C9300X-24Y-E Description
The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-24Y-E is a high-density fiber aggregation switch designed for enterprise distribution layers and data center access scenarios where bandwidth is critical but advanced routing features are handled elsewhere. As a member of the powerful Catalyst 9300X family, it features 24 multi-rate SFP28 ports capable of supporting 25G, 10G, and 1G speeds. This flexibility allows it to aggregate high-speed connections from multiple access switches or servers, providing a cost-effective, high-bandwidth bridge to the network core.
Running on the Network Essentials license, this switch delivers robust Layer 2 switching and foundational Layer 3 routing (OSPF Routed Access), along with advanced security features like Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA) and MACsec encryption. Powered by the UADP 2.5sec ASIC, it supports 100G modular uplinks and StackWise-1T technology, offering 1 Terabit of stacking bandwidth. This makes the C9300X-24Y-E an ideal choice for organizations looking to scale their network capacity to 25G/100G without paying for unnecessary advanced routing licenses.

Key Features
Scalable Fiber Density. Provides 24 native 25 Gigabit SFP28 ports in a compact 1RU form factor. This high density allows network architects to aggregate a large number of 10G or 25G links from access closets or server racks, significantly reducing the number of switches required in the distribution layer.
Backbone Speed. Supports the C9300X-NM series network modules, enabling dual-rate 100G/40G uplinks. This massive uplink capacity ensures that the aggregated traffic from 24 high-speed downlinks flows smoothly to the core, eliminating oversubscription bottlenecks common in legacy aggregation switches.
Optimized Cost. Includes the Network Essentials license, which focuses on core switching, quality of service (QoS), and basic routing. This is perfect for “Layer 2 Distribution” designs where complex routing policies (BGP, MPLS) are managed by the core layer, allowing organizations to maximize bandwidth per dollar.
Terabit Stacking. Features the industry-leading StackWise-1T technology, allowing up to 8 switches to be stacked with 1 Tbps of backplane throughput. This enables the management of up to 192 fiber ports as a single logical unit, providing simplified operations and high availability with Stateful Switchover (SSO).
Secure Data Transport. The UADP 2.5sec ASIC supports line-rate MACsec-256 encryption on all ports. This ensures that data traveling between buildings or across the campus fiber plant is protected from physical tapping and eavesdropping, a critical requirement for finance and government sectors.
Network Visibility. Equipped with a powerful x86 CPU and 16GB of RAM, this switch can host containerized applications such as Cisco ThousandEyes agents. This capability provides deep visibility into network performance and application experience directly from the aggregation point, aiding in rapid troubleshooting.
Application Scenarios
Layer 2 Aggregation. Ideal for acting as a distribution switch in a large campus network. It collects 10G uplinks from multiple C9200 or C9300 access switches and forwards traffic to the core via 100G links, using Layer 2 redundancy protocols like MEC (Multichassis EtherChannel) across the stack.
Server Connectivity. Perfect for connecting a rack of high-performance servers equipped with 10G or 25G NICs. The switch provides low-latency connectivity within the rack and high-speed uplinks to the spine, suitable for virtualized workloads and storage traffic.
Large File Transport. For media production houses moving massive video files, the 25G ports provide the necessary throughput for editing workstations and storage servers, while the 100G uplinks ensure rapid transfer to central archives or broadcast centers.

Selection Guide
- Requirement for 25G Distribution
Select this model if you need to aggregate multiple downstream switches using 25G links. It offers higher port density (24 ports) than the 12-port model, making it suitable for larger buildings or denser server racks. - Essentials License Fit
Choose this Essentials model if your distribution layer acts primarily as a Layer 2 aggregator or performs only basic routing. It allows you to invest in high-performance 25G/100G hardware without paying for the advanced routing features (BGP/MPLS) of the Advantage license. - Future-Proof 100G Uplinks
This switch is a strategic choice for networks transitioning to 100G backbones. The modular uplink slot ensures that your aggregation layer can connect to the core at maximum speed, preventing bottlenecks for years to come. - Stacking Scalability
If you anticipate needing more than 24 fiber ports in the future, the StackWise-1T technology allows you to stack additional units to expand capacity up to 192 ports while managing them as a single device.
