FAQs

Q: Does the C9300-48P-E include uplink modules?
A: No, the C9300-48P-E has a modular uplink slot but network modules are sold separately. Choose from options like C9300-NM-4G (4x 1G), C9300-NM-8X (8x 10G), or C9300-NM-2Q (2x 40G) based on your network requirements.

Q: What is the difference between Network Essentials and Network Advantage licenses?
A: Network Essentials (included with this model) provides core Layer 3 routing including static routing, RIP, and OSPF Routed Access with a 1000 route limit. Network Advantage adds advanced features like full OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, MPLS, Segment Routing, and full SD-Access support.

Q: Can I increase the PoE budget on this switch?
A: Yes, the C9300-48P-E has dual power supply slots. The default 715W PSU provides 437W PoE. Adding a secondary PSU increases available PoE: 787W with 350W secondary, 1152W with 715W secondary, or 1440W with 1100W secondary power supply.

Q: Is the C9300-48P-E compatible with Catalyst 3850 switches for stacking?
A: No, the C9300-48P-E cannot stack with Catalyst 3850 or 3650 switches. However, it supports mixed stacking with other Catalyst 9300 and 9300X modular uplink models at StackWise-480 speeds, with up to 8 switches per stack and 480 Gbps stacking bandwidth.

Q: What devices are ideal to power with this switch?
A: The C9300-48P-E is optimized for high-density PoE deployments including Wi-Fi 6/802.11ac Wave2 access points, IP phones, VoIP devices, IP surveillance cameras, building automation systems, and IoT devices requiring up to 30W per port via 802.3at PoE+.
