G-A include?

    Network Advantage on C9300L-24P-4G-A adds BGP, VRF, VXLAN, LISP, Cisco TrustSec and MPLS, and lifts the 1,000-route OSPF limit that applies at Network Essentials. The subscription term must be an Advantage term of 3, 5 or 7 years.
  • Which IOS XE baseline does the datasheet give for C9300L-24P-4G-A?

    The datasheet baseline for Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink models is Cisco IOS XE 16.11.1b. The release notes list 16.11.1c as the introductory release for most 9300L data and PoE models (16.12.2 applies only to the UXG models). All stack members need the same IOS XE release and license, so match the release before adding C9300L-24P-4G-A to a stack.
  • Which MACsec key length can C9300L-24P-4G-A use?

    C9300L-24P-4G-A can use MACsec-128 and MACsec-256. The 128-bit option needs Network Essentials and the 256-bit option needs Network Advantage, which the -A suffix provides. No extra license is required for 256-bit link encryption beyond the Advantage subscription term ordered with the switch.
  • Which VXLAN and MPLS roles can C9300L-24P-4G-A take under Network Advantage?

    Under Network Advantage in IOS XE 16.12, C9300L-24P-4G-A can act as a VXLAN BGP EVPN VTEP, with bridging, routing, anycast gateway and border handoff through VRF-Lite and L2 or L3VPN. In MPLS it takes the PE role with 256 VRFs, including mVPN, 6PE, 6VPE and Inter-AS options A and B.
  • Does C9300L-24P-4G-A support StackPower?

    No. StackPower is available only on modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 switches, so C9300L-24P-4G-A cannot pool power with other stack members. Each switch relies on its own supplies, and a second supply is what lifts the PoE budget from 505W toward the 720W ceiling. A StackPower cable is not part of the C9300L stack kit.
  • How does C9300L-24P-4G-A build its StackWise-320 bandwidth?

    StackWise-320 uses 4 rings of 40 Gbps, giving 160G in each direction, with up to 8 members. C9300L-24P-4G-A stacks only with Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM switches, which can mix with each other at 320G. Modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 switches cannot join, and the members must run the same IOS XE release and license level.
  • What power does a PoE+ port on C9300L-24P-4G-A give a device?

    A PoE+ port follows IEEE 802.3at Type 2, which provides 30W at the port and 25.5W at the powered device after cable loss. An 802.3af Type 1 device receives 15.4W at the port and 13W at the device. Budget the 505W default pool on the device-side figures when many phones and access points draw near their class limit.
  • How many MAC addresses and routes does C9300L-24P-4G-A support?

    C9300L-24P-4G-A holds 32K MAC addresses and VLAN IDs 4,094 per the datasheet. Routing scale is 24K host or directly connected routes and 8K indirect IPv4 routes. ACL and QoS tables hold 5,120. IGMP groups and multicast routes each reach 8K, and NetFlow holds 64k per ASIC, so plan the stack inside these limits.
  • Are the fans of C9300L-24P-4G-A field-replaceable?

    Yes. C9300L-24P-4G-A has three field-replaceable fans with N+1 redundancy, so cooling continues if one fan fails. Airflow runs front-to-rear and side-to-rear. A failed fan module can be replaced while the switch stays in service. The data-only C9300LM-48T-4Y is the exception in the family, with fixed fans.
