C9300L-24T-4G-E Description

The C9300L-24T-4G-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch for campus access closets that connect desktops, printers and other locally powered devices. The switch has 24 Gigabit copper ports, four fixed 1G SFP uplinks and 56 Gbps of switching capacity, and its Network Essentials license covers Layer 2 and routed access with OSPF limited to 1,000 routes. The 350W default supply carries no PoE, and the license does not include BGP, VXLAN or MPLS.

Key Features

24 Data-Only Gigabit Ports

The 24 10/100/1000 copper ports carry data only, with no PoE output, so they suit desktops, printers and devices powered locally.

Fixed 1G SFP Uplinks

Four 1G SFP ports are built into the chassis and take fiber or copper SFP modules toward the aggregation switch. There is no module slot to change the uplink speed later.

Network Essentials Feature Set

The license covers Layer 2 switching, 802.1X, MACsec-128, QoS and routed access with RIP, EIGRP stub and OSPF up to 1,000 routes. Telemetry and SPAN tools are included at this tier.

Stack Compatibility And Limits

Up to eight switches join one StackWise-320 stack at 320 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. Members must be Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM switches at the same license level, and fixed-uplink models do not stack with modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 or Catalyst 3850 and 3650 switches.

Dual Power Supply Slots

The 350W AC supply is the default, and the chassis has two internal supply slots. A second 350W, 715W or 1100W supply can be added, and there is no PoE output to budget for.

Table Scale And Memory

The switch holds 32,000 MAC addresses and 32,000 IPv4 routes, with a 16 MB packet buffer and 64,000 NetFlow flows. 8 GB of DRAM and 16 GB of flash support the same IOS XE image used across the Catalyst 9300 family.

Application Scenarios

Data-Only Access Closet

In a closet that serves office desktops and printers, the switch provides Gigabit copper access and forwards traffic to the distribution layer over its 1G SFP uplinks.

Small Routed Access Edge

A building that routes between a few VLANs at the access layer can use the switch for RIP, EIGRP stub or OSPF routed access within the 1,000-route limit.

Stack Extension For A Closet

A closet that outgrows its current port count can add the switch to a Catalyst 9300L stack running at the same license level, so no new management address is needed.

C9300L-24T-4G-E is the Network Essentials version of C9300L-24T-4G-A, with the same 24 data-only 1G ports, four fixed 1G SFP uplinks and 350W PWR-C1-350WAC-P supply. A site that needs Network Advantage from day one orders C9300L-24T-4G-A, while an installed switch can be upgraded later with a C9300L-LIC= term (C9300L-24-E-A-3, -5 or -7), which cannot be added to the original switch order. PoE+ endpoints call for C9300L-24P-4G-E, with 505W of default available PoE on a 715W supply. Uplinks faster than 1G call for C9300L-24T-4X-E, with four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ ports and 128 Gbps standalone switching capacity against 56 Gbps.

Ordering Checklist

  • Subscription: Order a 24-port Essentials term such as C9300L-DNA-E-24-5Y, or the Catalyst equivalent C9300L-DNX-E-24-5Y; terms run 3, 5 or 7 years. The configurator defaults to Advantage at 5 years, which does not match a Network Essentials switch.
  • Second power supply: A second supply matching PWR-C1-350WAC-P is selected by default; choose C9300L-SPS-NONE to remove it. The configurator adds it unless removed, so the order may carry a supply the site does not want.
  • Stack kit: C9300L-STACK-KIT is selected by default with a 50 cm cable; 1 m and 3 m cables are options. A stack needs a cable long enough to reach the neighbouring member, and fixed-uplink switches use the C9300L kit rather than the modular C9300 cables.
  • Power cords: Two power cords ship, defaulting to North America; select the cord type for the destination country. The default cord will not match outlets outside North America.

Questions & Answers

  • Can C9300L-24T-4G-E be stacked?

    Yes, C9300L-24T-4G-E stacks over StackWise-320 with up to eight Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM switches at the same license level. Fixed-uplink members use C9300L-STACK-KIT, and modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 and Catalyst 3850 or 3650 switches cannot join the stack.
  • What does Network Essentials on C9300L-24T-4G-E include?

    Network Essentials on C9300L-24T-4G-E covers Layer 2 switching, 802.1X, MACsec-128, QoS and routed access with RIP, EIGRP stub and OSPF up to 1,000 routes. BGP, VXLAN and MPLS are not part of the license.
  • Does C9300L-24T-4G-E support MACsec-256?

    No. MACsec-256 requires Network Advantage, and C9300L-24T-4G-E carries Network Essentials, which supports the 128-bit option. The series supports the 256-bit option only with the Advantage tier. Link encryption stays at 128 bits on this switch until its subscription tier is changed, so settle any 256-bit requirement before the order.
  • Can C9300L-24T-4G-E act as a VXLAN BGP EVPN leaf?

    No. The VXLAN BGP EVPN VTEP role is a Network Advantage feature, and C9300L-24T-4G-E ships with Network Essentials. Under Advantage in IOS XE 16.12 the Catalyst 9300 supports bridging, routing and anycast gateway, with border handoff through VRF-Lite and L2 or L3VPN. Essentials sites keep VLAN-based Layer 2 designs.
  • Which power supply options does C9300L-24T-4G-E list in the datasheet?

    No. The Catalyst 9300 datasheet lists the 350W AC, 715W AC, 715W DC and 1100W AC supplies for the fixed-uplink 9300L, and it does not list the 1900W AC unit for these models. Size the second supply for C9300L-24T-4G-E from those four options. Each switch takes two supplies with N+1 redundancy.
  • How does C9300L-24T-4G-E build its StackWise-320 bandwidth?

    StackWise-320 uses 4 rings of 40 Gbps, giving 160G in each direction, with up to 8 members. C9300L-24T-4G-E 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.
  • How many VLAN IDs and SVIs does C9300L-24T-4G-E support?

    C9300L-24T-4G-E supports VLAN IDs 4,094 and 1,000 SVIs per the datasheet, not 1K active VLANs. Direct IPv4 routes reach 24,000 with 8,000 indirect routes. Memory is DRAM sized for the shared IOS XE image used across the family, and the same table sizes apply in a stack.
  • Are the fans of C9300L-24T-4G-E field-replaceable?

    Yes. C9300L-24T-4G-E 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.
