Cisco C9300-24UXB-E | Catalyst 9300 24-Port 10G mGig UPOE Switch, 560W, Modular Uplinks

Q: What network modules are compatible with the C9300-24UXB-E?
A: The modular uplink bay supports Cisco Catalyst 9300 and 3850 network modules, including options for 10G SFP+, 25G SFP28, and 40G QSFP+ uplinks. Network modules are sold separately and allow flexible uplink configurations to match your network backbone requirements.

Q: Can the C9300-24UXB-E be stacked with other Catalyst 9300 models?
A: Yes, but only with other higher-scale models (C9300-24UB, C9300-24UXB, C9300-48UB). Mixed stacking with standard Catalyst 9300, 9300X, or 9300L models is not supported. StackWise-480 cables (sold separately) enable up to 8 switches with 480 Gbps stacking bandwidth.

Q: What is the difference between Network Essentials and Network Advantage licenses?
A: Network Essentials provides core Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, VLAN routing, and essential security features. Network Advantage adds advanced capabilities like MACsec encryption, advanced QoS, dynamic routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP, BGP), and Cisco TrustSec integration for enterprise-grade security and segmentation.

Q: How much power can each port deliver with UPOE?
A: Each port supports Cisco UPOE delivering up to 60W per port, doubling the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard. This enables powering of high-demand devices like Wi-Fi 6 access points, PTZ cameras, building automation controllers, and digital signage over a single Ethernet cable.

Q: Is the C9300-24UXB-E suitable for deploying Wi-Fi 6 access points?
A: Absolutely. The multigigabit ports support speeds up to 10 Gbps over existing Cat 5e/6 cabling, and UPOE provides sufficient power for Wi-Fi 6/6E access points. The deep buffer (64 MB) ensures loss-free multimedia and high-throughput wireless traffic aggregation in dense deployments.
