C9300X-24Y-A Description

  The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-24Y-A is a high-density, data-only fiber access switch optimized for campus and data-center edge environments demanding ultra-high throughput, advanced routing capabilities, and robust security. It provides 24 multi-rate SFP28 ports, each supporting 25 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or 1 Gbps, enabling seamless migration from 10 Gigabit Ethernet to 25 Gigabit Ethernet as bandwidth needs evolve. Four modular uplink slots support a choice of C9300X network modules—such as the NM-8Y (8×25 G/10 G/1 G SFP), NM-2C (2×100 G/40 G QSFP), or NM-4C (4×100 G/40 G QSFP)—for tailored aggregation or core connectivity without forklift upgrades.

Key Features

Dynamic Routing & MPLS

Full BGP/OSPFv3/MPLS support with route maps and policy controls for campus distribution or WAN aggregation.

ASIC-Based VXLAN & EVPN

Hardware-accelerated VXLAN EVPN routing enables Layer 3 overlay without external routers.

100 Gbps IPsec Offload

UADP 2.0Sec provides wire-speed IPsec encryption up to 100 Gbps for secure site-to-site or cloud connectivity.

MACsec & ETA Security

Supports MACsec 256-bit on uplinks and Encrypted Traffic Analytics to detect anomalies before core transit.

AppNav + QoS

Classifies 4,000+ applications in hardware, pairing with low-latency QoS to guarantee performance for voice/video while policing lower-priority flows.

Telemetry & In-Service Upgrade

Real-time gNMI/YANG streaming and Flexible NetFlow feed proactive assurance; Live Upgrade enables software updates without downtime.

Application Scenarios

Zero-Trust Campus Segmentation

Acts as an SD-Access edge node, enforcing policies via Cisco TrustSec and MACsec, isolating traffic per department or user group with hardware-based VXLAN routing.

Branch WAN Aggregation

Aggregates multiple 10 GbE/25 GbE uplinks and performs hardware IPsec (100 Gbps) and MPLS services on-box, enabling service chaining (e.g., firewall, WAN optimizer) without external routers.

Converged IoT & Video Edge

Classifies/prioritizes critical IoT or video traffic via AppNav and QoS; provides encrypted-traffic analytics (ETA) to detect threats from industrial or camera devices.

Questions & Answers

  • What is Cisco C9300X-24Y-A designed for?

    Cisco C9300X-24Y-A is designed for 24-port SFP28 fiber connectivity with modular uplinks, StackWise-1T, and Network Advantage licensing. It fits environments that need 25G fiber ports plus Advantage-level Layer 3 and policy features.
  • How is C9300X-24Y-A different from C9300X-24Y-E?

    C9300X-24Y-A includes Network Advantage, while C9300X-24Y-E includes Network Essentials. Both use the same 24-port SFP28 fiber hardware profile.
  • Does C9300X-24Y-A have copper access ports?

    No. C9300X-24Y-A is an SFP28 fiber model, not a RJ-45 copper access switch. It is selected for fiber or DAC connectivity rather than desk-side copper endpoints.
  • Can C9300X-24Y-A run 25G links?

    Yes. C9300X-24Y-A is built around 24 SFP28 ports, which support 25G use with compatible optics or cables. It can also serve lower-speed fiber roles when supported optics are used.
  • Can C9300X-24Y-A use C9300X network modules?

    Yes. C9300X-24Y-A supports C9300X modular network modules for uplink expansion. The module choice should match the upstream speed, optics, and redundancy plan.
  • Can C9300X-24Y-A be stacked with other C9300X switches?

    Yes. C9300X-24Y-A supports StackWise-1T and can be stacked with compatible C9300X models. Mixed C9300X stacks should be checked for software, licensing, and port-role consistency.
  • When should I choose C9300X-48TX-A instead of C9300X-24Y-A?

    Choose C9300X-48TX-A when the access side needs 48 copper multigigabit data ports. Choose C9300X-24Y-A when the priority is 24 SFP28 fiber ports.
  • When is C9300X-24Y-A more than the site needs?

    C9300X-24Y-A may be more than the site needs when 10G SFP+ or 1G SFP access is enough. C9300X-24Y-E or a C9300 fiber model may be a better match depending on required port speed and license tier.
