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.

Applications 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.
