Description

The Catalyst 9300 C9300-48S-E is a stackable enterprise access switch built for campus and branch deployments where fibre downlinks are needed, such as fibre-to-the-desk or aggregation of 1G fibre links. It runs Cisco IOS XE on the UADP 2.0 ASIC and is a stackable building block for SD-Access in both 2-tier and 3-tier architectures.

The switch provides 48 x 1G SFP downlink ports and a modular uplink bay that accepts Catalyst 9300 network modules. Switching capacity is 256 Gbps, rising to 736 Gbps in a stack, with a forwarding rate of 190.47 Mpps (547.62 Mpps stacked). StackWise-480 supports up to 8 members, and StackPower allows power sharing across the stack. It carries 8 GB DRAM and 16 GB flash, and the default 715W AC power supply can be paired with a second unit for redundancy. This model has no PoE. It ships with the perpetual Network Essentials licence, covering Layer 2 and Layer 3 fundamentals, 802.1X, MACsec-128 and QoS. Switches in a stack must run the same licence level.

Uplinks use the C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q and C9300-NM-2Y network modules. It stacks with other Catalyst 9300 SKUs at the same licence level using STACK-T1 cables.

FAQs

Q: Which licence does the C9300-48S-E use?
A: It ships with the perpetual Network Essentials licence, and a Cisco Catalyst (DNA) subscription term licence is also required at order, for example C9300-DNX-E-48S-3Y, 5Y or 7Y. Switches in a stack must have the same licence level.

Q: Does this switch provide PoE?
A: No. It has no PoE. It ships with a 715W AC power supply (PWR-C1-715WAC-P), and a second power supply can be added for redundancy.

Q: Which uplink modules does it support?
A: It uses 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 it be stacked with?
A: It stacks with other Catalyst 9300 SKUs at the same licence level using STACK-T1-50CM, 1M or 3M cables, up to 8 members. It cannot stack with C9300L/LM models.

Q: Which IOS XE release does it need?
A: IOS XE 16.11.1a or later is required for the 1G fibre models.
