C9300X-24Y-E Description

C9300X-24Y-E
  Cisco Catalyst C9300X-24Y-E is a high-density, data-only fiber access switch engineered for campus and data-center edge environments that demand ultra-high throughput with flexible uplink options. It provides 24 multi-rate SFP28 ports capable of 25 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or 1 Gbps, allowing seamless migration from 10 GbE to 25 GbE as network needs evolve. There are four modular uplink slots, supporting any combination 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.Powered by a single 715 W AC supply (PWR-C1-715WAC-P), the switch consumes approximately 115 VA at idle while delivering nonblocking, line-rate performance via the UADP 2.0Sec ASIC. In standalone mode, it delivers 2 Tbps of switching capacity (2,000 Gbps) and 1,488 Mpps forwarding; when stacked via StackWise-1T (up to eight members), capacity scales to 3 Tbps (3,000 Gbps) and forwarding to 2,232 Mpps.

    Cisco provides the C9300X-24Y-E with a Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty, next‑business‑day hardware replacement, and 90‑day Cisco TAC support.

  • Does the C9300X-24Y-E require a DNA subscription to operate?

    No. The switch operates with its perpetual Network Advantage or Essentials image, but adding a Cisco DNA subscription unlocks advanced automation, assurance, and analytics features.

  • Is C9300X-24Y-E manageable through Cisco DNA Center?

    Absolutely. The C9300X-24Y-E integrates with Cisco DNA Center for zero‑touch provisioning, policy automation, assurance, and software image management.

  • Does C9300X-24Y-E support Perpetual PoE during reboots?

    Yes. Perpetual and Fast PoE ensure that connected devices stay powered even while the switch is rebooting or upgrading software.

  • What is the maximum stack bandwidth for C9300X-24Y-E?

    All Catalyst 9300 non‑X models, including the C9300X-24Y-E, deliver up to 480 Gbps of stack bandwidth; X‑series variants offer up to 1 Tbps.

  • How do I license additional features on C9300X-24Y-E?

    Use Cisco Smart Licensing to activate DNA Advantage or Premier subscriptions; the C9300X-24Y-E registers with Cisco Smart Account over the internet or through an on‑premises satellite.

    No. Catalyst 9300 switches employ a single CPU architecture; resiliency is achieved through StackWise and dual power supplies.

  • Can C9300X-24Y-E terminate network‑level encryption like MACsec?

    Yes. Line‑rate 256‑bit MACsec encryption is available on all downlink and uplink ports of the C9300X-24Y-E with the appropriate license.

  • Can I stack the C9300X-24Y-E with other Catalyst 9300 models?

    Yes. The C9300X-24Y-E supports Cisco StackWise technology, letting you combine up to eight Catalyst 9300 family switches into a single logical unit for higher throughput and simplified management.

  • Which uplink modules are compatible with C9300X-24Y-E?

    The C9300X-24Y-E uses a modular network module slot supporting 1G/10G/25G options. Cisco network modules such as C9300-NM-2Y, C9300-NM-4G, or C9300X-NM-2C can be selected based on required bandwidth.

  • Is the C9300X-24Y-E UL or CE certified for safety?

    The switch meets UL/CSA 60950‑1/62368‑1, CE Mark, and other global safety standards, making it suitable for worldwide deployment.

  • What environmental specs should I consider for C9300X-24Y-E?

    Operate the C9300X-24Y-E between 0 °C and 45 °C and below 5000 ft altitude for full PoE load; derate operating temperature above that elevation.

  • Is there a fanless version of C9300X-24Y-E for silent environments?

    No. All Catalyst 9300 family switches, including the C9300X-24Y-E, use variable‑speed fans to maintain optimal operating temperatures.

  • What kind of power supplies can C9300X-24Y-E accommodate?

    The C9300X-24Y-E ships with a field‑replaceable AC power supply and supports redundant secondary units. You can mix AC, DC, or HVAC/HVDC supplies depending on installation needs.

  • Is IPv6 fully supported on C9300X-24Y-E?

    Yes. The C9300X-24Y-E hardware and software include IPv6 First Hop Security, RA guard, DHCPv6 snooping, and comprehensive routing support.

  • Can I field‑replace the fans on C9300X-24Y-E without downtime?

    Yes—fan trays are hot‑swappable. You can replace a failed fan while the C9300X-24Y-E remains in service.
