C9300L-48T-4X-A Description

The C9300L-48T-4X-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch for wiring closets with data-only endpoints. The switch has 48 data-only Gigabit copper ports, four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks and 176 Gbps of switching capacity, and its 350W AC supply carries no PoE. Stacking is limited to Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM members on the same license tier, and the fixed uplinks cannot be swapped for a network module.

Key Features

Fixed 10G SFP+ Uplinks

The four SFP+ uplink ports are built into the chassis and run at 10G or 1G. Uplink speed is set by the optics installed, because C9300L models have no network module slot.

Data-Only Ports On A 350W Supply

All 48 ports are data only, so the default PWR-C1-350WAC-P supply (350W, 100-240VAC input) only has to cover the switch itself. Endpoints such as phones or access points need their own power source.

Network Advantage Feature Scope

The Network Advantage license adds BGP, IS-IS, VRF, VXLAN, MPLS, NETCONF/RESTCONF and MACsec-256 to what Network Essentials carries, so the same 48 ports can take on routing and segmentation roles.

StackWise-320 Stacking

Up to eight units form one 320 Gbps stack through a C9300L-STACK-KIT or C9300L-STACK-KIT2. Members must run the same license tier, and fixed-uplink units do not stack with modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 or 9300X switches.

Second Power Supply Bay

The chassis has two internal power supply bays and ships with one supply in slot 1. A second supply can be added at any time, and a blank module is required in an empty bay to keep airflow correct.

Table Scale For Access Roles

The switch holds 32,000 MAC addresses, 32,000 IPv4 routes, 16,000 IPv6 routes and 5,120 ACL entries, with a 16 MB packet buffer. That scale suits access and small aggregation roles.

Application Scenarios

Office Floor Closet For Wired Desktops

In an office floor closet, the switch connects desktops, printers and docking stations on its 48 Gigabit copper ports and carries their traffic to the distribution layer over four 10G SFP+ uplinks.

Rack Aggregation For Self-Powered Devices

In a server or lab rack, the switch aggregates Gigabit links from servers, storage controllers and appliances that run on their own power, since none of its ports supply PoE.

Stack Growth In A Branch Closet

A branch closet that outgrows one switch can add this model to a stack of up to eight Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM units on the same license tier and manage the group as one logical switch over StackWise-320.

C9300L-48T-4X-A is the data-only model of this group: C9300L-48P-4X-A has the same 48 copper ports and four 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks but ships with PWR-C1-715WAC-P and 505W of default PoE+, so any closet that powers phones or access points needs C9300L-48P-4X-A. Where uplinks terminate on 1G SFP only, C9300L-48T-4G-A has four fixed 1G SFP ports and 104 Gbps of switching instead of 176 Gbps. Network Advantage is the only difference from C9300L-48T-4X-E, which fits sites that do not need Advantage features; all members of one stack must run the same license tier.

Ordering Checklist

  • Subscription term: Order C9300L-DNA-A-48-3Y, -5Y or -7Y for a Network Advantage switch. The configurator defaults to Cisco DNA Advantage for 5 years, and the term must be the same tier as the switch.
  • Second power supply: A second PWR-C1-350WAC-P is selected by default; C9300L-SPS-NONE removes it. A second supply added or dropped by accident changes the power bill and the redundancy of the closet.
  • Stacking kit: C9300L-STACK-KIT is added by default with a 50 cm cable (50CM, 1M or 3M); C9300L-STACK-KIT2 is the alternative kit. The two kits use different cable families, and a switch ordered without the kit cannot join a StackWise-320 stack.
  • Power cords: Select the cord type for the destination country; North America is the default. Two cords ship with the switch, and the default does not match other countries.

Questions & Answers

  • Can C9300L-48T-4X-A be stacked?

    Yes. C9300L-48T-4X-A stacks over StackWise-320 at 320 Gbps with up to eight members, using C9300L-STACK-KIT or C9300L-STACK-KIT2. Members must be Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM models on the same license level, and modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 and 9300X switches cannot join.

  • What does Network Advantage on C9300L-48T-4X-A include?

    Network Advantage on C9300L-48T-4X-A includes BGP, IS-IS, VRF, VXLAN, MPLS and NETCONF/RESTCONF. Subscription terms are C9300L-DNA-A-48-3Y, C9300L-DNA-A-48-5Y or C9300L-DNA-A-48-7Y, and the term must be at the same tier as the switch. Stack members must also run the same license tier.

  • Which VXLAN BGP EVPN role can C9300L-48T-4X-A take with Network Advantage?

    From IOS XE 16.12, C9300L-48T-4X-A supports VXLAN BGP EVPN in the VTEP (leaf) role only. It handles bridging and routing, an anycast gateway, and ingress replication or multicast for BUM traffic. Border handoff uses VRF-Lite or L2/L3VPN. Spine and border-node roles are not part of this support, so plan the fabric around leaf placement.

  • How many VRFs can C9300L-48T-4X-A use as an MPLS provider edge router?

    In the PE role, C9300L-48T-4X-A supports MPLS with 256 VRFs, from IOS XE 16.12 with Network Advantage. The supported options include 6PE and 6VPE, MPLSoGRE, EoMPLSoGRE, multicast over VPN, and Inter-AS options A and B. The switch does not take a provider (P) role in this support, so keep MPLS designs to the edge.

  • What must match across the members of a stack that includes C9300L-48T-4X-A?

    Every member must run the same IOS XE release and the same license level. The stack uses SSO and NSF with up to 8 members over StackWise-320, and only Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM switches can join. The 320G ring is made of 4 rings of 40 Gbps. A member with a different release or license tier cannot take part in the stack.

  • Which USB and console ports does C9300L-48T-4X-A have?

    C9300L-48T-4X-A has a front USB Type A port (USB 3.0, 5V, 900 mA) for Cisco USB flash drives, a USB mini-Type B console and an RJ-45 console, plus a built-in passive RFID tag. Only the Catalyst 9300X and 9300LM add a USB Type C port. The rear panel has a USB 3.0 SSD slot for 120 or 240 GB drives.

  • Does C9300L-48T-4X-A support StackPower to share its PoE or power budget across a stack?

    No. StackPower is available only on modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 and 9300X models. On those models a ring pools power across up to four stack members, and an XPS 2200 expandable power system extends this to eight members. C9300L-48T-4X-A keeps its own 350W default supply, so size the power supplies for each switch separately.

  • How many PBR ACEs and multicast entries does the default Access SDM template give C9300L-48T-4X-A?

    The default Access SDM template on C9300L-48T-4X-A allows 1,024 PBR ACEs and 8,192 multicast entries, with 5,120 security ACEs. Check the allocation with the show sdm prefer command before a policy-based routing or multicast design, because the entries share the template with the other tables.

  • Which second power supplies are listed for C9300L-48T-4X-A?

    Only these supplies are listed for the Catalyst 9300L: 350W AC, 715W AC, 715W DC and 1100W AC, and the 1900W AC supply is not listed for it. The AC units are Platinum rated at 90% efficiency and the DC unit is Gold rated. Each switch has two supply bays and runs the pair as N+1.
