Description

The Catalyst 9300 48-port Gigabit PoE+ switch is a stackable enterprise access switch for campus and branch networks. It suits PoE+ endpoints such as IP phones, wireless access points, cameras and IoT devices, and serves as a building block for SD-Access fabric deployments.

This model provides 48 x 10/100/1000 PoE+ downlink ports with modular uplinks, so the uplink speed is chosen by the network module fitted (4x1G, 8x10G, 2x25G, 2x40G or 4x mGig). Switching capacity is 256 Gbps (736 Gbps in a stack) and forwarding rate is 190.47 Mpps, with StackWise-480 stacking for up to 8 members. It ships with a 715W AC supply (PWR-C1-715WAC-P), which provides 437W of PoE budget on its own and up to 1152W with a second 715W supply. It carries the Network Advantage perpetual licence, which adds advanced routing, VRF, VXLAN, LISP, TrustSec and MACsec-256 on top of the Network Essentials feature set.

It works with Catalyst 9300 network modules (C9300-NM-4G, 4M, 8X, 2Q, 2Y), STACK-T1 stacking cables, CAB-SPWR StackPower cables and 120 GB or 240 GB USB 3.0 SSD storage modules. It stacks with other Catalyst 9300 and 9300X modular-uplink models running the same licence level.

FAQs

Q: Which software licence does this switch carry?
A: It ships with the Network Advantage perpetual licence, which includes the Network Essentials features. A Catalyst or Cisco DNA subscription term licence matching the Advantage tier is ordered separately for new purchases, for example C9300-DNX-A-48.

Q: How much PoE budget does the default power supply provide?
A: The default 715W supply (PWR-C1-715WAC-P) provides 437W of PoE on its own. A second 715W supply raises this to 1152W, and an 1100W or 1900W secondary supply raises it to 1440W. Full 30W PoE+ on all 48 ports needs 2x PWR-C1-1100WAC-P or 1x 1100W plus 1x 715W.

Q: Which uplink modules does it accept?
A: It accepts Catalyst 9300 network modules C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q and C9300-NM-2Y. Catalyst 9300X network modules are not supported.

Q: What can this switch be stacked with?
A: It stacks with other Catalyst 9300 and 9300X modular-uplink models at StackWise-480 speeds, provided they run the same licence level. It does not stack with C9300L/LM or higher-scale UB/UXB models, or with other Catalyst families.

Q: How does this model differ from the Network Essentials version?
A: The C9300-48P-A carries the Network Advantage tier, which adds advanced routing, VRF, VXLAN, LISP, TrustSec and MACsec-256. The hardware is the same 48-port PoE+ platform.
