C9300L-24P-4G-E Description
The C9300L-24P-4G-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch built for wiring-closet deployments that need 24 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ copper ports without the cost of a 10G-capable uplink module. Cisco's ordering description confirms the hardware as a 24-port PoE+ copper switch with four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, sold at the Network Essentials tier. It ships with a default PWR-C1-715WAC-P power supply that provides a 505W PoE budget, enough for a closet of PoE+ phones and access points, and it stacks through StackWise-320 (320 Gbps) so additional 24- or 48-port Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM members can join at the same license level. Standalone switching capacity is 56 Gbps with a 41.66 Mpps forwarding rate, rising to 376 Gbps and 279.76 Mpps when stacked, positioning the C9300L-24P-4G-E as an entry-level PoE+ access switch for sites where fixed 1G fiber uplinks are sufficient and Layer 2 or basic routed-access features cover the design.

Product Performance
Key Features
The C9300L-24P-4G-E keeps its four uplinks fixed at 1G SFP instead of a 10G/1G SFP+ module, which lowers the order cost for closets that only need 1G fiber aggregation back to distribution.
The default PWR-C1-715WAC-P supply provides 505W of available PoE, enough to run the full 24-port access edge with PoE+ phones and access points before a second supply slot is ever populated.
The Network Essentials tier covers Layer 2, Routed Access with up to 1000 OSPF routes, PBR, PVLAN, VRRP, 802.1X, and MACsec-128, which is enough entitlement for a Layer 2 or lightly routed access role without the advanced routing and segmentation features reserved for Network Advantage.
Stacking runs on StackWise-320 and only joins other Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM fixed-uplink members at the same license tier, so this switch cannot be mixed into a modular-uplink C9300 or C9300X stack.
The chassis carries two internal power supply slots with a blank module required in the unused slot, so the access design can add a second supply later without a full unit swap when PoE headroom needs to grow toward the 720W ceiling.
C9300L-24P-4G-E requires a minimum of Cisco IOS XE Release 16.11.1b, above the 16.5.1a baseline for the wider Catalyst 9300 Series, so a golden image already validated on modular-uplink C9300 hardware needs a version check before it is reused on this fixed-uplink 24-port PoE+ closet switch.
Application Scenarios
Deployed as the access-layer switch in a branch or small campus wiring closet, delivering 24 PoE+ ports to IP phones and access points where the uplink handoff back to distribution only needs 1G fiber.
Used where a site standard calls for Network Essentials on fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L hardware, keeping the access layer on Layer 2 or lightly routed configurations without advanced routing or segmentation features.
Added into an existing StackWise-320 stack of Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM switches to extend 24-port PoE+ capacity while keeping every member on the same Network Essentials license.

- Moving from C9300L-24P-4G-E to C9300L-24P-4X-E swaps the fixed 1G SFP uplinks for 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks on the same 24-port PoE+ chassis with an identical 505W default PoE budget, so the 4X model only earns its place when the uplink aggregation plan needs 10G fiber; a closet that only ever hands off at 1G keeps the 4G model and avoids paying for uplink bandwidth it will not use.
- C9300L-24T-4X-E trades away PoE entirely: it carries the same 128 Gbps switching capacity as C9300L-24P-4X-E but runs on a 350W supply with no PoE output, so it only fits a data-only access role and cannot replace C9300L-24P-4G-E anywhere phones or access points need inline power.
- Stepping up to C9300L-48P-4X-E doubles the access port count to 48 PoE+ ports and keeps the same 505W default PoE budget as the 24-port models, but its 1100W-secondary-supply ceiling reaches 1440W of available PoE versus the 720W ceiling on this 24-port chassis; that gap only matters when the site plans PoE growth beyond what a 24-port closet can carry.
- For deciding which SKU to order in this group, settle the port count and PoE requirement first, since C9300L-24T-4X-E is out of consideration wherever PoE+ endpoints exist; only after that does the uplink speed choice between the 4G and 4X hardware become the deciding factor, because default power supply, license tier, and stacking architecture do not separate the four models.
Selection Guide
1. When The 4x1G Uplink Still Covers The Closet
C9300L-24P-4G-E keeps its uplinks fixed at 1G SFP; a design that only needs 1G fiber back to distribution can stay on this hardware and skip the extra cost of the 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks built into C9300L-24P-4X-E, since both models share the same 24-port PoE+ access layout and 505W default PoE budget.
2. Network Essentials Is Enough Without Advanced Routing
C9300L-24P-4G-E carries Network Essentials, which covers Layer 2, Routed Access up to 1000 OSPF routes, PBR, and 802.1X; an access role that never needs BGP, VXLAN, SD-Access, or MACsec-256 can stay on this tier instead of paying for the Network Advantage features reserved for the -A hardware.
3. The License Upgrade Path Is A Separate PID
Cisco ties the Network Essentials or Network Advantage entitlement to the hardware suffix, so upgrading from Essentials to Advantage on this chassis is not a simple accessory order; the C9300L-LIC= upgrade license raises a Cisco DNA Essentials subscription to DNA Advantage and synchronously upgrades the underlying Network Essentials perpetual license, which is the documented path if the design later needs Advantage features without swapping hardware.
4. 720W PoE Ceiling Sets The Growth Limit On This 24-Port Chassis
A second power supply raises available PoE toward a 720W ceiling on this 24-port hardware, well below the 1440W ceiling on the 48-port C9300L-48P-4X-E; a site that expects PoE demand to outgrow 24 ports over time should size the 48-port model from the start rather than plan a mid-life chassis swap.

Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact SKU and uplink type |
Confirm C9300L-24P-4G-E and its fixed 4x1G SFP uplinks, not the 4x10G/1G SFP+ uplinks on C9300L-24P-4X-E. |
Ordering the wrong uplink variant means re-cabling the fiber uplink plan after delivery. |
|
License and subscription alignment |
Confirm the Network Essentials hardware is paired with a matching Cisco DNA or Cisco Catalyst Essentials subscription term (3, 5, or 7 years) under the same Smart Account. |
A mismatched subscription tier can block license activation at deployment. |
|
Second power supply slot |
Confirm whether a second PWR-C1-715WAC-P, PWR-C1-1100WAC-P, or a blank module is included for the empty slot. |
Running the chassis with an empty, unblanked slot is against Cisco’s documented airflow guidance. |
|
Stacking accessories |
Confirm the C9300L-STACK-KIT or C9300L-STACK-KIT2 and matching STACK-T3 or STACK-T3A cable length are on the order when this unit joins an existing stack. |
Fixed-uplink C9300L stacking uses its own cable family, not the C9300/C9300X StackWise cables. |
|
Smart Account destination |
Confirm the Smart Account and virtual account that will receive the Network Essentials entitlement. |
Cisco requires a Smart Account at time of order, and a license landing in the wrong account can delay activation. |
