C9300L-24P-4G-E Description

The C9300L-24P-4G-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch for wiring closets that power IP phones and access points over Gigabit copper. The switch has 24 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports, four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, 56 Gbps of switching capacity and a 505W PoE budget on its default 715W AC supply. The -E suffix carries Network Essentials, which covers Layer 2 and OSPF routing up to 1,000 routes but not BGP, VXLAN or MPLS.

Key Features

Fixed 1G SFP Uplinks

The four uplinks are fixed 1G SFP ports, so fiber runs back to distribution stay at 1G. The 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks of the platform are on the C9300L-24P-4X-E.

505W PoE Budget

The default 715W supply leaves 505W for PoE, roughly 21W per port if all 24 ports draw power. Running every port at the full 30W PoE+ rating takes 720W, which a second supply provides.

Dual Power Supply Slots

Two internal slots take PWR-C1-715WAC-P, PWR-C1-1100WAC-P or a DC supply. A blank module fills the second slot until a supply is added, so redundancy and PoE headroom can follow later.

Network Essentials Feature Set

Network Essentials covers Layer 2, routed access with OSPF up to 1,000 routes, PBR, VRRP, 802.1X and MACsec-128. Advanced routing and segmentation need Network Advantage.

StackWise-320 Stacking

Up to eight switches stack at 320 Gbps. Members must be fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM models on the same license level, and modular-uplink C9300 switches cannot join.

Standalone And Stacked Capacity

Standalone capacity is 56 Gbps and 41.66 Mpps, rising to 376 Gbps and 279.76 Mpps in a stack. The stacked figures are the ones that apply when several closets share a stack.

Application Scenarios

Branch Wiring Closet Access

In a branch office closet, the switch powers IP phones and access points from its PoE+ ports and hands traffic to the site router over a 1G fiber uplink.

Small Campus Floor Access

A small campus building with a 1G fiber backbone can use the switch on each floor, where the four SFP uplinks reach distribution without 10G optics.

Growing Access Stack

An existing StackWise-320 stack of Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM switches on the same license level can add the switch to gain 24 more PoE+ ports.

C9300L-24P-4G-E and C9300L-24P-4X-E share the 24 PoE+ ports and the 505W default PoE budget, but C9300L-24P-4G-E has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks and 56 Gbps of standalone switching, against four 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks and 128 Gbps on C9300L-24P-4X-E, so any closet with 10G fiber uplinks needs C9300L-24P-4X-E. A closet with no powered endpoints can use C9300L-24T-4X-E, which runs on a PWR-C1-350WAC-P supply with no PoE. Sites that need 48 PoE+ ports and up to 1440W with an 1100W secondary supply move to C9300L-48P-4X-E, against the 720W ceiling here. Network Essentials hardware upgrades to Advantage later with a C9300L-LIC= term (C9300L-24-E-A-3, -5 or -7), which cannot be placed on the switch order.

Ordering Checklist

  • Subscription tier and term: Order a Network Essentials term such as C9300L-DNA-E-24-5Y; Cisco Catalyst subscriptions use the C9300L-DNX family. The configurator defaults to Cisco DNA Advantage for 5 years, which does not match a Network Essentials switch.
  • Second power supply: A second power supply of the same type as the primary is selected by default; C9300L-SPS-NONE removes it. Without it the switch has one supply and no power redundancy.
  • Stack kit: C9300L-STACK-KIT is selected by default with a 50 cm stack cable; 1 m and 3 m cables can be selected instead. Fixed-uplink stacking uses the C9300L stack kit, not the C9300 StackWise cables.
  • Power cords: Select the cord type for the destination country; two cords ship and the default is North America. A wrong cord type needs a replacement at the site.

Questions & Answers

  • Can C9300L-24P-4G-E be stacked?

    Yes, up to eight switches stack over StackWise-320. Members must be fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM models on the same license level, and modular-uplink C9300 switches cannot join. Fixed-uplink stacking uses the C9300L stack kit, not the C9300 StackWise cables.
  • What does Network Essentials on C9300L-24P-4G-E include?

    Network Essentials on C9300L-24P-4G-E covers Layer 2, routed access with OSPF up to 1,000 routes, PBR, VRRP, 802.1X and MACsec-128. BGP, VXLAN and MPLS are not included, and the subscription term must be an Essentials term such as C9300L-DNA-E-24-5Y.
  • Which first-hop redundancy protocol does C9300L-24P-4G-E support on Network Essentials?

    C9300L-24P-4G-E supports VRRP on Network Essentials. HSRP is part of Network Advantage, along with BGP, EIGRP and IS-IS. Essentials also covers PBR, PIM stub multicast, PVLAN, 802.1X, MACsec-128 and SSO, with OSPF limited to 1000 routes. A site that needs HSRP must order the Advantage tier.
  • What power does a PoE+ port on C9300L-24P-4G-E 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. Plan the 505W default pool on the device-side figures, because phones and access points often draw close to their class limit.
  • Can a C9300-NM-8X module be installed in C9300L-24P-4G-E?

    No. C9300L-24P-4G-E has no field-replaceable network module slot. Optional uplink modules such as C9300-NM-8X are supported only on non-X modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 switches, not on fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L models. The four 1G SFP uplinks are fixed in the chassis, so uplink speed is set when the switch is ordered.
  • Which stack kits and cables does C9300L-24P-4G-E use?

    C9300L-24P-4G-E stacks with C9300L-STACK-KIT or C9300L-STACK-KIT2 over StackWise-320 with up to 8 members. The first kit ships a 0.5 m STACK-T3 cable and the second a STACK-T3A cable, with longer lengths optional. It cannot mix-stack with modular-uplink Catalyst 9300, Catalyst 3850 or Catalyst 3650 switches.
  • Which subscription family applies to C9300L-24P-4G-E?

    C9300L-24P-4G-E uses the Network Essentials subscription family C9300L-DNA-E-24 for Cisco DNA or C9300L-DNX-E-24 for Cisco Catalyst, with an -xY term suffix. MACsec-256 is not part of this tier, because the 256-bit option needs Network Advantage. Order the Advantage family instead if a site needs it.
  • Which inlet and ratings does the default supply of C9300L-24P-4G-E use?

    Per the Catalyst 9300 hardware installation guide, PWR-C1-715WAC-P accepts 100-240VAC at 50-60Hz through an IEC 320-C16 inlet. Output is -56V at 12.8A with 2440 BTU/hr of heat output, and the supply weighs 2.6 lb. Order the power cord for the destination country with C9300L-24P-4G-E.
  • How many fans does C9300L-24P-4G-E have and what airflow do they rate?

    C9300L-24P-4G-E ships with three field-replaceable fans with N+1 redundancy, each rated for 20 cfm of airflow. Airflow runs front-to-rear and side-to-rear. The spare is FAN-T2=, and a failed fan can be replaced while the switch stays in service, so cooling continues without a stack outage.
  • What operating temperature and altitude does C9300L-24P-4G-E support?

    C9300L-24P-4G-E operates from -5 to 45 degC (23 to 113 degF) with 5% to 90% non-condensing humidity, at altitudes up to 3000 m. Storage is rated -40 to 70 degC at altitudes up to 15,000 ft (4500 m). Closets that run hotter than this range need extra cooling, because the PoE budget does not change with temperature.
