FAQs

Q: Does this switch include network uplink modules?
A: No, the C9300-48H-E uses modular uplinks. Network modules such as C9300-NM-8X (8x 10G SFP+) or C9300-NM-2Q (2x 40G QSFP+) must be ordered separately. The switch includes 4 hot-swappable module bays for maximum flexibility.

Q: What is the difference between Network Essentials and Network Advantage?
A: Network Essentials provides core Layer 3 routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP, RIP), basic SD-Access, and Encrypted Traffic Analytics. Network Advantage adds advanced features including full BGP, MPLS, Segment Routing, LISP, VXLAN, and comprehensive SD-Access capabilities for intent-based networking.

Q: Can I stack this switch with other Catalyst models?
A: The C9300-48H-E can be stacked with other Catalyst 9300 and 9300X modular uplink models using StackWise-480 or StackWise-1T technology (up to 8 switches). It cannot be stacked with Catalyst 9300L fixed uplink models or older 3850/3650 series switches.

Q: How much PoE power is available for high-power devices?
A: The switch delivers UPoE+ (802.3bt) with up to 90W per port, ideal for Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, PTZ cameras, digital signage, and building IoT devices. The default configuration provides 822W total PoE budget, expandable to 2880W maximum with dual 1900W power supplies.

Q: What Cisco DNA or software licensing is required?
A: The C9300-48H-E requires a Cisco DNA or Catalyst software subscription. Network Essentials (included with -E SKU) provides core features. Customers can upgrade to Network Advantage for advanced routing and full SD-Access. Subscriptions are available in 3, 5, or 7-year terms.
