C9300L-48P-4X-A Description

The Cisco Catalyst C9300L-48P-4X-A is a high-performance, fixed-uplink enterprise switch designed for organizations requiring full Layer 3 routing capabilities and advanced network automation. As a "Network Advantage" model, it goes beyond basic access switching by supporting comprehensive routing protocols like BGP, MPLS, and OSPF, making it suitable for complex network architectures and collapsed core deployments. It features 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports with a 505W power budget and four fixed 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks for high-speed connectivity.

Built on the Cisco UADP 2.0 architecture, this switch is the cornerstone of Software-Defined Access (SD-Access). It delivers fully automated policy-based segmentation, advanced assurance, and IoT integration. With StackWise-320 technology, users can stack up to eight units to form a single management domain with 320 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. The C9300L-48P-4X-A combines the cost-efficiency of fixed uplinks with the premium software features needed for mission-critical, scalable enterprise networks.

Key Features

Network Advantage Intelligence

Full Layer 3 Routing. Unlike the Essentials model, the C9300L-48P-4X-A supports the complete set of enterprise routing protocols including BGP, IS-IS, and MPLS. This enables the switch to participate actively in complex routing domains, offering greater flexibility for network segmentation and WAN integration.

High-Speed 10G Uplinks

Bottleneck-Free Connectivity. Equipped with four fixed 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports, this switch ensures that high-bandwidth traffic from 48 users, Wi-Fi 6 access points, and video cameras is transmitted to the core network without congestion, ensuring optimal application performance.

Comprehensive SD-Access Support

Automated Fabric. This model is fully capable of functioning as a Fabric Edge node within Cisco’s SD-Access architecture. It supports advanced features like Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) and LISP, enabling automated user policy enforcement and seamless mobility across the campus.

StackWise-320 Resiliency

Unified High Availability. The StackWise-320 architecture allows you to connect up to 8 switches into a single logical ring with 320 Gbps of backplane throughput. This provides N+1 redundancy for power and switching, ensuring that a single switch failure does not disrupt the rest of the stack.

Advanced Security and Encrypted Traffic Analytics

Proactive Threat Defense. Capable of Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA), the switch uses machine learning to identify threats in encrypted traffic without decryption. Combined with MACsec-128 encryption and Trustworthy Solutions, it secures the network hardware and data from the ground up.

Optimized Power over Ethernet

Smart Power Management. With a default 505W PoE+ budget (expandable with a secondary power supply), the switch intelligently allocates power to connected devices. It supports Persistent PoE, ensuring that IP phones and cameras remain powered even during a switch reboot.

Applications Scenarios

Collapsed Core for Medium Business

Centralized Routing Hub. Thanks to its Network Advantage license supporting BGP and OSPF, this switch can serve as the core router for a medium-sized office building. It handles internal routing between VLANs and connects directly to the WAN edge, reducing the need for expensive dedicated routers.

Complex Campus Segmentation

VRF-Lite Deployment. For organizations that need to strictly isolate different departments (e.g., Finance, Guest, R&D) on the same physical infrastructure, the full VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) support allows for complete logical separation of traffic tables, enhancing security and compliance.

Automated SD-Access Edge

Zero-Touch Provisioning. In large enterprises deploying Cisco DNA Center, this switch serves as the ideal fabric edge. It allows for automated onboarding of users and devices, applying security policies dynamically based on identity rather than physical port location.

Selection Guide

  • Why Choose Network Advantage (-A)?
    Select this model if your network design requires full dynamic routing (BGP, MPLS) or complex virtualization (VRF). It is the correct choice for collapsed core layers where the switch needs to act as a router.
  • SD-Access Fabric Requirements
    If you are deploying Cisco DNA Center with full fabric automation, the Network Advantage license unlocks the full potential of policy-based segmentation and VXLAN capabilities that the Essentials model cannot provide.
  • Cost-Effective 10G Connectivity
    The C9300L series provides fixed 10G uplinks at a lower price point than the modular C9300 series. If you do not foresee needing 25G or 40G uplinks in the switch’s lifetime, this model offers the best balance of performance and budget.
