C9300L-24T-4X-E Description

C9300L-24T-4X-front
The Cisco Catalyst C9300L-24T-4X-E is a high-performance enterprise access switch designed for data-intensive environments that require high-speed uplinks without the overhead of Power over Ethernet. As part of the Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink family, it features 24 Gigabit Ethernet data ports and four fixed 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports. This configuration delivers robust 10G connectivity to the network core, ensuring bottleneck-free performance for high-bandwidth endpoints such as servers, storage appliances, or engineering workstations.

Powered by the Cisco UADP 2.0 architecture and running the open IOS XE software, this switch brings enterprise-grade reliability and security to the network edge. It includes the Network Essentials license, offering foundational Layer 3 routing (OSPF Routed Access) and advanced security features like Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA). With StackWise-320 technology, it supports stacking up to 8 units, providing a unified management plane and high resiliency with redundant power supplies, making it an ideal upgrade for legacy 1G uplink switches.

Key Features

Bottleneck-Free Uplink Performance

High-Bandwidth Aggregation. With 24 Gigabit user ports sharing four 10 Gigabit uplinks, this switch offers an exceptional oversubscription ratio. It allows small teams of power users—such as video editors, radiologists, or data scientists—to simultaneously upload large files to central storage without experiencing the speed throttling often seen on standard 1G uplink switches.

Optimized Operational Efficiency

Green IT Compliance. Designed for environments where endpoints like servers and desktops have their own power sources. By eliminating PoE circuitry, this model consumes significantly less electricity and generates less heat than PoE counterparts. This reduces the load on cooling systems and UPS battery backups, lowering long-term operational costs (OPEX).

Unified Management at Scale

Simplified Operations. Leveraging StackWise-320 technology, network engineers can manage a stack of up to eight switches as a single logical entity with a single IP address. This capability drastically reduces the time required for configuration updates, software patching, and troubleshooting, allowing lean IT teams to support more users with less effort.

Proactive Threat Defense

Encrypted Traffic Analytics. Even with the Essentials license, this switch leverages the UADP 2.0 ASIC to inspect metadata from encrypted traffic flows. It can detect malware hiding inside encrypted connections (HTTPS) without needing to decrypt the data, preserving user privacy while securing the network edge against sophisticated cyber threats.

Business Continuity Assurance

Resilient Hardware Design. Unlike many mid-range switches that rely on a single power source, the C9300L supports dual field-replaceable power supplies and redundant fans. This N+1 redundancy ensures that critical data links remain active even if a power grid fluctuates or a PSU fails, preventing costly downtime in 24/7 operating environments.

Model-Driven Programmability

Automation Ready. Running on the open Cisco IOS XE operating system, this switch supports modern automation tools like NETCONF/YANG and Python scripting. This allows DevOps teams to automate repetitive provisioning tasks and integrate the network infrastructure into wider IT workflows, reducing the risk of human configuration errors.

Application Scenarios

High-Performance Workgroups

Engineering & Design. Ideal for small teams of engineers, media editors, or data analysts who transfer large files daily. The 24 Gigabit ports connect to their workstations, while the 10G uplinks ensure that the connection to the central file server or storage array is never congested.

Server Room Top-of-Rack (ToR)

Cost-Effective Aggregation. Can serve as a reliable ToR switch for standard 1G servers in a small data center or server closet. The 10G uplinks provide a fast path to the spine network, while the advanced security features protect the management interfaces and data flow.

Secure Data Transfer Nodes

Isolated Networks. Perfect for secure enclaves where data integrity is paramount. With MACsec encryption support and no PoE to worry about, it provides a secure, dedicated connection point for sensitive terminals or classified workstations that require high-speed access to central databases.

Selection Guide

  • Upgrade from 1G Uplinks
    This model is the perfect upgrade for existing C9300L-24T-4G-E or legacy 2960-X deployments. The move to 10G uplinks eliminates congestion bottlenecks caused by modern applications and large file transfers, without changing the port count or form factor.
  • Smart Budget Allocation for 10G Needs
    Select this model if you need high-speed 10G backhaul but do not require PoE or advanced routing protocols (BGP/MPLS). It allows you to invest your budget in bandwidth performance rather than unused power hardware or unnecessary software licenses.
  • Cost-Efficient Data Connectivity
    Ideal for environments connecting only non-powered devices like desktops, printers, and servers. By foregoing PoE hardware, this model offers a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and reduced power consumption while providing the same 10G performance as the PoE variant.
  • Rightsizing for Low-Density Sites
    For sites with fewer than 24 devices, this model prevents the waste of purchasing a 48-port switch. It delivers the same enterprise-class resilience (StackWise-320, redundant power) and 10G speed as the larger models, tailored for smaller footprint requirements.

Questions & Answers

  • What is Cisco C9300L-24T-4X-E used for?

    Cisco C9300L-24T-4X-E is used for 24-port data-only Gigabit access with fixed 4x10G/1G SFP+ uplinks and Network Essentials licensing. It fits closets that need 10G uplinks but no PoE or Advantage license at purchase.
  • Does C9300L-24T-4X-E provide PoE?

    No. C9300L-24T-4X-E is a data-only model. For endpoint power, use a PoE+ model such as C9300L-24P-4X-E.
  • How is C9300L-24T-4X-E different from C9300L-24T-4X-A?

    C9300L-24T-4X-E ships with Network Essentials, while C9300L-24T-4X-A ships with Network Advantage. The access-port count and fixed 10G uplink layout are the same.
  • Can C9300L-24T-4X-E use modular uplinks?

    No. C9300L-24T-4X-E has fixed 4x10G/1G SFP+ uplinks and does not accept modular uplink cards. If modular uplink choices are required, review C9300-24T-E instead.
  • Can C9300L-24T-4X-E be stacked?

    Yes. C9300L-24T-4X-E supports StackWise-320. It can be stacked with compatible C9300L models when software, hardware, and licensing plans are aligned.
  • When is C9300L-24T-4X-E the right data-only model?

    Choose C9300L-24T-4X-E when the site needs 24 copper data ports, fixed 10G uplinks, and Network Essentials. It is not intended for powered endpoints.
  • Can C9300L-24T-4X-E be upgraded to Network Advantage?

    Yes. Network Essentials deployments can be upgraded to Network Advantage through Cisco licensing. Buyers should confirm entitlement requirements before planning features that depend on the upgrade.
  • When should I choose C9300L-24T-4X-A instead?

    Choose C9300L-24T-4X-A when Advantage-level Layer 3 or policy features are required from day one. C9300L-24T-4X-E is better when fixed 10G data access under Network Essentials is enough.
