What does Network Advantage on C9300L-24P-4X-A include?

Network Advantage on C9300L-24P-4X-A adds BGP, VRF, VXLAN, MPLS, Cisco TrustSec and MACsec-256, plus NETCONF and RESTCONF automation interfaces on top of the Network Essentials feature set. The subscription term must be an Advantage term such as C9300L-DNA-A-24-5Y.

Which MACsec key length can C9300L-24P-4X-A use?

C9300L-24P-4X-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-4X-A take under Network Advantage?

Under Network Advantage in IOS XE 16.12, C9300L-24P-4X-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.

Can C9300L-24P-4X-A join a StackPower ring?

No. StackPower pools power across up to four switches in a ring, or eight with an expandable power system, but it works only on modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 and Catalyst 9300X switches. C9300L-24P-4X-A has fixed uplinks, so each switch depends on its own supplies and PoE budget. A second supply raises that budget from 505W to the 720W ceiling.

What power does a PoE+ port on C9300L-24P-4X-A provide to the 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 endpoint loads on the device-side figures within the 505W default budget, since many phones and access points draw near their class limit.

How does C9300L-24P-4X-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-4X-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 table sizes does C9300L-24P-4X-A offer for MAC addresses and routes?

C9300L-24P-4X-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.

Which IOS XE baseline does the datasheet give for C9300L-24P-4X-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-4X-A to a stack.

Are the fans of C9300L-24P-4X-A field-replaceable?

Yes. C9300L-24P-4X-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.

C9300L-24P-4X-A Description

The C9300L-24P-4X-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch for campus and branch closets that power endpoints over Gigabit copper and aggregate over 10G fiber. The switch has 24 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports, four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, 128 Gbps of switching capacity and a 505W PoE budget on its default 715W AC supply. The -A suffix carries Network Advantage, which adds BGP, VXLAN, MPLS and MACsec-256 to the Network Essentials feature set.

Key Features

Four Fixed 10G/1G SFP+ Uplinks

Uplinks are built into the chassis, with no network module to select or swap. Each port runs at 10G or 1G, so existing 1G fiber links keep working.

505W PoE Budget

The default 715W supply gives 505W for PoE, about 21W per port across all 24. A second supply raises the budget to 720W, enough for 30W on every port.

Network Advantage Feature Set

Beyond Network Essentials, Network Advantage adds BGP, VRF, VXLAN, MPLS, Cisco TrustSec and MACsec-256, plus NETCONF and RESTCONF automation interfaces.

StackWise-320 With Fixed-Uplink Members

Up to eight switches stack at 320 Gbps. Only Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM members on the same license level can join, not modular-uplink C9300 switches.

128 Gbps Switching Capacity

Standalone capacity is 128 Gbps and 95.23 Mpps, and a stack reaches 448 Gbps and 333.33 Mpps. The four 10G uplinks run at line rate within that figure.

Dual Power Supply Slots

Two internal slots take a second 715W or 1100W supply for redundancy or extra PoE. A blank module covers the slot while it stays empty.

Application Scenarios

Campus Closet With 10G Uplinks

In a campus floor closet, the switch powers phones and access points from its PoE+ ports and uplinks to aggregation over SFP+ fiber at 10G.

Segmented Branch Access

A branch network that separates guest, IoT and staff traffic with VRFs and TrustSec can run those functions at the access layer, since Network Advantage is built in.

Stack Addition Of 24 PoE+ Ports

An existing StackWise-320 stack of Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM switches on Network Advantage can add the switch for 24 more powered ports.

C9300L-24P-4X-A and C9300L-24P-4X-E share the same 24 PoE+ ports, 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks and 505W default PoE budget, so the only thing separating them is Network Advantage against Network Essentials. A site that does not need BGP, VXLAN, Cisco TrustSec or MACsec-256 can drop to C9300L-24P-4X-E, which keeps Layer 2, OSPF up to 1,000 routes and MACsec-128. Four 1G SFP uplinks at 56 Gbps standalone are enough only for C9300L-24P-4G-A, and a closet with no powered endpoints fits C9300L-24T-4X-A, which runs on a PWR-C1-350WAC-P supply with no PoE.

PoE Power Planning

Planning Item	Cisco Confirmed Value	Order Impact
PoE access profile	24 x 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ ports	Match endpoint power draw to a 24-port PoE+ access design
Default PoE budget	505W with the default 715W AC power supply	Confirm that attached endpoint demand fits the default supply plan
All-port PoE+ planning ceiling	24 ports at 30W per PoE+ port	Treat the port count and PoE+ rating as the maximum all-port planning boundary
Power supply selection	Cisco lists 715W AC, 1100W AC, and 715W DC options for C9300L power planning	Confirm redundancy, secondary supply, AC or DC input, and regional power cord before purchase

Ordering Checklist

Subscription tier and term: Order a Network Advantage term such as C9300L-DNA-A-24-5Y; Cisco Catalyst subscriptions use the C9300L-DNX family. The Advantage term must match the -A hardware, and the configurator default is a 5-year term.
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-4X-A be stacked?
Yes, up to eight switches stack at 320 Gbps over StackWise-320. Only Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM members at the same license level can join, not modular-uplink C9300 switches. Fixed-uplink stacking uses the C9300L stack kit, with a 50 cm cable selected by default.

Network Advantage on C9300L-24P-4X-A adds BGP, VRF, VXLAN, MPLS, Cisco TrustSec and MACsec-256, plus NETCONF and RESTCONF automation interfaces on top of the Network Essentials feature set. The subscription term must be an Advantage term such as C9300L-DNA-A-24-5Y.
