Cisco C9300L-48P-4G-E | Catalyst 9300L 48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch, 505W, 4x 1G SFP

Q: What license is included with the C9300L-48P-4G-E?
A: This model ships with the Network Essentials license, which provides Layer 2 switching, basic Layer 3 features including static routing, ACLs, VLANs, QoS, DHCP snooping, IGMP, and basic security features. For advanced Layer 3 routing protocols like OSPF and BGP, consider the Network Advantage version.

Q: Can this switch power all 48 ports with PoE+ simultaneously?
A: With the default 505W power supply, the switch can power approximately 16 ports at full 30W PoE+ power simultaneously, or all 48 ports at reduced PoE (802.3af, 15.4W per port). Adding a secondary power supply increases the budget to 720W, enabling 24 ports at full PoE+ or all 48 ports at standard PoE.

Q: Is the C9300L-48P-4G-E compatible with Catalyst 3850 or 9300 modular switches in a stack?
A: No, the C9300L fixed uplink models can only stack with other C9300L or C9300LM fixed uplink switches using StackWise-320 technology. They cannot be stacked with modular Catalyst 9300, 9300X, 3850, or 3650 series switches.

Q: What type of transceivers are supported in the 4x 1G SFP uplink ports?
A: The 1G SFP uplink ports support standard Cisco 1G SFP transceivers including GLC-SX-MMD (multimode fiber), GLC-LH-SMD (single-mode fiber), and GLC-T (copper RJ45 SFP). Always use Cisco-compatible transceivers for full support and warranty coverage.

Q: Does this switch support Cisco DNA Center and SD-Access?
A: Yes, the C9300L-48P-4G-E is fully compatible with Cisco DNA Center for centralized network automation, monitoring, and management. It also supports Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) for policy-based segmentation and automation, though advanced SD-Access features may require a Network Advantage license.
